Siân Berry AM: Mr Mayor, in relation to police live access to ANPR cameras for the wider ULEZ, you seem to have just said, “They do have access,” followed up by, “They will have access.” At the present time, is it ‘will’ or ‘do?’

Siân Berry AM: Thank you very much. My questions are also to the Mayor. You will recall, Mr Mayor, the election campaign of 2016, where from the very start, sitting on platforms with Assembly Member Pidgeon and yourself, I would not stop going on about the need for a London-wide ULEZ and smarter, fairer road charging. It is a huge relief to finally see an outbreak of widespread, political courage on this matter; I really appreciate it. For my question, I wanted to go back to what the Transport Committee asked in relation to promoting safety considerations as part of...

Siân Berry AM (Chair): Thank you very much, Chair. I have a tiny bit of time left, and I wanted to reflect back on the kind of communications we are getting. I have been getting a lot of emails. By and large, the people who are against this scheme are being terribly reasonable and just pointing out to me that they have a degree of car dependency, and they are worried about the cost to them of changing their vehicles. We are getting some quite constructive conversations about what they would need in order to do that. Something you said...

Siân Berry AM: Thank you very much, Chair. My first question is also to the Deputy Mayor. In terms of going for the Games in the first place, if [Sir] Peter Hendy had not quoted Ken Livingstone , I would have done because it really is crucial that we did not go for it on the point of sport; we did it because development of the East End was the main point. That quote from Ken Livingstone ends with, “Build the housing”. Therefore I want to ask about housing and particularly overcrowding. Within the convergence framework that resulted, there were...

Zack Polanski AM: Thank you. Lyn, if I can direct my questions to you, these are about culture and creativity. Hackney Wick and Fish Island were used as case studies, particularly in your Local Plan 2020-2036, highlighting them as a Creative Enterprise Zone. It strikes me that a lot of this was about redistributing existing space. What is being done to create new space, particularly for small creative artists?

Zack Polanski AM: Thank you very much, Chair. We are in a climate crisis and we know that the solutions to the cost of living crisis, the energy crisis and the climate crisis are the same solutions. One of the biggest ones at the moment is that we need to insulate homes, so I want to ask you about your green jobs. Citizens UK has been in touch with me. In April 2021 it wrote to the Mayor to ask for an annual report on green jobs, particularly around insulating homes. Will we be getting those regular reports?

Zack Polanski AM: Jules, as Deputy Mayor, I want to ask you a few questions about people seeking asylum. It is something you mentioned in your introductory remarks. First of all, just to applaud, really, that this is an important part of the work of the AEB. Now, I know that there has been a lot of focus on improving coordination of English for speakers of other languages (ESOL). Could I ask what other types of course that you are looking to do, or are doing, for people seeking asylum?
