  • Economic Recovery in London (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 23 July 2020
    Joanne McCartney AM: Yes, thank you, Chair. My initial question is to Sam Gurney, if I can, and it is about the increasing number of people who are claiming Universal Credit (UC), which we know is a very difficult and cruel system. Since the end of March, I believe, 440,000 new claimants for UC have come from London. When furlough ends, that is likely to see another spike. What concerns does the TUC have about this record number of Londoners finding themselves reliant on UC? What will that mean for poverty in the capital?

  • Supplementary [7]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 06 December 2018
    Joanne McCartney AM: My question is initially for the Deputy Mayor, but, please, Commissioner add to that. It is about the London Resilience Forum. It exists to co-ordinate different organisations across London, but we know that austerity and Government cuts have really impacted on those organisations. What has the impact of austerity been on your partners’ ability to deliver what may be needed in the event of a major incident?
