• Question by: David Kurten
• Meeting date: 02 July 2020

David Kurten AM: Good morning, everybody. My first question would go to David Bellamy. I think you would be the person to answer this, but if you are not you can pass it on. My question is, what remuneration will the members of the London Transition Board and London Recovery Board be receiving for their service?

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: My questions are to start off with to John O’Brien. I want to ask about support for businesses in London, with a particular focus on the restaurant industry. According to data from the Office for National Statistics, as of July last year there were nearly 16,000 restaurants in London employing around 325,000 people. Clearly, the sector has been hit very hard by COVID-19. Data showed in March, before the pandemic had fully hit, that 71% more food and accommodation businesses closed this March than they had in the previous March. John, I wonder if you could...

Léonie Cooper AM: My first question is to David Bellamy and it is about the balance between lives and livelihoods. Many politicians and commentators have portrayed the journey out of lockdown as a trade-off between the economy and health and between lives and livelihoods. Do you agree that this is a false distinction and that there cannot really be a full economic recovery without the public being confident that going about daily life is safe?

I did want to pick up a question I had asked last month, we had the Diamond Jubilee, were there any particular operational issues that were learned, Commissioner, that you are then applying to the games themselves?

• Question by: Steve O'Connell
• Meeting date: 19 July 2012

Returning if I may to the effects, Commissioner, of the G4S ineptitude on the boroughs. I am pleased to hear your professional judgment that you expect perhaps no further draw or demand upon those resources, but clearly that remains to be seen as it plays out. However, I respect your opinion on that. Something that worries many residents is around the pressure on the Safer Neighbourhood Teams (SNT). The Mayor has given a commitment that the Safer Neighbourhood Teams will be staffed during this period. But remember they are starting from quite a low base at the moment, already the...

• Meeting date: 19 July 2012

Chair, it is just a quick question, and it goes back I think to where Steve [O'Connell] started. Commissioner, what I just wanted to raise with you was, as well as the Olympics, and I welcome the assurances that you have given from where you are at the moment, it is summer time, even though it is so wet out there, and during this time there would normally be contingency plans for events that happen, certainly in some boroughs that I am familiar with, over that summer period. You would normally, I know in the boroughs I represent, they would...

A question to the Commissioner. Just earlier on, and I apologise for arriving late, but I heard you, in terms of you answering the questions on the milestones. I want to take you back to the Olympic security issue. Of course in July when they indicated they could not fulfil the contract, that is quite a clear milestone. You mentioned before in the autumn of 2011 the jump from 3,000 odd to 10,000.
