Nick Rogers AM: Thank you, Chair. Just briefly, Mr Mayor, you mentioned the phrase “step-free desert”, which is one I have used before in relation to Chiswick, a key area of London served by the Piccadilly line and the District line, but none of the stations there have step-free access. Just a quick plea, if you could ask your team to go and look at what they can do at those stations. I know that they are difficult stations, there is no easy solution to step-free access there, but an entire area of London is without step-free access, therefore could...

Nick Rogers AM: Thank you, Chair. Good morning, panel. I have some questions around English language skills, so I imagine they will probably sit best with Tunde Olayinka. Through the Adult Education Budget (AEB), the GLA funds English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) provision for around 40,000 people in London at a cost of approximately £40 million. Do you know how many refugees are amongst that 40,000?

Nick Rogers AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. Good morning, Commissioner. You talked about the Elizabeth line, and it is an absolutely fantastic piece of British engineering. I have really enjoyed travelling on it. It will make a huge difference, not just to London, but to the southeast and beyond. While we are all extremely happy that it is open, we cannot ignore the sometimes tortured journey that it took to get to that point. Do we have a clear picture, Mr Mayor, of the financial impact overall in terms of lost revenue and additional capital spending of the delay to...

Navin Shah AM (Chair): Thank you very much. Minister Zahawi, I know this morning already you had a very busy schedule. I have heard you on Leading Britain's Conversation (LBC), we have seen you on Sky [Network] Television (TV) and you are here this morning with us. I cannot thank you enough. May I just on behalf of the Assembly if you can spare another minute, ask you a question of reassurance that we are seeking on behalf of Londoners? That is: is London now receiving its fair share of COVID‑19 vaccinations and can we be confident that it will...

David Kurten AM: I would like to ask, yes, Martin Machray if I could, back to the people who were here before. You refer to the vaccine or the injections that people are being given from Pfizer, AstraZeneca and Moderna as vaccines. However, the substances from Pfizer and Moderna are not vaccines, as people understand vaccines. They are experimental Messenger RNA (mRNA) gene technologies. Why do you continue to refer to those two substances and injections as vaccines?

David Kurten AM: Thank you, Chair. I would like to ask Dr Fenton. We heard from the Chair and you earlier about admissions to hospitals with COVID being the highest since the start of the declared pandemic in March 2020. How do total hospital admissions now, this January, compare to last January and other winter seasons before this year?
