• Meeting date: 05 September 2019

Len Duvall OBE AM: Thank you very much. Can we go back to the Moore Stephens report? Can you just remind us of the steps that you have taken briefly since they highlighted that your organisation was taking most of the risks around the Stadium, both in capital and in terms of operating cost?

Joanne McCartney AM: Thank you. I wonder if you could just briefly update me as to whether you are meeting your environment targets.

• Question by: Unmesh Desai
• Meeting date: 05 September 2019

Unmesh Desai AM: Good morning. If I could ask you, Ms Garner, a straightforward question. Is convergence still central to your long-term plans? Let me tell you why I ask you this question. As I said, it seems a straightforward, simple question. The last annual update of your performance measures and convergence targets that were reported were in your quarterly performance report in January to March 2016/17.

• Meeting date: 05 September 2019

Jennette Arnold OBE AM (Chair): Yes, thank you. Can I start my question to Sir Peter? It is going back to a Plenary Assembly meeting that we had on 2 November 2017. The issue was raised there about the timeline which you are working to in order to return the planning powers that you either see as being on loan or borrowed from the Olympic boroughs of Hackney, Waltham Forest, Newham and Tower Hamlets. I have met with local councillors representing wards in all of these boroughs and spoken to some senior representatives and a group of residents, and they...

Andrew Boff AM: How much would it cost to demolish the Stadium?

• Question by: Joanne McCartney
• Meeting date: 18 July 2019

Joanne McCartney AM: I have raised many times now the issue of devolution of the Great Northern Line out of Moorgate, which passes through my constituency in Haringey and Enfield. It was Chris Gibb in his report in June 2017 who suggested that that line should be transferred to TfL because it would reduce risk. The Government said further assessment was needed. In May last year [2018] Chris Grayling [MP, Secretary of State for Transport] stated that we will separate it ‑ the Thames Link and the Great Northern franchise ‑ and that we have not yet reached a decision...

• Question by: Andrew Dismore
• Meeting date: 18 July 2019

Andrew Dismore AM: Recent analysis has found that household incomes in the UK including for Londoners are around £1,500 a year lower than predicted before the EU referendum in 2016, the UK having experienced the sharpest income-growth slowdown of any economy for which the OECD publishes data. The Resolution Foundation has also shown how the UK has gone from one of the fastest growing economies to the slowest post-referendum. How damaging would the no-deal Brexit being advocated by both potential next Conservative Party Leaders and thus Prime Ministers be to those Londoners who have already seen rising costs without the...

• Question by: Tony Arbour
• Meeting date: 18 July 2019

Tony Arbour AM (Deputy Chairman): Can I ask you, Mr Mayor, if you realise how disappointed residents of west London have been by the fact that TfL and you have not acted strategically on this matter and have deferred to the interests of a single borough on this? The view that is taken is that TfL is a strategic body that acts in the interests of Londoners, particularly when more than one borough is involved. It is only today in your answer to Assembly Member Devenish that we have heard that it is your intention to see that the bridge...

• Question by: Leonie Cooper
• Meeting date: 18 July 2019

Léonie Cooper AM: Thank you very much, Chair. Yes, on priorities for London, in fact, I am just about to ask you about Brexit. In light of the comments this morning from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) saying that the country as a whole is going to be plunged into a crisis, do you think that you have made the right choice to continue the same level of budget as the previous Mayor [Boris Johnson] in terms of support for the film industry, which is world renowned, and also for the fashion industry, equally well renowned?

• Question by: Steve O'Connell
• Meeting date: 18 July 2019

Steve O’Connell AM: We have very limited time, Mr Mayor. I just want to add my support for the motion, which I seconded, and I look forward to your response. It would be right to hear your response around that. That is totally reasonable. Also, I would like to comment that this is still a very painful incident these years on and I welcome continued support for families and the community up at New Addington, which I know is agreed by all members of this Assembly. I want that on the record.
