    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE

    A new report from the Department for Education shows that learning losses in schools that have many pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds were around 50% higher than those schools with very few pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds.

  • Question and Answer Session: COVID-19 Recovery - The Next Steps for London (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Peter Whittle
    • Meeting date: 04 March 2021
    Peter Whittle AM: Good morning, Chair. Good morning to the guests. For my question, could I start by asking Matthew about small businesses? It might be most pertinent. It is a question I asked of the Mayor quite recently. What will you do to encourage people to return to their places of work as much as possible? When we are talking about the economic microsystems and ecosystems of the city, it is people not being in offices and so on that basically will cause - and indeed has caused - the system to collapse completely. The point has to be...

  • Question and Answer Session: COVID-19 Recovery - The Next Steps for London (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Peter Whittle
    • Meeting date: 04 March 2021
    Peter Whittle AM: Deputy Mayor, good morning. I noticed that in your reply to one of the Assembly Members you had a good old go at Brexit and the problems faced by musicians. Isn’t wonderful, though, that because we are no longer in the EU, we have had a fantastic rollout of vaccines, 20 million, which includes all of those creative people and includes all of those musicians? Is that not wonderful? Presumably, you are quite happy that we are not in one of those European countries where it has been so lamentable and appalling. Yes or no.

  • Question and Answer Session: COVID-19 Recovery - The Next Steps for London (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 04 March 2021
    Jennette Arnold OBE AM: The idea of Assembly Member Qureshi being at the pulse of London is so amazing. We are so thrilled to have him among us. My question is for Councillor Danny Thorpe. It is about the need for a robust safety net for possibly millions of Londoners who are desperate to avoid being trapped in poverty and can see little support coming their way to relieve their hardship. You spoke earlier about a new generation in poverty, and I wondered if you could give us a couple of examples of how the missions of the Recovery Board...

  • Bus shelter at the "Southgate Road" stop on Balls Pond

    • Reference: 2021/0782
    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 25 February 2021
    The bus shelter at the "Southgate Road" stop on Balls Pond Road has been replaced and the new one does not have Countdown. Now that buses to Highbury Corner are 15 minutes apart it is all the more necessary to know if you have just missed one! Could the Mayor confirm when a Countdown will be installed?

  • Policing in supermarkets

    • Reference: 2021/0783
    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 25 February 2021
    Can you tell me how many times Met Police Officers have been called to supermarkets to respond to COVID-19 rule breaking in 1) London Borough of Hackney and 2) London Borough of Islington and 3) London Borough of Waltham Forest?

  • Impact of school closures

    • Reference: 2021/0784
    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 25 February 2021
    In October, the Education Panel recommended that you should inform the Education Panel about ongoing or planned data collection to understand the effect of the COVID-19 school closures on education inequality in London, including the collection of ethnicity data. In your response, you stated that “My team will analyse DfE statistical publications and present London-level comparisons of specific groups. This analysis includes a range of characteristics, including differences in attainment and progress by ethnicity, free school meal eligibility and special educational need status”. What has your monitoring and analysis of this data revealed about the effect of COVID-19 school closures...

  • School signage

    • Reference: 2021/0785
    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 25 February 2021
    Concerns have been raised with me about road safety around Hackney New Primary School in my constituency. I understand that the signage on Kingsland Road (cornered Downham Road) is very unclear and does not alert drivers to the fact there is a local primary school and will be children crossing. Can you assure me TfL will be amending this?
