Read the report of this People's
Question Time meeting.
People's Question Time is your chance to question the Mayor and the London Assembly.
Your opportunity
The Mayor and the London Assembly work to improve life for Londoners and make London a better place. People’s Question Time
(PQT) is your chance to voice concerns and ask the Mayor and London Assembly Members what they are doing for the capital and
its people.
PQT happens twice a year. The three main issues it will focus on this time are policing and safety, transport and
environment. There will be an opportunity at the end to raise other issues not already discussed. Each section
will be allocated approximately 20 minutes.
Your Mayor
The Mayor makes long-term plans for London’s transport, planning, culture, sport, environment and economic and spatial
development. His plans set out priorities for organisations from boroughs to bus companies. The Mayor also sets budgets for the
Metropolitan Police Authority and London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority, Transport for London and the London Development
Agency.
Your London Assembly
The London Assembly examines and questions the Mayor on his decisions and strategies. It also approves the Mayor’s budget,
and holds enquiries into important London issues – from speed humps to the sewage leaks following heavy rain.
Your questions
If you would like to put a question to the Mayor or London Assembly at PQT, fill out the online form or email it to
peoplesquestions@london.gov.uk. Some questions submitted in advance will
be asked on the night. If your question is not asked on the night, you will receive a written reply within six weeks.
Your ticket
PQT tickets are free. Some tickets will be available on the door, but it is best to book in advance. Seating is on a
first come, first served basis. A ticket does not guarantee a seat; however ticket holders will be given preference.
