The Crystal (1)

  • Reference: 2020/2429
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 16 July 2020
Remote working due to the pandemic, while necessary, has caused concern for some members of staff and had an impact on a much wider scale, including work/life balance. I understand that under the proposed move to The Crystal, remote working will continue to be expected from staff due to lack of office space. Has the devastating negative impact on some staff, who have already spent many months working in an unusual environment, been considered?

Support for Hospitality Sector and Workers

  • Reference: 2020/2428
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 16 July 2020
What measures are you taking to support businesses and workers in the hospitality industry who have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly with regards to concerns over a potential rise in unemployment and the large proportion of BAME workers who are at serious risk.

Learning Disability Nurses

  • Reference: 2020/2427
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 16 July 2020
Care Quality Commission (CQC) data has shown a 134 per cent rise in deaths among people with a learning disability this year. Harrow Mencap are campaigning for more learning disability nurses to be stationed in hospitals, as their insight and expertise can help save lives. Will the Mayor support this call?

Murders of Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman (2)

  • Reference: 2020/2426
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 16 July 2020
The mother of the two sisters, Mina Smallman, has raised other concerns about the police handling of this case. She states that the police failed to respond quickly enough when the two women went missing, leading to family and friends taking on the search themselves. She points towards a culture of institutional racism that remains in the police force. In light of this event and the stories we have seen come out of the Black Lives Matter movement, is it time for evaluation of institutional racism in the police?

Murders of Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman (1)

  • Reference: 2020/2425
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 16 July 2020
Two sisters, Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman were murdered in my constituency in early June. This tragic event was shocking enough to the local community, but now we have been horrified to hear that two police officers have been arrested for allegedly taking inappropriate photos at the scene. Will you join me in condemning these actions?

Alternatives to Hotel Accommodation for Rough Sleepers

  • Reference: 2020/2424
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 16 July 2020
A constituent has written to me to suggest that homeless people could be temporarily housed in moored cruise ships on the Thames as rough sleepers are being moved out of hotels. Could this be a viable option?

Support for London’s Homeless

  • Reference: 2020/2423
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 16 July 2020
A constituent, referring to a recent article in the Independent on 14 GLA hotels used for homeless people during the pandemic, has expressed concerns that the GLA is gradually stopping the use of these hotels. Can you provide details of how many hotels you are still using to place homeless people; how are you phasing such accommodation out, how many have had their contracts extended and for how long and what support is being offered to those people being asked to move out of these hostels?
