• Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
• Meeting date: 01 December 2022

Shaun Bailey AM: Thank you, Chair. Trust and confidence in the police in the Black community is at an all-time low, and we can all agree that disproportionality is a big part of that. The disproportionality is the rate at which our children get murdered, and the amount of Black children and people who are involved as both perpetrator and victim of crime. Given this, what plan do the police have to take some of these weapons off the streets? I address that to Sir Mark first.

Shaun Bailey AM: Thank you, Chair. Good afternoon, panel. The Mayor has made no secret of his desire for another Olympic Games and he used the phrasing, it will be “the greenest Games ever” because we already have the kit. Do we already have the kit though? As we know, the Stadium is locked in a contract, a 99-year deal or something along those lines. So do we actually have the kit? Let me start with the Deputy Mayor and then I will come to Lyn.

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.

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?

Shaun Bailey AM: Thank you, Chair. I just want to return to this theme of ethnicity. Is ethnicity a good way to decide how you spend your resource?

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?

Shaun Bailey AM: Good morning, Michelle and Jules, I hope you are doing well. Great to see you again. Long time, no see. How do London’s enrolment and qualification rates compare to other AEBs across the country?
