  • Question and Answer Session: Refugees in London (Supplementary) [16]

    • Question by: Zack Polanski
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2023
    Zack Polanski AM: Thank you very much, Chair. Good afternoon, panel. Enver, if I can begin with you, I have met recently also with the Joint Council for Welfare of Immigrants. I also went to a protest recently with Reclaim the Sea and spoke to lots of people with lived experience of the system. Something that came up over and over again that you have echoed today is the barrier of not speaking English. In fact, recent census data shows that 303,000 Londoners do not speak English well and 52,000 Londoners do not speak English at all. Page 32 You...

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [23]

    • Question by: Zack Polanski
    • Meeting date: 09 June 2022
    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...

  • Learning losses in schools

    • Meeting date: 18 March 2021
    A new report from the Department for Education shows that learning losses in schools that have many pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds were around 50% higher than those schools with very few pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds. How worried are you about this generation of disadvantaged Londoners being left behind?

    London’s youth unemployment has reached 22%. This is incredibly worrying. What are you doing to reduce this?

  • Question and Answer Session: COVID-19 Recovery - The Next Steps for London (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 04 March 2021
    Jennette Arnold OBE AM: The idea of Assembly Member Qureshi being at the pulse of London is so amazing. We are so thrilled to have him among us. My question is for Councillor Danny Thorpe. It is about the need for a robust safety net for possibly millions of Londoners who are desperate to avoid being trapped in poverty and can see little support coming their way to relieve their hardship. You spoke earlier about a new generation in poverty, and I wondered if you could give us a couple of examples of how the missions of the Recovery Board...

  • Bus shelter at the "Southgate Road" stop on Balls Pond

    • Reference: 2021/0782
    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 25 February 2021
    The bus shelter at the "Southgate Road" stop on Balls Pond Road has been replaced and the new one does not have Countdown. Now that buses to Highbury Corner are 15 minutes apart it is all the more necessary to know if you have just missed one! Could the Mayor confirm when a Countdown will be installed?

  • Policing in supermarkets

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 25 February 2021
    Can you tell me how many times Met Police Officers have been called to supermarkets to respond to COVID-19 rule breaking in 1) London Borough of Hackney and 2) London Borough of Islington and 3) London Borough of Waltham Forest?

  • Impact of school closures

    • Reference: 2021/0784
    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 25 February 2021
    In October, the Education Panel recommended that you should inform the Education Panel about ongoing or planned data collection to understand the effect of the COVID-19 school closures on education inequality in London, including the collection of ethnicity data. In your response, you stated that “My team will analyse DfE statistical publications and present London-level comparisons of specific groups. This analysis includes a range of characteristics, including differences in attainment and progress by ethnicity, free school meal eligibility and special educational need status”. What has your monitoring and analysis of this data revealed about the effect of COVID-19 school closures...

  • School signage

    • Reference: 2021/0785
    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 25 February 2021
    Concerns have been raised with me about road safety around Hackney New Primary School in my constituency. I understand that the signage on Kingsland Road (cornered Downham Road) is very unclear and does not alert drivers to the fact there is a local primary school and will be children crossing. Can you assure me TfL will be amending this?
