• Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
• Meeting date: 17 November 2022

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Thank you very much. My questions are to you, Mr Mayor. Back in July 2017, I questioned you about your draft MTS; I asked why did it not contain proposals to change the congestion charge, or to bring in road pricing to tackle congestion, and why it did not go further. I said it does not really cover the next generation of road user charging systems, and asked whether we will see that in your final strategy. Then, in September 2017, I am sure you recall, the Transport Committee wrote to you, and encouraged you to...

• Meeting date: 17 November 2022

Joanne McCartney AM: Thank you. Mr Mayor, I think you have clearly set out the triple challenges that we are facing as a city, and you have highlighted that the inner London ULEZ has been extremely well delivered, with some drastic improvements made to air quality. However, many parts of outer London are not blessed with the same extensive public transport links that inner London is, and your MTS is about encouraging people out of cars and on to public transport, or more active travel. What will you seek to do in the forthcoming years to make sure that we...

Andrew Boff AM (Deputy Chair): Mayor Fiaz, [there have been] no new housing developments on the Carpenters Estate for ten years. Are you proud of that record?

• Question by: Emma Best
• Meeting date: 06 October 2022

Emma Best AM: Thank you, Chair. My colleague just briefly brought up the London Youth Games there and I wanted to quickly confirm, hopefully, from either Lyn or Jules whether, with young children being able to use the Olympic Stadium and facilities over the last ten years, that legacy will continue and they will continue to use those facilities over the next ten years and beyond.

• Meeting date: 06 October 2022

Dr Onkar Sahota AM: Hi. Thanks. My questions are about the grassroots participation in sports, but particularly I wanted to find out what the impact has been of the Olympics and/or subsequently on the participation of people with disabilities in sports. Have we done anything to improve their position and their participation in sports?

• Question by: Peter Fortune
• Meeting date: 06 October 2022

Peter Fortune AM: Thank you very much. This is for Lyn and Sir Peter. I have the quarter one (Q1) performance and finance pack in front of me. Highlighted on the risk register is the decision around His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and the corporation tax. Can you give us a quick update about that and about whether or not that application has been approved? Also, around treasury management, where are you at the moment with borrowing? Have there been any conversations with the GLA about rate fluctuations for payments back? Maybe give me a headline and we can...

• 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?

• Question by: Joanne McCartney
• Meeting date: 06 October 2022

Joanne McCartney AM: Thank you. Dave has very nicely given me a bridge into my question. I am going to ask probably Lyn. Do you think the Olympics has delivered the cultural legacy that we expected?

• Question by: Sem Moema
• Meeting date: 06 October 2022

Sem Moema AM: Thank you, Chair. Before I ask my quick question, I want to welcome Dave. Thank you for travelling all this way and I hope you get a question, but sadly my question is for Jules and Lyn. I am sorry. My question is very similar to Assembly Member Berry’s about GRT provision, but just to say that Bartrip Street was a TfL-Hackney partnership rather than the GLA’s. Perhaps you may not have been involved with that. I have been in discussion with Tom Copley [Deputy Mayor for Housing and Residential Development] about supporting the reprovision of that...

• Question by: Anne Clarke
• Meeting date: 06 October 2022

Anne Clarke AM: Thank you, Chair. Good afternoon, everyone. Jules, you have talked a lot about housing delivery, and I want to come back to that. Since this project has started, the world has changed significantly and for many reasons. I am just wondering what impact factors such as COVID and Brexit have had, and also this emerging economic storm, on the ability to deliver housing.
