The Chair opened the meeting by pointing out that it was to be the last meeting of Leaders’ Committee before the borough elections in May and for some it would be their final meeting as a member of Leaders’ Committee. Two members had indicated that they did not intend to stand again, Cllr Chris Roberts, a member of London Councils’ Executive would not stand again as leader of the Royal Borough of Greenwich and Cllr Catherine West, the current Chair of the Transport and Environment Committee, would stand down in that capacity at its next meeting. He thanked them for their work for London Councils over many years and also took the opportunity to thank all those who had served on the Leaders’ Committee during the four year cycle from 2010. The Chair also thanked the officers of London Councils for their work over the previous four years. 1. Declarations of interest No interests were declared. 2. Minutes of Leaders’ Committee held on the 11 February 2014 Leaders’ Committee agreed the minutes of Leaders’ Committee held on the 11 February 2014. 3. Financial and Wider Devolution: Growth Deal The Chief Executive introduced the report saying: • The most immediate opportunity to secure devolution in the economic sphere continued to be the proposed Growth Deal, working with the Mayor of London through the London Enterprise panel (LEP) • Following the LEP’s initial submission, the proposals had been refined and a business case prepared following intensive work with leading members, chief executives, groups of boroughs and the GLA • London Councils advocated public service reform alongside its Growth Deal bid • The proposals for devolved powers, refined to take account of members’ comments and feedback from ministers were set out in the draft chapter entitled ‘New Levers and Influence’ which was attached as an appendix to the report. It covered: o Skills o Welfare to Work including employment programmes o Housing Investment and Supply • The proposals would be considered by the LEP on 13 March 2014 • In support of the submission, Leaders’ Committee on 11 February 2014, agreed in- principle to developing the readiness of borough groupings, subject to government offering tangible devolution through the Growth Deal negotiations. The Executive on 25 February 2014 went on to consider a more detailed set of principles to underpin this commitment, which it recommended be put to Leaders’ Committee These were also attached as an appendix to the report for consideration. Cllr Teresa O’Neill (Conservative, Bexley) emphasized the importance of comments made outside of the Leaders’ Committee meeting about the working of the LEP in relation to the Growth Deal and the LEP meeting on 13 March. Cllr Richard Watts (Labour, Islington) argued for the need to make a more specific case but Cllr Melvyn Caplan (Conservative, Westminster) stressed the need to present a more positive picture mentioning success stories from London. Cllr Rocky Gill (Labour, Barking and Dagenham) reiterated a point he had made at previous meetings about the importance of freeing up the Mayor’s land-holdings. Leaders’ Committee agreed: • That the comments made by leaders on the draft submission appended to the report be conveyed to the LEP to influence their draft. • The principles on strengthening borough groupings also attached as an appendix to the report. 4. Transforming Rehabilitation Update Cllr Claire Kober (Labour, Crime and Public Protection, Haringey) introduced the report saying that: • London Councils had been working with MOPAC to influence the implementation of the reforms of the probation service and the report provided an update • The Transforming Rehabilitation reforms would mean that from the 1 June 2014 two organisations would deliver probation services. Existing Probation Trusts would be reorganised into a national public sector Probation Service and 21 new government- run companies, Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRC)s • Thirty per cent of high risk offenders would remain under the national Probation Service but 21 CRCs would be responsible for the supervision and the provision of services for the remaining 70% of low to medium-risk offenders across England and Wales • In October 2013 London Councils had launched “Reducing Reoffending in London: Why investing in local solutions will deliver” • The report welcomed the proposed extension of rehabilitation services to offenders on short term sentences and the government’s commitment to designate new local resettlement prisons • However it made clear London Councils’ real concerns about the national commissioning model that the Ministry of Justice had adopted, including the splitting of the probation service in two • It was clear, though, that the Government was pressing ahead with the reforms, despite London Councils’ concerns and the focus had adjusted to involve engaging with the Ministry of Justice to mitigate the effect of the Transforming Rehabilitation reforms so that they did not negatively impact on local area’s work to reduce crime and reduce reoffending • There were three bidders for the London CRC contract • The London Crime Reduction Board (LCRB) had established a London Reoffending Board taking a strategic overview of the emerging issues • London Councils and MOPAC have been seeking to progress three key areas with the Ministry of Justice: o That MOPAC and London Councils would work with the Ministry of Justice to shape and coordinate market engagement for London. o Seeking an advisory role for London partners in the evaluation process for a new provider for London. o Seeking a commitment to developing a shared London governance and oversight structure to take effect after the new contract was awarded. The Chair commented that he had been working with Mr Stephen Greenhalgh, Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime on this issue and they shared a commitment to localism in the way this evolved. He was concerned about the effect of the proposals on gang members, local knowledge about whom would not be taken into account if they were apprehended for a minor crime as they would still be treated as a low to medium risk offender despite the risk of violence.

