  • Transport Infrastructure in Outer London (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Nick Rogers
    • Meeting date: 18 January 2024
    Nick Rogers AM: Thank you, Chair. Just briefly, Mr Mayor, you mentioned the phrase “step-free desert”, which is one I have used before in relation to Chiswick, a key area of London served by the Piccadilly line and the District line, but none of the stations there have step-free access. Just a quick plea, if you could ask your team to go and look at what they can do at those stations. I know that they are difficult stations, there is no easy solution to step-free access there, but an entire area of London is without step-free access, therefore could...

  • Health Impact of the Cost of Living Crisis (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 12 October 2023
    Emma Best AM: Thank you. Like many, I have been devastated this party conference season to see on show the growing transphobic rhetoric in all parties [represented] within this Assembly. I clearly acknowledge with sadness that the crescendo of that lies with my own party due to the seniority with which those comments come. LGBT and particularly trans Londoners are some of the most vulnerable in London. It is not just the cost of living but the political landscape which is having a long-term effect on mental health. Firstly, can I give a rare and genuine thank you for your...

  • Question and Answer Session: Refugees in London (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Nick Rogers
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2023
    Nick Rogers AM: Thank you, Chair. Good morning, panel. I have some questions around English language skills, so I imagine they will probably sit best with Tunde Olayinka. Through the Adult Education Budget (AEB), the GLA funds English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) provision for around 40,000 people in London at a cost of approximately £40 million. Do you know how many refugees are amongst that 40,000?

  • Question and Answer Session: Refugees in London (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2023
    Emma Best AM: I think so. Thanks, Chair. Yes, I was just trying to work out Deputy Mayor [Tom] Copley’s political neutrality, which seemed a lot stronger when he was talking to Assembly Member [Tony] Devenish than Assembly Member [Unmesh] Desai.

  • Overcrowding (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 18 May 2023
    Emma Best AM: Thank you, Chair. Just quickly, Mr Mayor. 18% of the affordable housing starts last year [2022] were family homes - only 18% - and, clearly, that is not going to meet the need to support overcrowded homes. Will you look urgently into making sure that that percentage increases when we look at these stats next year [2024]?

  • Question and Answer Session: Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2023
    Emma Best AM: Thank you, Chair, and good morning, both. Liz, we were just hearing from [Lord] Peter Hendy [CBE] then that Mayoral Development Corporations (MDCs) “get things done”. According to the [Sir Bob] Kerslake Review [ of GLA Group Housing Delivery ], the OPDC “has not delivered any housing directly”. Is this something that you think is now a position that has changed and you feel more confident about delivery?

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Nick Rogers
    • Meeting date: 09 June 2022
    Nick Rogers AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. Good morning, Commissioner. You talked about the Elizabeth line, and it is an absolutely fantastic piece of British engineering. I have really enjoyed travelling on it. It will make a huge difference, not just to London, but to the southeast and beyond. While we are all extremely happy that it is open, we cannot ignore the sometimes tortured journey that it took to get to that point. Do we have a clear picture, Mr Mayor, of the financial impact overall in terms of lost revenue and additional capital spending of the delay to...

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [18]

    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 09 June 2022
    Emma Best AM: In 2017, TfL modelling suggested that 135,000 vehicles per day would use the expanded ULEZ and that was the justification for spending £130 million on the expansion. Fast-forward to today - or to November [2021] when we had the last stock of that - and you have 50,000 chargeable vehicles travelling within the expanded zone. That is a little over a third of where the estimated figure came in the forecast. Now, looking ahead to the London-wide expansion, TfL estimates that 87% of vehicles travelling within that zone will be compliant, leaving 13% that are not. There...

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [24]

    • Question by: Nick Rogers
    • Meeting date: 09 June 2022
    Nick Rogers AM: Mr Mayor, on page 98 of your Manifesto you promised to deliver a strategy for the suburbs. Could you please write to me outlining the progress you have made with that to date?
