• Question by: Peter Whittle
• Meeting date: 19 March 2020

Peter Whittle AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. Thank you very much for your statement. I am sure that we all support all your efforts in the coming months. I am sure that you also would appreciate that many Londoners are trying to work their way through all the detail and the information they are getting and that one thing that might, if they are listening today, have struck them is when you mentioned this period of 12 weeks when you were talking about what we should and maybe should not do. Could you just explain a little about that and...

• Meeting date: 19 March 2020

Dr Onkar Sahota AM: Thank you. Mr Mayor, thank you very much for your leadership in dealing with this crisis across London. I also want to thank the Deputy Mayor [for Fire and Resilience], Dr Twycross AM, for all the hard work she has done to make sure London is resilient and able to cope with this. Dr Fiona Twycross AM (Deputy Chair, GLA Strategic Co-ordination Group - COVID-19): Thank you. Dr Onkar Sahota AM: I also want to thank the frontline nurses and doctors, the public health staff, the cleaners and the porters in the hospitals, all those people...

• Meeting date: 16 July 2020

Léonie Cooper AM: Thank you very much, Chair. Mr Mayor, we know that you have been calling on the Government for public health interventions from very early on in this pandemic whilst the Government has been frankly playing catch-up with you. Now that the focus has moved on to preparing for the resulting economic downfall - and everything we hear tells us exactly how bad that is going to be - do you feel that the Government’s mini budget last week went far enough in supporting London’s economy following lockdown as we start to open up? Is it enough to...

• Question by: Onkar Sahota
• Meeting date: 16 July 2020

Dr Onkar Sahota AM: Mr Mayor, first of all I want to echo the thanks you gave to all the frontline people who work hard for us. Of course, as London, we were in the hands of the Government also and the Government educated the whole of the country on the reproduction (R) number and the COVID-19 curve, but what it did not mention was the curve for preparedness. This Government was behind the curve in declaring a national emergency. It was behind the curve in the lockdown. It was behind the curve in getting nursing homes already. It was...

• Question by: Andrew Boff
• Meeting date: 16 July 2020

Andrew Boff AM: Mr Mayor, in 2016 you committed to starting 10,000 homes on TfL land by May 2020. How many have you started?

• Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
• Meeting date: 16 July 2020

Shaun Bailey AM: Thank you, Chair. Firstly, can I commend Assembly Member Duvall for his tenacious pursuit around this domestic violence piece and serial offenders. It is really important and I want to congratulate him and encourage him to keep going. Mr Mayor, to pick up on the points, what work is City Hall doing and what work is your office doing around helping the police do more focused work in recovering from this outbreak of COVID-19? I speak to many people in the community who are absolutely worried about outbreaks in gang crime and individuals making threats across the...

• Question by: Susan Hall
• Meeting date: 02 July 2020

Susan Hall AM: Thank you, Chair. This is to Mary [Harpley]. I am sorry if the precise figure was mentioned earlier but I did not catch it if it was. Niran [Mothada] specifically referred to the commitment to the Green New Deal. If I recall, the Mayor put aside or committed £50 million to it at the last minute in the budget in February. Can you confirm what level of funding you are looking at for this at the moment given our uncertain finances, please?

• Question by: Siân Berry
• Meeting date: 02 July 2020

Siân Berry AM: I want to ask David Bellamy a follow-up on a written question that I put to the Mayor in May when I asked about emergency decision-making during the crisis. In answer to that question, which was question 1473, he told me that the decision to suspend the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), Congestion Charge and Low Emission Zone was an urgent TfL decision taken by TfL’s Commissioner, but this contradicts the press release the Mayor sent out, which said that he had instructed TfL to do this. The issue I want to raise here is about documenting...

• Question by: Keith Prince
• Meeting date: 02 July 2020

Keith Prince AM: Thank you, Chair. May I add my thanks to all the members of the panel for all the work that they are doing across London and helping Londoners. My question is for Mr Bellamy. I am sure you are aware, Mr Bellamy, that across London there are around 5,000 people being put up in the hotels by different partners at the moment, many hundreds of whom are rough sleepers. Will you work with me and a number of other organisations that I am working with across London to provide the accommodation and support services needed for those...

• Question by: Nicky Gavron
• Meeting date: 02 July 2020

Nicky Gavron AM: Thank you very much, Chair. I want to add my thanks to the team and the panel in front of us for all the work you are doing. My question is to Niran Mothada. To ensure that we have a real green economic recovery and a just transition, will you be building into the social recovery working group and the economic recovery working group green thinking at the very heart of all the work that it has been doing and is going to do? Also, can you tell me how you are going to translate the principles...
