• Meeting date: 08 June 2023

Léonie Cooper AM: Thanks very much. I wanted to ask Sir John Armitt a question and, if we could be brief, that would be really helpful. It is nothing to do with fluffy projects. By the way, I will just reveal that Assembly Member Devenish recently acquired a dog, which is why he is slightly obsessed with fluffy projects at the moment. Keith Prince AM: Nice segue. Léonie Cooper AM: I wanted to ask you if you actually think overall whether or not sufficient attention is paid to the journey towards net zero in all of our assessment of infrastructure...

Léonie Cooper AM: Thank you very much, Chair. I would like to start with [Sir] John Armitt and go to John Kavanagh, if I may. In your 2016 report, Transport for a World City , it said, “Crossrail 2 should be taken forward as a priority”. You have reiterated that call since.

Shaun Bailey AM: Thank you, Chair. I wanted to go back and cover this ground of additional support for particular groups. What does that look like for the recovery programme? Who gets to decide which groups we are going to support more and why? We talked a lot about the BAME community and the impact of COVID on my community, but also white working-class men have had very poor health outcomes from it. Who is identifying which groups are going to be supported and what is the criteria around that? This is to Councillor Georgia and maybe to Philip Graham...
