Zack Polanski AM: Good afternoon to you both. I would like to direct my questions to the Mayor. I would like to ask you about renewable energy. In 2019, we received a written answer that said that TfL were only using 200 megawatt hours per year of renewable energy. Now, that is 0.01% which is attributable to renewable sources. That figure is embarrassingly low. When you were challenged about this by my colleagues you did concede and you said, “You are right; we have to do much better[...] We do not want to wait until the mid-2020s”. Well, it is...

In light of the tragic recent death on the Wembley construction site, and the average 1 death a week in construction in London, what powers does the Mayor have to ensure that contractors, and more importantly their sub-contractors, on London's building sites fully comply with their Health and Safety obligations? . .

Is the Mayor prepared to make Health and Safety a core responsibility of lead contactors for all GLA Family managed construction projects that they cannot contract out to sub-contractors? [Brief- T&G and other unions are very concerned about the fact that many sub-contractors are not fulfilling their H&S obligations. Lead contractors say this is the responsibility of their subsidies. As a result the death toll on construction sites remains at shameful levels. The problem is exacerbated by the high use of (sometimes illegal) foreign workers with little or no english language skills by the subbies. The unions are not trying...
