We will now look to develop fresh plans to achieve this, but we can confirm that the council does not support the full scale pedestrianisation of Oxford Street and believes a rethink of the whole strategy is now required. “As the local council, we need to make sure that everyone can benefit from improvements, not just certain groups. I utterly reject any suggestion that there is any kind of betrayal. Quite the contrary, we are sticking up for the people who know best, those who live and work in the district. It was clear through two public consultations and recent council elections that local people do not support the pedestrianisation proposals. “But doing nothing to improve the area is not an option either if we are to maximise the potential benefits from the opening of the Elizabeth Line. We must future-proof Oxford St and the surrounding district so it remains the pre-eminent shopping district in the UK and maintains its crown as the nation’s high street. The news that the House of Fraser will be closing their Oxford Street store only confirms our view that we all have to work harder to help the retail industry to grow and evolve, not simply stand still or just focus on traffic. “We are now working on our own proposals to improve the Oxford Street district and will share them with residents, business and visitors for discussion in the early Autumn.” Last updated: 7 June 2018 3 Please return completed questionnaires to Freepost TfL Consultations 1 This consultation provides detailed proposals for the improvements we would make to the section of Oxford Street between Orchard Street and Oxford Circus and its surrounding area. We have developed these proposals based on feedback to our last consultation and following detailed discussions with stakeholders, including local residents groups.

    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.

Parliament rose for the Christmas Recess on 17 December and returned for one day on 30 December to consider the EU (Future Relationship) Act. At the time of writing, Parliament is due to return on 6 January, having been recalled in response to the coronavirus pandemic. The summary is written with reference to the top line Parliamentary objectives and deliverables of the Remembrancer’s Office. For the Committee’s reference, these are set out in the appendix. Recommendation Members are recommended to note the report. Main Report Legislation Pertaining to the UK’s Future EU Relationship (Objective 1) 1. Legislation in several areas is particularly affected by the UK’s departure from the EU, examples include: Trade Bill – The Bill was introduced in the previous session of Parliament. It was re- introduced in March following the General Election and has passed through the Commons and is in the later stages of its progress through the Lords. The Bill makes provision for the UK to enter into trade agreements with countries with which the EU has existing trade agreements and establishes a UK Trade Remedies Authority which will handle trade disputes. The Government has suffered several defeats on the Bill, for example over a Lib Dem amendment requiring further parliamentary approval of trade agreements and a Labour proposal to assess compliance with international obligations.
