• Question by: David Kurten
• Meeting date: 05 July 2018

David Kurten AM: It was very good to hear your answers about Brexit earlier, the positivity you had about OPDC going forward and that as we approach Brexit day people are still wanting to invest in London. Obviously, you are concerned about skills. Michael, you half‑answered my question talking about how you are going to be partnering up with West London College and there will be 150 spaces there, but I would be very interested to hear any more details about the opportunities that you have to provide apprenticeships to British kids and kids from London who could gain the...

• Question by: Len Duvall OBE
• Meeting date: 05 July 2018

Len Duvall AM: Thank you very much. When you were last before us we talked about the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Department for Transport (DfT). Where are we, what progress have we made and how has it developed?

• Question by: Tom Copley
• Meeting date: 05 July 2018

Tom Copley AM: Going back to HIF, if you do get the £250 million I believe it has to be committed by March 2021. How quickly will you be able to move in order to commit that funding?

• Meeting date: 05 July 2018

Unmesh Desai AM: Can I ask you how you intend to go about attracting the necessary finance that you need to realise your ambitions for the regeneration of Old Oak? In particular, what concerns me is how you will address any associated financial risk?

• Question by: Leonie Cooper
• Meeting date: 05 July 2018

Leonie Cooper AM: Thank you very much, Chairman. My question is about the leadership, which I have asked about before. Does the OPDC have the right leadership in place to meet the challenges of the next five years?

• Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
• Meeting date: 05 July 2018

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Since we last met, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has said that 28% of London’s construction workers are from the European Union (EU). In light of this and given that the Deputy Mayor for Housing [and Residential Development] has said an additional 13,000 construction workers are needed in the capital, perhaps, Liz, as Chairman, you could advise me, do you think there are going to be problems in getting your project built?

• Question by: Fiona Twycross
• Meeting date: 21 June 2018

Fiona Twycross AM: Mr Mayor, in your research on period poverty in the capital, did you look at the pilot scheme run in Aberdeen that has successfully provided sanitary products to more than 1,000 women on low incomes and is being rolled out across Scotland? Would there be scope for a similar pilot in London?

• Question by: Joanne McCartney
• Meeting date: 21 June 2018

Joanne McCartney AM: Mr Mayor, I would like to ask you about the Great Northern franchise. It is something I have raised with you before because it runs through my constituency of Enfield and Haringey. Even before the timetable fiasco I was having regular complaints about cancelled and delayed trains. It is a line I use every day to get into work. I was very heartened last year when the Gibb Report said devolution to TfL should happen immediately. I am therefore disappointed they have not yet made that decision. In the statement to Parliament, [The Rt. Hon] Chris Grayling...

• Question by: Gareth Bacon MP
• Meeting date: 21 June 2018

Gareth Bacon AM: Mr Mayor, coming back on that last point from Assembly Member Cooper, I am sure you have read the response to the consultation cover to cover as I have. Therefore, you will be familiar with point 8.6.15 on page 91, which reads as follows, “Considering the benefits expected from the early implementation of the central London ULEZ in 2019 and the application of ULEZ standards to heavy vehicles London‑wide from 2020, it is likely that targeted local measures, such as local road closures, vehicle restrictions and other interventions, could be equally effective and are more likely to...
