  • Reference: 2016/4016
  • Question by: Fiona Twycross
  • Meeting date: 19 October 2016
Do you support the Children's Society's 'Seriously Awkward' campaign and its call for consistency when the MPS assesses 16 and 17 year olds in custody, so they are classed as either children or adults?

Sourced Campaign

  • Reference: 2016/4015
  • Question by: Fiona Twycross
  • Meeting date: 19 October 2016
A constituent has asked whether you would consider signing up to the Christian Aid 'sourced' campaign for the GLA and its functional bodies which calls for the procurement process to include asking bidders to answer tax compliance questions. Will you commit to looking into this?

School Places

A total of 110,364 new school places will be needed in London between 2016/17 and 2021/22 to meet forecast demand, consisting of 62,935 primary places and 47,430 secondary places. How will London meet this demand?

Early Years Funding

  • Reference: 2016/4013
  • Question by: Fiona Twycross
  • Meeting date: 19 October 2016
Government's reform to Early Years Funding could lead to nine London Boroughs seeing a drop in their hourly funding rate per child due to the varying costs across London. Will you call on the Government to ensure that no London Boroughs see a drop in their funding rate?

Graduate employment

  • Reference: 2016/4012
  • Question by: Fiona Twycross
  • Meeting date: 19 October 2016
How many graduates in London are currently i) unemployed, ii) under-employed and iii) employed? Can you also provide this data by year since 2008?

Zero-hours contracts

  • Question by: Fiona Twycross
  • Meeting date: 19 October 2016

Can you outline how the GLA will raise awareness of the London Living Wage during Living Wage Week from 31st October to 5th November?

Black History Month

  • Reference: 2016/4009
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 19 October 2016
In the climate of cuts, black history month events are severely restricted across London. Is this something you can look into as part of your culture strategy and plan so that there is positive impact locally in boroughs in a way black history month can be celebrated in all parts of London?

Wembley Park Station

  • Reference: 2016/4008
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 19 October 2016
East London stations such as Stratford, Bromley-by-Bow and West Ham have moved into Zone 2 / 3 in the last few months. I welcome this and ask the Mayor to move Wembley Park station from the current zone 4 to 3. There is a strong case for this as the station is a prideful choice of commuters to Wembley Stadium and the Arena and is the first station on the Jubilee Line to be in zone 4 and the first one on the Metropolitan Line. I'd also like to point out that the Met Line has no stops between Finchley...

CIL & Neighbourhood Planning

  • Reference: 2016/4007
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 19 October 2016
Do you agree with the conclusions of a new report published by Neighbourhood Planners? There are signs of frustrations among the community with the Boroughs as neighbourhood planning matures. The report's conclusions include a comment that the 15% Neighbourhood element of CIL has impacted only a minority of London Boroughs. Do you agree with the suggestions made in the report as a way forward? What measures can be put in place to effectively promote the scope of neighbourhood planning and CIL?
