  • Question and Answer Session: COVID-19 Recovery - The Next Steps for London (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 04 March 2021
    Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: My first question is for the Deputy Mayor for Culture. London has over 200 museums and 850 galleries and hosts three of the world’s top 10 galleries and museums. This rich offering is a huge draw to London for tourists from both here in the UK and abroad. I was concerned that the Government’s roadmap has museums and galleries in tier 3, meaning they will not be able to open until 17 May [2021] at the earliest. This is because they are being considered as indoor entertainment venues despite having more in common with public buildings...

  • Question and Answer Session: COVID-19 Recovery - The Next Steps for London (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Alison Moore
    • Meeting date: 04 March 2021
    Dr Alison Moore AM: I would like to move on to transport in London’s recovery. My first question is for Matthew Jaffa. How will the lifting of restrictions and subsequent economy recovery impact on transport in London and vice versa?

  • Question and Answer Session: COVID-19 Recovery - The Next Steps for London (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Peter Whittle
    • Meeting date: 04 March 2021
    Peter Whittle AM: Deputy Mayor, good morning. I noticed that in your reply to one of the Assembly Members you had a good old go at Brexit and the problems faced by musicians. Isn’t wonderful, though, that because we are no longer in the EU, we have had a fantastic rollout of vaccines, 20 million, which includes all of those creative people and includes all of those musicians? Is that not wonderful? Presumably, you are quite happy that we are not in one of those European countries where it has been so lamentable and appalling. Yes or no.

  • Question and Answer Session: COVID-19 Recovery - The Next Steps for London (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 04 March 2021
    Murad Qureshi AM: Thank you, Chair. Can I address my question on the future of the CAZ to Jules Pipe? Jules, what work has been carried out so far exploring the potential policy solutions to help the centre of London and businesses affected?

  • Question and Answer Session: COVID-19 Recovery - The Next Steps for London (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 04 March 2021
    Jennette Arnold OBE AM: The idea of Assembly Member Qureshi being at the pulse of London is so amazing. We are so thrilled to have him among us. My question is for Councillor Danny Thorpe. It is about the need for a robust safety net for possibly millions of Londoners who are desperate to avoid being trapped in poverty and can see little support coming their way to relieve their hardship. You spoke earlier about a new generation in poverty, and I wondered if you could give us a couple of examples of how the missions of the Recovery Board...

  • Question and Answer Session: COVID-19 Recovery - The Next Steps for London (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Leonie Cooper
    • Meeting date: 04 March 2021
    Léonie Cooper AM: I would like to address my questions to Jules Pipe, if I may. I wondered, Deputy Mayor, if you could update us a bit on what progress is being made by the GLA in conjunction with London Councils through the London Recovery Board on the Green New Deal recovery mission.

  • Question and Answer Session: COVID-19 Recovery - The Next Steps for London (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Nicky Gavron
    • Meeting date: 04 March 2021
    Nicky Gavron AM: I just wanted to come in with a couple of quick supplementary questions to follow what Assembly Member Cooper was saying. Can I ask you, Deputy Mayor Jules Pipe, to say a little bit more - and you have said quite a lot about skills - about the way you are going to deploy the AEB in relation to the Green New Deal and skills? It is going to be a very important tool.

  • Question and Answer Session: COVID-19 Recovery - The Next Steps for London (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 04 March 2021
    Joanne McCartney AM: My first question is to Danny Thorpe, if I can. It is a general question. The pandemic has meant that many people have lost or are likely to lose their jobs in the forthcoming months. What retraining opportunities are you supporting for those people who are in that position?

  • Question and Answer Session: COVID-19 Recovery - The Next Steps for London (Supplementary) [13]

    • Question by: Onkar Sahota
    • Meeting date: 04 March 2021
    Dr Onkar Sahota AM: My question is for the Deputy Mayor, Jules Pipe. You talked earlier on about vaccine hesitancy and, of course, the vaccine is a way out of this pandemic, but it does depend upon many people taking it up. Unless many people take it up, unless we are all safe, none of us are safe. What work has the Recovery Board done to attack or to address vaccine hesitancy in London?

  • Question and Answer Session: COVID-19 Recovery - The Next Steps for London (Supplementary) [14]

    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 04 March 2021
    Len Duvall AM: Jules, can I take you back to Joanne McCartney’s [AM] question around skills training and the ability to build capacity into various sectors? For instance, we know that one of the barriers to retraining or getting people back into the world of work is effective childcare. We also know across London there are gaps in the provision, whether it is childminding at one end, flexible care or even nursery provision. Of course, we could grow that sector if we wanted to because some of it has collapsed during the pandemic; some of those small businesses have gone...
