  • Question and Answer Session: Refugees in London (Supplementary) [14]

    • Question by: Onkar Sahota
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2023
    Dr Onkar Sahota AM (Deputy Chair in the Chair): Thank you. I am now going to ask a question in my own right. It is to Hannah. Failure to access to healthcare is not only detrimental for the individual but it also has public health challenges for Londoners. We have heard access to healthcare come up a number of times in the proceedings this morning. Has the GLA been doing any work on helping refugees and asylum seekers access the NHS system? If yes, what has that work been?

  • Question and Answer Session: Refugees in London (Supplementary) [15]

    • Question by: Leonie Cooper
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2023
    Léonie Cooper AM: Thank you very much, Chair. I would like to start with a question to Deputy Mayor Tom Copley, if I may. Hi, Tom. Last year, the Mayor said as the Chair of the C40 Cities Group, “One of my priorities is taking urgent action to address the causes and devastating human cost of forced migration created by the climate emergency”. I wondered if you could outline what actions overall the Mayor has taken in London since then?

  • Question and Answer Session: Refugees in London (Supplementary) [16]

    • Question by: Zack Polanski
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2023
    Zack Polanski AM: Thank you very much, Chair. Good afternoon, panel. Enver, if I can begin with you, I have met recently also with the Joint Council for Welfare of Immigrants. I also went to a protest recently with Reclaim the Sea and spoke to lots of people with lived experience of the system. Something that came up over and over again that you have echoed today is the barrier of not speaking English. In fact, recent census data shows that 303,000 Londoners do not speak English well and 52,000 Londoners do not speak English at all. Page 32 You...

  • Question and Answer Session: Refugees in London (Supplementary) [17]

    • Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2023
    Lord Bailey of Paddington AM: Thank you, Chair. This is for Enver. Earlier on in the conversation, Enver, we talked about asylum seekers’ rights to work and the length of time and people wanted to have it shortened. You said for a length of time, but you did not give a length of time. What to you, would be workable, ideal, something around that region?

    • Reference: 2023/1010

    Can you update the Assembly on the priorities and challenges facing the London Fire Brigade?

  • Question and Answer Session: London Fire Commissioner and Deputy Mayor for Fire and Resilience (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Susan Hall
    • Meeting date: 09 February 2023
    Thank you. Morning, both. Deputy Mayor, there cannot be anybody around this table who was not horrified by the Cultural Review; some of us thought that it would be bad, but some of the things that were reported were absolutely disgraceful. Now, as normal, we ask for the Mayor to attend Plenary meetings because he is ultimately responsible politically. He always refuses, although he has told me once, “Just pick up the phone and I will attend meetings.” The reason he is not here today, he says, is because he has been summonsed by us on three occasions and therefore...

  • Climate adaptation and the London Fire Brigade (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Tony Devenish
    • Meeting date: 10 February 2022
    Tony Devenish AM: At the Regeneration Committee a couple of years ago we talked about estates strategy and, when we asked about the carbon footprint of the strategy, we were met by silence. I do remember the meeting very clearly. Would you say you are leading on carbon matters that have been mentioned by Assembly Member Polanski in terms of the estate and not the appliances of the LFB? To the Deputy Mayor, would you be up to a pilot of possibly merging an LAS and an LFB station and making it a zero-carbon best-in-practice project?

  • Improving Fire Safety Standards in the Built Environment (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Sakina Sheikh
    • Meeting date: 10 February 2022
    Sakina Sheikh AM: It has been really fantastic to hear your answers to the questions that have come before, Deputy Mayor and Commissioner. Anyone who has done their homework knows that Sadiq [Khan, Mayor of London] has been a fierce advocate for improving building safety in London, pushing developers in the right direction on this particular point. Commissioner, you said in your earlier comments that we need to see integrity, not profit, as a driver for the way that developers integrate building safety in their plans. You are absolutely spot on and that is exactly what the London Plan pushes...

  • London Fire Brigade and delivery for Londoners (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Peter Fortune
    • Meeting date: 10 February 2022
    Peter Fortune AM: Just to say I agree with my colleague about the corporate speak and holistic thought cascades and all that sort of stuff. It does not get us anywhere at all. More seriously and sadly, just reviewing some of the advice from the GTI, there was some pretty brutal advice given from Danny Friedman QC that talked about the Grenfell disaster and some of the response to the fire that was “extreme but foreseeable” and also criticises the service for having “no developed thinking at all”. I know you are a serious man who thinks about this deeply...
