  • Meeting date: 17 January 2019
The recent government white paper on immigration suggests that people working in jobs that earn less than £30,000 a year, such as nurses, carers etc, are no longer welcome in the UK.

  • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
  • Meeting date: 17 January 2019
In the Education Panel’s report, Together, on how better to support children and young people with SEND we noted how, given the continual pressure on local authority budgets, more children with SEND are expected to use public transport to go to school.

Cat deaths on the road

  • Reference: 2019/0275
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 17 January 2019

The campaigners from Cats Matter have received new data which shows there is still an inconsistent approach being taken by councils across London when dealing with cat deaths on the road.

Public London Charter

In response to a September 2017 London Assembly motion, you promised to develop London Plan policies to ensure public spaces are open and accessible for all with the minimum of rules, whether they are publicly or privately owned, as well as a Public London Charter setting out rights and responsibilities. Good new policies now appear in your draft London Plan, which also reference the Public London Charter.

  • Reference: 2019/0271
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 17 January 2019
Have you considered helping to rebuild public confidence in stop and search by having a policy similar to that adopted in 2015 by Northamptonshire police, where any officer found to have misused stop and search powers, even once, is prohibited from using this tactic?
