  • Rent control (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Sem Moema
    • Meeting date: 16 November 2023
    Sem Moema AM: Thank you, Chair, and good morning, Mayor Khan. I just wanted to speak to you about the underlying issues and the reason how we got to a point where you in the previous manifesto were calling for a London-specific rent control, which should be developed with tenants, landlords and also lenders, those people who are involved in the sector as a whole. But thinking about it more broadly, [evictions under] Section 21 [of the Housing Act 1988] being the number one driver of homeless in our capital city. Just yesterday, [the London Assembly Housing Committee] as part...

  • Housing Programmes (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Sem Moema
    • Meeting date: 12 October 2023
    Sem Moema AM: Thank you, Chair. We are talking about apples and oranges. Help to Buy, as everybody knows here, help precisely nobody on a housing waiting list. It was money for people to buy a house who clearly could not afford homes in London. It has made the affordability crisis in this capital a thousand times worse. The National Audit Office has repeatedly talked about how it was poor value for money. That money, which was spent giving taxpayer cash to people that already could afford to buy homes they could not afford, would have been better spent on...

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Sem Moema
    • Meeting date: 06 July 2023
    Sem Moema AM: Thank you, Chair, and good morning to you, Mayor Khan and Commissioner. My question is about TfL’s delivery of its 20,000 housing target. You have got a target for 20,000 homes by 2031, of which half - I am pleased to hear - will be affordable. However, on 13 June [2023] your Finance Officer said that “the focus is on bringing forward new schemes”, so taking things through planning. Given the challenges in the housing sector at the moment with interest rates, labour issues and maybe concerns that potential partners might have about their own financial position...

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [14]

    • Question by: Sakina Sheikh
    • Meeting date: 06 July 2023
    Sakina Sheikh AM: Thank you, Chair. Good morning to you, Mr Mayor and Commissioner; it is great to have you here with us. I think it is a well-known fact that all roads lead to Lewisham, Assembly Member Duvall’s patch. Unfortunately, all Tube lines do not lead to Lewisham. In fact, no Tube lines lead to Lewisham. I am so pleased for the laughter because I really worked on that one. We, as you know, are incredibly keen for the extension of the Bakerloo line that was promised and that case was made by Ifia Conteo , a really articulate...

  • Question & Answer Session: London's Long-Term Infrastructure Needs (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Sakina Sheikh
    • Meeting date: 08 June 2023
    Sakina Sheikh AM: Thank you, Chair. Good morning to the panel. Sir John Armitt, I am going to take us back to some of your opening comments around the wider strategic priorities and framework in terms of how we navigate decisions in London for infrastructure projects. To that end I wanted to ask, how should the GLA determine which infrastructure projects in London should be prioritised? Please feel free to draw on your opening remarks and build on them.

    • Question by: Sem Moema
    • Meeting date: 08 June 2023
    Sem Moema AM: Thank you, Chair, and good morning to all of you. I have a lot of questions for Sir John Armitt, but I want to use the full breadth of the expert panel today. So my question is for the Deputy Mayor, Seb Dance, and it is to ask you: what are the prospects of an expansion of Hall Farm Curve and train and tube connectivity to and from Chingford?

    • Question by: Sem Moema
    • Meeting date: 03 March 2022
    Sem Moema AM: My question also relates to skills gaps and supporting disabled Londoners. If I could direct my question to Luke, please. Could you tell us a little bit more about the improvements the Mayor has made to improving access to learning for Londoners with disabilities and low‑income Londoners, and how that is working post‑pandemic?

    • Meeting date: 03 March 2022

    • Question by: Sakina Sheikh
    • Meeting date: 11 November 2021
    Sakina Sheikh AM: It is great to have you here to be reflecting on what has been achieved by the corporations. Myself and my colleagues will be spending the next couple of hours drilling down into some of the details to ensure some of the fantastic things that you have outlined hold tight in their validity, which I am sure they do, but we welcome more detail.I wanted to open something slightly broader and talk about the transition in terms of planning powers. I would like you to outline in as much detail as possible how the LLDC will ensure...
