• Question by: Len Duvall OBE
• Meeting date: 08 June 2023

Len Duvall AM: My question is for [Dr] Stephen King, it concerns the London Infrastructure Framework. You have recently released a report that calls on London to develop a central infrastructure development and delivery centre of expertise. What role would the GLA play in that? What is your thinking?

• Question by: Susan Hall
• Meeting date: 04 March 2021

Susan Hall AM: You have mentioned quite a few times, Deputy Mayor, about high streets. How do you think high streets, especially in outer London, are going to be affected by the outer London tax commonly known, I think, as the Boundary Charge?

• Meeting date: 04 March 2021

Andrew Boff AM: This is a question to Jules Pipe. Who chairs the London Recovery Board?

• Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
• Meeting date: 04 March 2021

Shaun Bailey AM: Good morning, Jules. My first question is: why was a mission‑based approach selected?

• Question by: Len Duvall OBE
• Meeting date: 04 March 2021

Len Duvall AM: Jules, can I take you back to Joanne McCartney’s [AM] question around skills training and the ability to build capacity into various sectors? For instance, we know that one of the barriers to retraining or getting people back into the world of work is effective childcare. We also know across London there are gaps in the provision, whether it is childminding at one end, flexible care or even nursery provision. Of course, we could grow that sector if we wanted to because some of it has collapsed during the pandemic; some of those small businesses have gone...

• Question by: Onkar Sahota
• Meeting date: 04 March 2021

Dr Onkar Sahota AM: My question is for the Deputy Mayor, Jules Pipe. You talked earlier on about vaccine hesitancy and, of course, the vaccine is a way out of this pandemic, but it does depend upon many people taking it up. Unless many people take it up, unless we are all safe, none of us are safe. What work has the Recovery Board done to attack or to address vaccine hesitancy in London?

• Question by: Joanne McCartney
• Meeting date: 04 March 2021

Joanne McCartney AM: My first question is to Danny Thorpe, if I can. It is a general question. The pandemic has meant that many people have lost or are likely to lose their jobs in the forthcoming months. What retraining opportunities are you supporting for those people who are in that position?

• Question by: Nicky Gavron
• Meeting date: 04 March 2021

Nicky Gavron AM: I just wanted to come in with a couple of quick supplementary questions to follow what Assembly Member Cooper was saying. Can I ask you, Deputy Mayor Jules Pipe, to say a little bit more - and you have said quite a lot about skills - about the way you are going to deploy the AEB in relation to the Green New Deal and skills? It is going to be a very important tool.

• Question by: Leonie Cooper
• Meeting date: 04 March 2021

Léonie Cooper AM: I would like to address my questions to Jules Pipe, if I may. I wondered, Deputy Mayor, if you could update us a bit on what progress is being made by the GLA in conjunction with London Councils through the London Recovery Board on the Green New Deal recovery mission.

• 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...
