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.

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...
