Environment and Housing Committees Caroline Russell Londonwide Assembly Member Chair of the Environment Committee Murad Qureshi Londonwide Assembly Member Chair of the Housing Committee City Hall The Queen’s Walk London SE1 2AA Rt Hon Alok Sharma MP Secretary of State Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy 1 Victoria St London SW1H 0ET (By email) 16 September 2020 Dear Secretary of State, Re. 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). -
1 Address for Correspondence Mr
www.diabetologists-abcd.org.uk Address for correspondence ABCD Secretariat Red Hot Irons Ltd P O Box 2927 Malmesbury SN16 0WZ Tel: 01666 840589 Mr Murad Qureshi City Hall The Queen’s walk More London London SW1E 2AA Friday, May 31 2013 RE: Proposed London Assembly review of diabetes care in London (Ref HEC/CM) Dear Mr Qureshi, Thank you for asking for the views of the ABCD diabetes specialist group on key areas for diabetes care in London. These are addressed individually below: Why is London experiencing such a high growth in Type 2 Diabetes and what impact is this growth having on health spend? Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) has greater prevalence in people and communities of Afro- Caribbean, Asian, Chinese and Arabic origin and prevalence figures in a cosmopolitan city such as London reflect this variation. Other risk factors which are not specific to London, but contribute to the increased risk of developing T2DM, are principally obesity, which is due to dietary factors and sedentary lifestyles. A background ageing population produces further increased prevalence as the risk of developing T2DM rises with age. Eight per cent of the UK diabetes healthcare budget is still spent on the care and treatment of diabetes-related complications and this represents 10% of the annual NHS budget in England.1 Early diagnosis and improved quality of care for people with T2DM is crucial to prevent further projected rises in healthcare spend on this condition and related complications. 1 How might further growth in type 2 diabetes be curbed? Prevention and effective management of obesity should, in part, mitigate the alarming rise in the incidence of T2DM. -

The Jubilee Walkway. Section 5 of 5
Transport for London. The Jubilee Walkway. Section 5 of 5. The Jubilee Loop (anti-clockwise). Start and finish: The Jubilee Walkway panel (on the south side of Trafalgar Square). Nearest station: Charing Cross . Section distance: 2 miles (3 kilometres). Introduction. This is a circular walk in the heart of London linking the institutions of The Monarchy and the Government. This section of the Jubilee Walkway connects with section one at Trafalgar Square and at Great George Street. Look out for the Jubilee Walkway discs in the pavement as you go round. Directions. This walk starts from Trafalgar Square. Did you know? Trafalgar Square was laid out in 1840 by Sir Charles Barry, architect of the new Houses of Parliament. The square, which is now a 'World Square', is a place for national rejoicing, celebrations and demonstrations. It is dominated by Nelson's Column with the 18-foot statue of Lord Nelson standing on top of the 171-foot column. It was erected in honour of his victory at Trafalgar. With Trafalgar Square behind you and keeping Canada House on the right, cross Cockspur Street and keep right. Go around the corner, passing the Ugandan High Commission to enter The Mall under the large stone Admiralty Arch - go through the right arch. Keep on the right-hand side of the broad avenue that is The Mall. Did you know? Admiralty Arch is the gateway between The Mall, which extends southwest, and Trafalgar Square to the northeast. The Mall was laid out as an avenue between 1660-1662 as part of Charles II's scheme for St James's Park. -

TALENT . SUCCESS . LEADERSHIP 2014 wwwbbpower-inspiration.com TALENT | SUCCESS | LEADERSHIP Welcome to the 2014 edition of the British Bangladeshi Power & Inspiration Here you will find 100 bright, ambitious and successful British Bangladeshi names across 19 categories demonstrating the dynamic, entrepreneurial, philanthropic, pioneering and innovative nature of this community. The 20th category of the 2014 list is the “People’s Choice” where for the first time the general public were invited to nominate their most inspirational British Bangladeshi. The judges are delighted to announce the 5 unsung heroes of this category who serve to remind us of the strength and courage of individuals and the potential for the future. We are often asked why we produce this list and the answer lies with the word “inspiration”. The next generation is rising fast and we aim to be at the forefront of this revolution. Recent studies have shown that in GCSE exams taken at the age of 16, Bangladeshi girls now outperform their peers. On its own this is an amazing sound bite of achievement, but imagine what more could be achieved by providing strong, powerful role models and mentors for young girls (and boys!) from across all industries and categories that the BB Power & Inspiration represents. That is why following the success of our recent lawyers networking event, we will be hosting a series of “inspirational events” under the BB Power & Inspiration banner throughout 2014 for sectors such business and enterprise, medicine, public service and the arts. Please keep checking the website for further details. As if that wasn’t enough, it has become tradition that we do a little extra and so this year, please take a look at the 10 inspirational Bangladeshi figures who live away from our shores but who demonstrate our values of talent, success, leadership and are exceptional role models for all. -

The world’s eyes were on us as we celebrated The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and played a key role in supporting many Olympic activities and hosting the cycling time trials. Pictures of these wonderful events have been seen around the world by millions; however, we also chose to capture some quieter moments at our palaces, out of the international spotlight and attention. We asked two talented young photographers to record a very special year of our people, our palaces and the gardens, capturing the changes through the seasons. As part of this Annual Review, we present a small selection of their work on the following pages.
