The London Assembly has today elected Dee Doocey AM as its new Chair for 2010/11.
Chair of the London Assembly Dee Doocey AM said:
"I am honoured that my colleagues have chosen me to lead the Assembly for the year ahead. I will do my utmost to justify their confidence in handing me this additional opportunity to serve Londoners. I am also proud to be the first Irish person to Chair the London Assembly.
"At this changing time in our national political landscape it is more important than ever that London has a strong voice and powerful advocates to make the case for funding vital projects like Crossrail. The London Assembly is determined to ensure that the sound arguments for investing in the capital's future, and the benefits that will also bring to the rest of the country, do not go unheard.
"In the months ahead the Assembly will continue to monitor the refinement of the Mayor's strategies and measure what impact they do or do not have on the quality of life in London. We will also continue to challenge the London 2012 team to deliver not just an excellent Games but also the long term benefits the capital was promised in the bid."
