Small business tenants of Transport for London (TfL) who have been affected by the Grenfell disaster have told me they were disappointed to discover that rent relief offered by TfL in the wake of the disaster was much lower than other business landlords in the vicinity. In future will TfL consider greater levels of rent relief that match other landlords in the vicinity when small businesses are affected by adverse events?

Small business tenants of Transport for London (TfL) who have been affected by the Grenfell disaster have told me that it would be helpful if TfL had suspended rent reviews and offered monthly rent collection instead of quarterly. Will TfL review the quality of assistance offered to small businesses affected by adverse events?

The Prime Minister declined to meet Greta Thunberg, saying: “I often hear young people tell of the importance of climate change.” She also added: “This government has a fine record on climate change.” However, the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) updated energy and emissions projection report, published in April 2019, showed the UK is now set to miss its 2025 and 2030 emission targets by an even larger margin than before, stating: “Many policies which will affect the 2020s and beyond have not yet been developed to the point at which they can be included in these...

In January 2019, I raised concerns about the length of time the Brixton Road air pollution monitor had been broken (question 2019/0251). This highly polluted road is one of the first sites that is likely to breach London’s annual nitrogen dioxide (NO 2) limits each year.

On the evidence that you have, would it have breached its annual NO 2 limits if the monitor had been working from the beginning of the year?

The 2015 London Assembly Environment Committee report, Bring me sunshine, how London’s homes could generate more solar energy, recommended an amendment to the London Plan to reflect planning changes that make it easier to permit solar photovoltaics (PV) in conservation areas. Why is this not reflected in your draft London Plan?
