• Meeting date: 08 March 2017

Tom Copley AM: Thank you. I found a bit of time. I want to come back to the Land Value Tax question. Perhaps Doug could give the answer he was going to give me earlier on. Would it be beneficial in terms of raising finance for the project and, also, would it accelerate the delivery of new homes?

Nicky Gavron AM: Victoria, you have given us quite a lot of context with this exchange. I want to go on talking about the industrial site. Park Royal is probably the largest strategic industrial location in the whole of Europe and it is definitely the industrial engine of the London economy and therefore a huge contributor to the UK economy. Everything you are saying about protecting it - and I really welcome what you were saying about the article 4 direction - and strengthening it is really important. You have talked about relocating some of the industries from Old Oak...

• Meeting date: 08 March 2017

Tony Devenish AM: Going back to Assembly Member Boff’s question, has the new chair indicated to you that the overall financial envelope - and we can argue over the amount and the contingency but let us not - may need to increase to facilitate the step-change required mentioned in the point that particularly Dr Sahota [AM] and Assembly Member Pidgeon made on the NHS in the early years, for example?

• Question by: Len Duvall OBE
• Meeting date: 08 March 2017

Len Duvall AM: Is part of that more sustainable funding around the MoU with the DfT? When are we going to resolve the land issues there with the DfT and also plug the gap in the infrastructure funding? Is that not key? What is the timescale? Who is leading the negotiations? I need very quick and concise answers on those.

Leonie Cooper AM: Thank you, Chairman. Mine is about the exemplar development in terms of the environmental ambitions, and so perhaps Victoria would like to start.

• Question by: Andrew Dismore
• Meeting date: 08 March 2017

Andrew Dismore AM: Thank you, Chairman. Could I ask David [Bellamy] and Fiona [Fletcher-Smith]? May I explore with you the pros and cons of HS2 terminating temporarily at Old Oak Common? In July last year [2016] the Mayor said, quote: “I have been clear that I would like to understand whether HS2 could terminate at Old Oak on a temporary basis to minimise disruption and allow for a better overall solution for Euston Station. This is something that I am discussing with Transport for London.” Could you confirm what the results of that discussion were and whether Old Oak Common...

• Meeting date: 08 March 2017

Tony Devenish AM: We all know that this is the largest regeneration project in Western Europe, a new town for London, a railway station almost the size of Waterloo. Do you think we are missing the vision thing?

• Question by: Onkar Sahota
