Key positions in the London Assembly were decided at this morning s annual meeting, the first since the elections. Credit: PA Labour will not have any members sit as chairs or vice chairs of any of the London Assembly’s scrutiny committees following this morning’s annual meeting. Assembly members this morning voted on who should take up positions at the first meeting since the GLA elections, but the City Hall Labour group has accused the Greens, Conservatives and Liberal Democrats of forming a “coalition” to “block” its members from key scrutiny committee positions. An agreement between the three parties, who have a total of 14 members on the Assembly, meant that Labour could not overrule their nominations for the chairs and vice chairs of the committees that scrutinise the work of the mayor, Metropolitan Police, TfL and other GLA bodies.
