Sian Berry reminded the Mayor of the potential of a Universal Basic Income to support people to meet the basic costs of living when they lose work.. The Mayor is not yet keen, but has responded that pressure by showing interest in groups worst hit by rent costs.

Sian also asks about a potential introduction of a four-day working week, in response to the pandemic. The Mayor only says he is an advocate for flexible working, but agrees 4 day week is an interesting idea. Sian urges him to work more on 4 day weeks.
