  • Economic Recovery in London (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Unmesh Desai
    • Meeting date: 23 July 2020
    Unmesh Desai AM: Good afternoon, panel. My question is to John Dickie and it is about the future of our high streets. We have already had some references in the earlier discussion to small businesses and to high streets. Jordan Cummins talked about small businesses gasping for breath. Georgia Gould talked about high streets being at the heart of recovery plans. I could not agree more. Mr Dickie, with London boroughs focused on helping localised shopping areas, what is the future for our local high streets? How can they be put at the heart of our recovery plans?

    • Question by: Alison Moore
    • Meeting date: 23 July 2020
    Dr Alison Moore AM: Thank you, Chair. I would like to move on to the future of workspace. To John Dickie and Jace Tyrrell, is home-working here to stay? If so, what impact will this and a shift away from central London office spaces have on London’s economy? What does the Mayor need to do to support that central London economy?

  • Economic Recovery in London (Supplementary) [14]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 23 July 2020
    Murad Qureshi AM: Thank you, Chair. I want to move the debate to skills for the future now. Can I start by asking Jordon Cummins: will there be a greater demand for digital skills required in the post-COVID-19 economy and what types of skills will they be?

  • Economic Recovery in London (Supplementary) [15]

    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 23 July 2020
    Len Duvall AM: Thank you very much, Chair. The proof and the outcome of the work of the London Recovery Board is that by this autumn there should be some practical actions that make a real difference to try to minimise the economic downturn. In all the hours that I have just been listening through, no one seems to have mentioned that we already have a LEAP. I am not sure what the London Recovery Board adds to the work of that. Can you tell me: what is the difference in roles? Is there a risk of overlap and duplication...

  • Economic Recovery in London (Supplementary) [16]

    • Question by: Keith Prince
    • Meeting date: 23 July 2020
    Keith Prince AM: Thank you, Chair. Could I look to Philip Graham as the only representative of the GLA family, please? Would you agree with the point that Jace Tyrrell made when he was saying that there is not a very good comparison with London when you look at other major cities that are getting far more people on their public transport now than we are? Do you think that is possibly down to confidence on public transport? Could that reason possibly be because people do not feel safe on our transport system? I am constantly getting complaints from my...

  • Economic Recovery in London (Supplementary) [17]

    • Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
    • Meeting date: 23 July 2020
    Shaun Bailey AM: Thank you, Chair. I wanted to go back and cover this ground of additional support for particular groups. What does that look like for the recovery programme? Who gets to decide which groups we are going to support more and why? We talked a lot about the BAME community and the impact of COVID on my community, but also white working-class men have had very poor health outcomes from it. Who is identifying which groups are going to be supported and what is the criteria around that? This is to Councillor Georgia and maybe to Philip Graham...

  • Economic Recovery in London (Supplementary) [18]

    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 23 July 2020
    Andrew Boff AM: I wanted to have a word with Georgia Gould, who brought up the question of the impact of COVID-19 on housing. I wondered if Camden Council would be reviewing its housing policies in the light of the COVID-19 outbreak.

    What do you see as the greatest issues/challenges facing London?

  • Challenges Facing London (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Florence Eshalomi MP
    • Meeting date: 07 December 2016
    Florence Eshalomi AM: It is great to see you here as a London Member of Parliament (MP) for Croydon, not too far from my constituency in Lambeth and Southwark. One of the main issues that has been on your agenda and I am sure in your inbox as well has been the issue around Southern Rail. In the run-up to the mayoral election, quite a number of the candidates committed to looking at further rail devolution in London and it is right to say that it is something that has worked quite well with London Overground. Given that there is...

  • Challenges Facing London (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Tony Devenish
    • Meeting date: 07 December 2016
    Tony Devenish AM: Minister, thank you very much for the £3.15 billion. If we listened to the Mayor, we would think he had written the cheque rather than you, but we do appreciate the cheque that came from you. One of my concerns is the lack of actual detail we have had from the Mayor on how he is going to deliver the 90,000 affordable houses and the rest of his commitments. Are you looking for more detail from the Mayor in due course to make sure he delivers? You have given him the money. He now needs to get...
