  • Question and Answer Session: Policing (Supplementary) [18]

    • Question by: Leonie Cooper
    • Meeting date: 01 December 2022
    Léonie Cooper AM: Thank you, Chair. I want to address some questions to the Commissioner. It sounds like a very simple question: the items that garner the news talk about ambulances stuck outside hospitals, with paramedics being detained there, unable to let people go into the hospital because the beds are full. However, we also know that the police are sometimes ending up at hospitals for lengthy periods and it does not catch the news quite to the same degree. My very simple question to you is: how much time are our police officers spending on non-policing activities?

  • Question and Answer Session: Legacy of the 2012 London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Leonie Cooper
    • Meeting date: 06 October 2022
    Léonie Cooper AM: Thank you very much, Chair. Sorry, I thought we were going to hear from the rest of the Conservatives before we moved over to anybody else. I would like to speak to Lyn Garner and I would also like to say to Assembly Member Garratt, who is not privy to these discussions, that the Mayor was not invited today. That is why he is not here. It has nothing to do with his diary being full or otherwise. It is sad that you do not know about these things from your Group leader, perhaps. Lyn, do you...

  • Question and Answer Session: Legacy of the 2012 London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (Supplementary) [14]

    • Question by: Zack Polanski
    • Meeting date: 06 October 2022
    Zack Polanski AM: Thank you. Lyn, if I can direct my questions to you, these are about culture and creativity. Hackney Wick and Fish Island were used as case studies, particularly in your Local Plan 2020-2036, highlighting them as a Creative Enterprise Zone. It strikes me that a lot of this was about redistributing existing space. What is being done to create new space, particularly for small creative artists?

  • Adult Education Budget (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Zack Polanski
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2022
    Zack Polanski AM: Thank you very much, Chair. We are in a climate crisis and we know that the solutions to the cost of living crisis, the energy crisis and the climate crisis are the same solutions. One of the biggest ones at the moment is that we need to insulate homes, so I want to ask you about your green jobs. Citizens UK has been in touch with me. In April 2021 it wrote to the Mayor to ask for an annual report on green jobs, particularly around insulating homes. Will we be getting those regular reports?

  • Adult Education Budget (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Leonie Cooper
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2022
    Léonie Cooper AM: Thank you very much, Chair. I want to come back to the issue about what percentage of the AEB - which I understand is £318 million in total - is being spent on supporting people into training for low-carbon, circular economy, climate-ready jobs. I am being very specific about what they are.

  • Adult Education Budget (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Zack Polanski
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2022
    Zack Polanski AM: Jules, as Deputy Mayor, I want to ask you a few questions about people seeking asylum. It is something you mentioned in your introductory remarks. First of all, just to applaud, really, that this is an important part of the work of the AEB. Now, I know that there has been a lot of focus on improving coordination of English for speakers of other languages (ESOL). Could I ask what other types of course that you are looking to do, or are doing, for people seeking asylum?
