• Meeting date: 17 November 2022

Siân Berry AM: Thank you very much. My questions are also to the Mayor. You will recall, Mr Mayor, the election campaign of 2016, where from the very start, sitting on platforms with Assembly Member Pidgeon and yourself, I would not stop going on about the need for a London-wide ULEZ and smarter, fairer road charging. It is a huge relief to finally see an outbreak of widespread, political courage on this matter; I really appreciate it. For my question, I wanted to go back to what the Transport Committee asked in relation to promoting safety considerations as part of...

Nick Rogers AM: Thank you, Chair. Good afternoon, Mr Mayor; my questions are for you. I take issue with a couple of points that the Deputy Mayor made: he described this revision as a process point and a small addendum, where it is in fact neither of those things. What you are asking the Assembly to do today is to give our seal of approval to some very controversial policies that would have a negative financial impact on thousands of Londoners, and small businesses, across the city. I am sure everyone’s inboxes have been the same as mine, full of...

• 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.

• Question by: Onkar Sahota
• 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?