  • London Assembly (Mayor's Question Time) – 25 May 2016
    Appendix 2 London Assembly (Mayor’s Question Time) – 25 May 2016 Transcript of Agenda Item 4 – Questions to the Mayor Tony Arbour AM (Chairman): Can we now please go to the list of questions that have been tabled in advance. 2016/1405 - London’s Economy and the EU Fiona Twycross AM How does continued membership of the EU deliver economic benefits to Londoners and the capital’s businesses? Sadiq Khan (Mayor of London): Thank you, Chairman. Thank you, Assembly Member Twycross. I would first of all like to note that this is my first Mayor’s Question Time and it is appropriate that my first question and many others during this session relate to the most pressing and important issue the capital and the country faces: the European Union (EU) referendum. The weight of Assembly Members’ questions today reflects how vital this issue is to the Londoners whom you and I represent. I will be campaigning to remain in the EU and I hope Londoners agree with me and also vote to remain. I urge people to find out how to register, make sure they are registered by the deadline - 7 June 2016 - and get out the vote on 23 June 2016. In answer to your specific question, the EU is vital to London’s economic success. It has been estimated that over half a million London jobs were associated with trade with the EU and a third of London’s business branches - 141,000 - sold goods and services to the EU. Overall, 44% of the UK’s exports are to the EU, far more than to any other region of the world.

  • London Assembly
    Appendix 2 Transport Committee – Wednesday, 6 December 2017 Transcript of Agenda Item 8 – Cycling Infrastructure Keith Prince AM (Chairman): It now gives me great pleasure to welcome Andrew [Gilligan], a man I worked with a few years ago when he was the Cycling Czar. He is not any more. His title is ‘Cycling Czar emeritus’ or something, in the Latin. We are now going to do a section on all sorts of things to do with cycling. Thank you very much for coming along. I am going to kick off with the first question and it goes like this. You have been critical of recent delays in getting cycling infrastructure built. What do you think has gone wrong? Andrew Gilligan (Former Cycling Commissioner): It is weak political leadership. The key condition for cycling improvements to happen is strong political leadership. We have seen that in the Mini-Hollands in Waltham Forest and in Enfield, which are the only schemes to have seen anything really happening on the ground in the last 19 months. We have not seen that from City Hall. There does not seem to be any real willingness to make decisions that significantly alter the status quo on the roads. Keith Prince AM (Chairman): Secondly, is borough capacity still a problem for delivering schemes and what are your views on plans for Cycle Superhighway (CS) 4 and CS9? Andrew Gilligan (Former Cycling Commissioner): Broadly, borough capacity was always the most serious problem we faced. Not very many boroughs are both willing and capable. Some boroughs were willing but not capable.

    Appendix 2 London Assembly Mayor’s Question Time – Thursday 21 March 2019 Transcript of Item 5 – Questions to the Mayor Tony Arbour AM (Chairman): We now go to the questions to the Mayor which are set out in the priority order paper. 2019/6251 - Brexit Andrew Dismore AM Given where we are on Brexit, what do you consider the implications are for the London economy and for Londoners? Sadiq Khan (Mayor of London): On 14 February [2019] Members of Parliament (MPs) voted to reject the Government’s bad Brexit deal. Last week MPs voted again to reject the very same bad Brexit deal. It is noteworthy that the Prime Minister thinks that MPs should get a second or even third say, but not the British public. Over and over again, Government has failed to deliver promised breakthroughs from its hopeless Brexit negotiations. This deal would worsen life chances and reduce opportunities in London and across the UK for future generations. The Prime Minister needs to put our city and our country first and withdraw Article 50. It is time to give the public the final say on Brexit with the option of remaining in the European Union (EU). With our partners in the London Resilience Forum, I have taken the steps we can to ensure the capital is prepared in the event the UK leaves the EU with no deal in place. However, the Government’s uncoordinated approach to the planning for a no-deal has made this very difficult. For many businesses, it has been nigh on impossible for them to plan ahead.
