Economic Development, Culture, Sport & Tourism Committee

Dee chairs the London Assembly's Economic Development, Culture, Sport & Tourism Committee at City Hall.

The committee's priority is to make a difference to the lives of the Londoners it represents. It investigates topics of interest and relevance to Londoners and makes well-researched recommendations, which can inform and influence the decisions of the Mayor, the boroughs and other government agencies.

Last year, the committee published reports on:

• Access to the labour market for people over 50

• Opportunities for small and medium sized businesses arising from the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games

• The London Development Agency's childcare programme

• Apprenticeships in London

• Access to sporting facilities for people with disabilities, and the legacy of the Paralympic Games

• Film production in London

• Tourism in outer London

The committee has recently published reports on incapacity benefit, and the employment and skills legacy from the 2012 Games.

Future committee scrutinies will include:

• An ongoing scrutiny of the Olympic Games and their delivery

• Markets

• The effect of the Olympics on Lottery funding for good causes
