Chair of the London Assembly, Navin Shah AM said:
“In this new Assembly year, like every organisation, the London Assembly's main focus will be on London’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 has taken over our society, impacted on our lives and changed our city so much so that it’s almost unrecognisable.
“Now, more than ever before, the Assembly needs to be there for Londoners by asking the questions they want the answers to. The Mayor has a vital role to play in helping London sail through this storm and the Assembly will ensure to hold him to account as difficult decisions are made. As London finds its way through this tough period, we will shape this great city of ours, which has learned how to care, support and help each other during this difficult time.
"Looking forward, the London Assembly will continue to be focused on our key roles of holding the Mayor to account and investigating issues that matter to Londoners. And as always, we will ensure that the concerns of Londoners are heard loud and clear, which is of particular importance as we enter the next phase of the COVID-19 pandemic response.”
