  • 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.

  • Racism and Sexism (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 10 December 2003
    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?

  • Private Infracos

    • Reference: 2003/0251
    • Question by: Noel Lynch
    • Meeting date: 11 June 2003
    What residual powers will be retained by LUL / TfL when the Underground stations are transferred by lease to the private infracos? In particular, will the private infracos be completely free (subject to planning controls) to develop station space above or around station sites commercially for maximum profit? .

  • Staffing (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 11 June 2003
    Just as Bob said the absence of graffiti on the network would give vital reassurance to people in terms of safety, do you not agree that the presence of staff on the stations provides the same sort of vital reassurance to people on safety issues? It is not only going to be psychological; it is also going to be practical. There will be practical benefits of tackling graffiti, safety, crime issues, or whatever and you do need a visible presence there. CCTV cameras in themselves will not be sufficient. You do need to maintain that staff presence.

  • Private Infracos (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Noel Lynch
    • Meeting date: 11 June 2003
    And if the public are totally against it?

  • Private Infracos (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Noel Lynch
    • Meeting date: 11 June 2003
    You are saying that the objective is to make more money, rather than to take into account any local impact on business in the area?

  • Private Infracos (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Noel Lynch
    • Meeting date: 11 June 2003
    I am bothered by Camden, where it is opposed by practically everybody including the Civic Society, the Architects' Forum, and all the residents and businesses there. We are just worried that we will see these types of corporate, soulless developments all over London, with the destruction of the local community.
