• 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?

• Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
• Meeting date: 02 July 2020

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...

• Meeting date: 02 July 2020

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?

Will you change your masterplan to ensure that the Olympic Park meets the 'Go Dutch' standards for cycling?

• Question by: Richard Tracey
• Meeting date: 14 November 2012

Richard Tracey (AM): Boris, you have heard the discussion in John Biggs' question about the Stadium and indeed Dennis Hone told us at the Budget and Performance Committee that he believed it would be 2015 or 2016 before the Stadium could reopen. Can I ask you as the Chairman of the LLDC as well as the Mayor, will you set an objective of opening it before that point? I quite agree with John Biggs and the point has been made elsewhere. It would be a bit shameful if we could not reopen it before Rio has completely finished its Olympics.

John Biggs (AM): A very simple question to start which is, in answering Caroline Pidgeon's question, do you have enough money to deliver your promises concerning the physical legacy of the Olympic Park?

• Meeting date: 14 November 2012

Tom Copley (AM): Good morning, Mr Mayor. Boris Johnson (Chairman, LLDC): Good morning. Tom Copley (AM): I wanted to ask you a couple of questions about community land trusts. I believe that in 2005 thousands of homes were promised to the people of east London as part of community land trusts. I would like to ask you first of all what progress is being made on delivering those promised homes?
