Dr Alison Moore AM: Thank you very much, Chair. I think nobody who has been on this Assembly or a councillor would disagree with the fact that there is a real and clear need for genuinely affordable housing, particularly for families, although not only for families, in London. We are all very grateful that one of the first things you did as Mayor was to scrap that definition of affordable housing being 80% of the market rate, which [The Rt Hon] Boris Johnson [MP, Prime Minister] brought in when he was Mayor. If the Government changed its rules around affordable...

David Kurten AM: Good morning again, Mr Mayor. You said in that previous answer that you think the vaccines are safe. There are two things wrong with that statement, Mr Mayor. There are three vaccines - or what have been called vaccines - that are being used. Two of those are not vaccines in the sense that most people would understand vaccines. They are experimental mRNA gene technologies that have never been used before on human beings. We do not know anything about their long-term safety. How could you say that you know about the safety, particularly for pregnant women...

David Kurten AM: The question does follow on from some of the earlier points make about the judgment yesterday about the Streetspace scheme. It is disappointing that you are appealing that judgment.

We heard from the Chair and you earlier about admissions to hospitals with COVID being the highest since the start of the declared pandemic in March 2020. How do total hospital admissions now, this January, compare to last January and other winter seasons before this year?

Dr Alison Moore AM: Thank you very much, Chair. My first question is to Fiona Twycross, if I may, but before I ask that could I reiterate the thanks to all the guests and their colleagues for the work they are doing? Fiona, how will you ensure that Londoners living in poverty or on the verge of poverty are supported and receive the essentials during this second wave and the more infectious strain, particularly in light of the challenge around self-isolation during lockdown?

As you will be aware, the practice, known as ‘facility time’ is when an employee takes time off from their normal role to carry out duties and activities as a trade union representative. On 8 October 2020, LBC reported: ‘In Boris Johnson's last year as London’s Mayor, TfL spent £4.4m, or 0.23% of its total wage bill on facility time. That body’s latest accounts show that figure is now £8.7m, or 0.4% of the wage bill.’ 1 The entire Home Civil Service spends just £10m on facility time. So just over £1m more than TfL, in spite of the fact...
