  • Health Impact of the Cost of Living Crisis (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 12 October 2023
    Emma Best AM: Thank you. Like many, I have been devastated this party conference season to see on show the growing transphobic rhetoric in all parties [represented] within this Assembly. I clearly acknowledge with sadness that the crescendo of that lies with my own party due to the seniority with which those comments come. LGBT and particularly trans Londoners are some of the most vulnerable in London. It is not just the cost of living but the political landscape which is having a long-term effect on mental health. Firstly, can I give a rare and genuine thank you for your...

  • Question and Answer Session: Refugees in London (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2023
    Thank you, Chair. Good morning, panel. I address my first question to Deputy Mayor Tom Copley. The Mayor first announced in February that he had received £126 million from the Government’s Local Authority Housing Fund to provide homes for refugees and that this funding would be used to provide 600 affordable homes, mainly for Ukrainian and Afghans fleeing conflict. How many of these homes have been provided so far?

  • Question and Answer Session: Refugees in London (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2023
    Emma Best AM: I think so. Thanks, Chair. Yes, I was just trying to work out Deputy Mayor [Tom] Copley’s political neutrality, which seemed a lot stronger when he was talking to Assembly Member [Tony] Devenish than Assembly Member [Unmesh] Desai.

  • Question and Answer Session: Refugees in London (Supplementary) [17]

    • Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2023
    Lord Bailey of Paddington AM: Thank you, Chair. This is for Enver. Earlier on in the conversation, Enver, we talked about asylum seekers’ rights to work and the length of time and people wanted to have it shortened. You said for a length of time, but you did not give a length of time. What to you, would be workable, ideal, something around that region?

  • Overcrowding (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 18 May 2023
    Emma Best AM: Thank you, Chair. Just quickly, Mr Mayor. 18% of the affordable housing starts last year [2022] were family homes - only 18% - and, clearly, that is not going to meet the need to support overcrowded homes. Will you look urgently into making sure that that percentage increases when we look at these stats next year [2024]?

  • Question and Answer Session: London Legacy Development Corporation (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2023
    Shaun Bailey AM: Good morning to both of our guests. Can I start with you, Lord Hendy. On 7 March [2023] you announced a consultation on reducing the size of LLDC from December 2024. It was also confirmed that LLDC would maintain its status with a reconstituted board and a governance structure and a return of planning powers to the constituent boroughs. What were the objectives behind these changes?

  • Question and Answer Session: Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2023
    Emma Best AM: Thank you, Chair, and good morning, both. Liz, we were just hearing from [Lord] Peter Hendy [CBE] then that Mayoral Development Corporations (MDCs) “get things done”. According to the [Sir Bob] Kerslake Review [ of GLA Group Housing Delivery ], the OPDC “has not delivered any housing directly”. Is this something that you think is now a position that has changed and you feel more confident about delivery?

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
    • Meeting date: 09 June 2022
    Shaun Bailey AM: Morning to our guests. Can I address my question to the Mayor? It has been reported in a number of places in the press that a supposed whistle-blower has talked about a metal box that could explode and cause the doors on the new Elizabeth line trains to fly off. Are you aware of these claims and how accurate are they?

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [18]

    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 09 June 2022
    Emma Best AM: In 2017, TfL modelling suggested that 135,000 vehicles per day would use the expanded ULEZ and that was the justification for spending £130 million on the expansion. Fast-forward to today - or to November [2021] when we had the last stock of that - and you have 50,000 chargeable vehicles travelling within the expanded zone. That is a little over a third of where the estimated figure came in the forecast. Now, looking ahead to the London-wide expansion, TfL estimates that 87% of vehicles travelling within that zone will be compliant, leaving 13% that are not. There...

  • Question and Answer Session: COVID-19 Recovery - The Next Steps for London (Supplementary) [15]

    • Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
    • Meeting date: 04 March 2021
    Shaun Bailey AM: Good morning, Jules. My first question is: why was a mission‑based approach selected?
