Thank you for your answer to my question 2021/4418. You stated that the identification of vulnerable people only takes place during an incident. What consideration will you give to proactively identifying Londoners who could be vulnerable before incidents occur, and allowing people to register for early warnings or indicating that they are at higher risk so that they can be kept safe during future incidents?

New research suggests wood burning could be causing large portions of the cancer risk of urban air pollution due to high emissions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). What steps will you take to ensure that Londoners don’t move to more use of wood burners for economic reasons which then leads to a greater cost to public health?

London saw repeated challenges to drainage from surface water flooding in 2021. What assessment do you have of the need and relative prioritisation across the city for investment in forms of drainage that can make it more of a sponge city, such as Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS)?

In response to the recent hospitality support package announced by the Chancellor on 21 December 2021, you said that the package: “does not go nearly far enough towards providing the level of support our world-renowned retail, hospitality, nightlife and cultural sectors need.” What have you done since this announcement to lobby the Government to ensure that London’s industries, as well as freelancers and gig economy workers, are protected?
