  • Climate Change Action Plan and London's Buildings (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Given that the Assembly's Environment Committee investigation into the barriers that ordinary Londoners faced in terms of greening their homes showed that one of the biggest barriers that Londoners faced, even though they were enthusiastic about wanting to do something, was the lack of practical advice and information, does it not suggest that the comparatively low take-up we have seen so far suggests we need a more aggressive marketing campaign that reaches Londoners rather than less emphasis on marketing and getting the message out?

  • Climate Change Action Plan and London's Buildings (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Would you also agree that, rather than simply just expecting people to come to you for advice and information, we need to see more of what has been happening in Lewisham where council officers have been going directly to peoples' own homes on a door-to-door basis and offering that advice directly?

  • Role of Education, Training & Employment in Lifting People out of Poverty (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    Picking up on Kate (Green)'s point about more joined-up thinking on targets and so on, in linking with other strategies, in 2003 the GLA Consultation Tackling Poverty in London had a number of recommendations including the commitment to assess GLA policies and strategies for their contribution to poverty reduction and to produce an annual Poverty Monitoring Report on the success of GLA interventions. Can I ask John why these recommendations were not carried out?

  • Role of Education, Training & Employment in Lifting People out of Poverty (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    So, the Mayor has new powers now on skills, and we've just heard that he is going to be playing a leading role in that. Can I ask the rest of the panel how you see that making a difference in terms of tackling poverty?

  • Role of Education, Training & Employment in Lifting People out of Poverty (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    There's nothing wrong with leading questions, I think Kate (Green) very helpfully put it on the agenda; I am just exploring this line of inquiry.

  • Incinerators (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 13 November 2002
    Can I ask Nicky and Victor for their views as well on this?

  • Incinerators (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 13 November 2002
    You made a public statement, I think it was a month or so ago, saying that if you were Mayor you would take a more radical approach on waste and recycling than the current Mayor. If that's the case, what changes would you like to see made to the Waste Strategy to make it a more radical vision?
