  • Economic Recovery in London (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 23 July 2020
    Joanne McCartney AM: Yes, thank you, Chair. My initial question is to Sam Gurney, if I can, and it is about the increasing number of people who are claiming Universal Credit (UC), which we know is a very difficult and cruel system. Since the end of March, I believe, 440,000 new claimants for UC have come from London. When furlough ends, that is likely to see another spike. What concerns does the TUC have about this record number of Londoners finding themselves reliant on UC? What will that mean for poverty in the capital?
  • London's transport policies (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 05 March 2020
    Joanne McCartney AM: I will start with the Mayor. It is about train devolution. You met with the Secretary of State [for Transport] last August [2019] and things went well, but I am just wondering what discussions have been had since then about devolving some of those other suburban rail lines to TfL?
