• Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
• Meeting date: 08 September 2022

Shaun Bailey AM: Good morning, Michelle and Jules, I hope you are doing well. Great to see you again. Long time, no see. How do London’s enrolment and qualification rates compare to other AEBs across the country?

• Question by: Joanne McCartney
• Meeting date: 08 September 2022

Joanne McCartney AM: Thank you. My first question is to Jules. You mentioned earlier you had given a funding uplift to FE providers, which I know was very welcome, but in no way is it going to offset the rises in inflation, particularly in energy bills, for example. If further funding is not given by central Government, what are the possible outcomes that could mean for FE providers and students in the city?

• Meeting date: 08 September 2022

Dr Onkar Sahota AM: Deputy Mayor, the Mayor has called for devolution of the 16 to 18 education budget. Can you provide an update and whether you are asking for this delegation to be devolved further for 16 to 18‑year‑olds?

• Question by: Hina Bokhari OBE
• Meeting date: 08 September 2022

Hina Bokhari AM: Morning. I would like to start off with what value you have added to Londoners by using the Mayor’s delegated powers on adult education over the next year. What will you be adding, value‑wise?

• Question by: Marina Ahmad
• Meeting date: 08 September 2022

Marina Ahmad AM: Thank you, Chair. Good morning, panel, great to see you here. Deputy Mayor, as you know, we are now predicted, very sadly, to be going into a recession and the associated high unemployment that will come with that. Through the AEB, how is the GLA going to support Londoners through what is going to be a turbulent time?

• 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?

• Question by: Neil Garratt
• Meeting date: 08 September 2022

Neil Garratt AM: Good morning. Always a pleasure to hear from the Deputy Mayor and Michelle. My question, though, is: why is the Mayor not here?

• Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
• Meeting date: 06 October 2022

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Thank you very much indeed. I am going to ask my first question to the Deputy Mayor, given your contribution at the start, because section 1.4 of the original bid document promised these four great legacies: sport, community, environment and economy. I really want to try to focus on sport today. Let us look at the Olympic Stadium. The legacy for sport really centred around the Stadium itself. The bid document, if you look at it, promised conversion to a 25,000-seat multipurpose venue with athletics at its core. It will become a house of sport with...

• Question by: Sakina Sheikh
• Meeting date: 06 October 2022

Sakina Sheikh AM: Thank you, Chair. Good afternoon to the panel; it is great to have you join us here today to discuss the legacy of the London Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games. You are absolutely right, Jules [Pipe CBE], about needing to assess this on a regional, local, and national scale in terms of what we have achieved. But I am going to be zoning in to the local a little bit. I wanted to start with you, Lyn, about asking has the Olympic Park met the regeneration commitments for the host boroughs? Then I might move on...

• Meeting date: 09 June 2022

Nick Rogers AM: Mr Mayor, on page 98 of your Manifesto you promised to deliver a strategy for the suburbs. Could you please write to me outlining the progress you have made with that to date?
