  • Question and Answer Session: Policing (Supplementary) [13]

    • Question by: Krupesh Hirani
    • Meeting date: 01 December 2022
    Krupesh Hirani AM: Thank you, Chair, and my question is to Sir Mark first of all. You told the October 2022 Police and Crime Committee that: “What the public should see is us stabilising our neighbourhood policing, so people are less abstracted ...” Between quarter 1 (Q1) of 2020/21 and quarter 1 of 2022/23, the abstraction level for Dedicated Ward Officers fluctuated between 3.6% and 9.9%. I recently met with the ward panel representative of Queensbury Ward in my constituency in the London Borough of Brent, and it was a real issue that they were raising with their local Safer...

    • Question by: Krupesh Hirani
    • Meeting date: 17 November 2022
    Krupesh Hirani AM: Thank you, Chair. This is to the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan. What health benefits have been achieved by expanding ULEZ to the North and South Circular Roads so far?

  • Question and Answer Session: Legacy of the 2012 London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (Supplementary) [14]

    • Question by: Zack Polanski
    • Meeting date: 06 October 2022
    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?

  • Adult Education Budget (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Zack Polanski
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2022
    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?

  • Adult Education Budget (Supplementary) [13]

    • Question by: Krupesh Hirani
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2022
    Krupesh Hirani AM: Thank you, Chair. The latest available figures show that as of June [2022], London’s National Health Service (NHS) had a record vacancy rate for fulltime staff exceeding 30,000 unfilled positions. I recognise that the Mayor does not have any statutory powers over the running of health and social care in London but there are still ways in which the GLA can support the sector, particularly around non-clinical and non-medical roles in the NHS, and social care as well. Deputy Mayor, what are you and the Mayor doing to support the health and social care sector in London?

  • Adult Education Budget (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Zack Polanski
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2022
    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?
