• 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?

• 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...

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?

That is very welcome. I think Sir John quite rightly said how important it is that victims continue to receive support. What are we doing to ensure that victims are kept informed of the progress of their case? Hopefully there is a lot of support usually at the beginning and shortly after the incident. It takes quite a long time to go through to judicial disposal. What attention is paid to keeping these victims informed?

Given that those responsible for racist and sexist behaviour in the force have often been responsible for homophobic behaviour as well, can you outline how homophobia is tackled as part of the programme of initiatives that Toby outlined?

The closure of the extremely busy Central Line for the best part of three months, though highly inconvenient, showed that London does not have to come to a halt if a key line is closed down. Do you now believe that TfL could get very much better value for money out of the PPP contracts if work to upgrade the Tube system (track, signalling, stations) were concentrated into periods where lines or sections of line were closed entirely, rather than being restricted to 12.30am 5.30am with all the inefficiencies of stop-start-stop that this entails? .
