In the UK, the media’s persistent focus on finding anything and everything problematic with Islam or Muslims has, to some extent, entered the subconscious of many parts of British society. Sober thinking parts of the academia and intelligentsia are now getting quite perturbed about it. This makes the on-going work of the MCB even more critical and relevant in today's climate and in the latter part of this address I will say a few words about this.

Green Homes Grant and Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund The London Assembly Environment and Housing Committees welcome Government investment in making homes more energy efficient and were pleased to see the Green Homes Grant and Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund announced in the Chancellor’s Summer Statement. The energy efficiency of homes in London is a significant problem. Many Londoners face considerable issues with damp, condensation and cold, which in turn negatively affects their health and wellbeing. As this is such a critical issue for Londoners, the Committees are writing to you to outline some questions and key points for consideration, as information for households about the funds continue to emerge and you and your teams further develop and roll them out. We support the Government’s ambition to reach net zero emissions, but this must be achieved sooner than 2050. In December 2018, the London Assembly passed a motion to declare a climate emergency, calling on the Mayor to do likewise and on the Government to provide him with the powers and funding needed to make London a carbon neutral city by 2030.1 The Mayor declared a climate emergency shortly afterwards, and in early 2020, set a target 1 https://www.london.gov.uk/press-releases/assembly/call-on-mayor-to-declare-climate-emergency Environment and Housing Committees for London to be net zero-carbon by 2030, alongside his manifesto commitment for London to be zero-carbon by 2050.

  • The Lord Hunt of Kings Heath Minister for Sustainable Development And
    The Lord Hunt of Kings Heath Minister for Sustainable Development and Energy Innovation and Deputy Leader of the House of Lords Nobel House 9 Millbank c/o 17 Smith Square London SW1P 3JR By registered post 20 April 2009 Dear Lord Hunt Is it still government policy to issue smog alerts for London? I sent you an email on Sunday 5 April but am not sure whether you received it so I am resending it as this letter. I am writing on behalf of the Campaign for Clean Air in London (CCAL) to ask you to confirm please whether it is still the government's policy to issue public warnings of significant smog events (i.e. not just those required to be made by law). Perhaps, if the government does not plan to continue this practice, it might 'direct' the Mayor of London to take over responsibility for issuing these warnings to protect public health in London. Clear lines of responsibility would clearly need to be drawn in the latter case. As far as CCAL is aware, the government did not issue a public smog warning before Bonfire night in 2008 or in the week commencing 30 March 2009 week in respect of one of the first summer smogs of 2009. CCAL's considers the lack of such warnings to be surprising - not least when the former was issued in 2006 and 2007 and the latter in 2006, 2007 and 2008. To give you a measure of the severity of the smog in the week commencing 30 March 2009 in London (which coincided with the G20 meetings in London), I received a CERC airTEXT alert on the evening of Thursday 2 April forecasting 'high air pollution everywhere in City of Westminster' - I do not recollect ever before receiving such a severe warning (even in the high summer).

This boundary, often referred to in the West as a ‘Chinese Wall’, is designed to uphold the inde- pendence of journalists from commercial interests or the whims of news proprietors. But does this separation still exist in today’s age of social media and at a time when news revenues are under unprecedented pressure? This article focuses on Twitter, now a widely used tool in the newsroom, analysing the Twitter output of 10 UK political correspondents during the busy party conference season.
