Steve O’Connell AM: Thank you very much. It is very helpful for Onkar to tee me up nicely, talking about the hierarchy. Welcome, Val. It is great to see you both. From your hierarchy, the motorist is clearly rock bottom in your planning in the new Strategy. While clearly we would support the fact that people need to be more active and we get all that, I need to perhaps point out that in your Strategy it seems to be that you are clobbering the driver. My first question, Val, to you is regarding road pricing, which is inherent within...

• Question by: Onkar Sahota
• Meeting date: 28 June 2017

Dr Onkar Sahota AM: When Ken Livingstone was the Mayor of London he had a London Plan that had a policy on the allocation of street space and there was a straight hierarchy of road usage. Of course when the Rt Hon Boris Johnson [MP, former Mayor of London] came along he abolished the hierarchy and people thought, “This is a bad thing to do”. The current Mayor’s Transport Strategy does not have a hierarchy of road users. Why is that?

• Meeting date: 22 March 2017

Steve O’Connell AM: Yes. I shall try to be slightly more pointed. Assembly Member Arbour has mentioned the work of the Police and Crime Committee over a period of months responding to witnesses and representations from the good people of Tower Hamlets, including the very good Mayor, John Biggs. There has been reference to the fact that the Deputy Mayor Linden, when scrutinised by the Committee, appeared to be content with the investigations of the police within Tower Hamlets. Can I ask you, Mr Mayor, if you had not received or if Sophie Linden (Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime)...

Leonie Cooper AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. Since your arrival here in May [2016], many Londoners have said to me how pleased they are about the lead you have been taking on a wide range of environmental issues. Since 23 June [2016], a number of Londoners have also said to me how pleased they are that you have taken such a lead on the issues flowing from the Brexit vote. However, many people remain deeply concerned about the potential environmental impacts flowing from Brexit. I was wondering if you had had the opportunity in previous discussions with Anne Hidalgo, Mayor...

• Meeting date: 22 March 2017

Fiona Twycross AM: Earlier this month the Trust for London published research carried out by Loughborough University highlighting that over four in ten Londoners already do not have an income that the general public would regard as the minimum required for a decent standard of living. Are you concerned that the pressure on Londoners’ incomes will be increased if we continue to see high levels of inflation as a result of Brexit pressures?

• Question by: Nicky Gavron
• Meeting date: 08 March 2017

Nicky Gavron AM: This is a question I was out of time on that I would like to ask. During the last mayoralty, there was a general perception that Old Oak and Park Royal would probably be a rather dull development with residential units and commercial units and so on but that it would not really have a star attraction. Now there has been a lot of talk about Queens Park Rangers going there and a stadium-led regeneration with everything from casinos to concert halls and, recently, there were press reports on a study you were doing on something called...

• Question by: Caroline Russell
• Meeting date: 08 March 2017

Caroline Russell AM: For the Chief Executive, will you meet with Will Norman, the Mayor’s Walking and Cycling Commissioner, to discuss how Old Oak Common can meet the Mayor’s Healthy Streets objectives, which include working for a diverse range of Londoners

• Question by: Tom Copley
• Meeting date: 08 March 2017

Tom Copley AM: Thank you. I found a bit of time. I want to come back to the Land Value Tax question. Perhaps Doug could give the answer he was going to give me earlier on. Would it be beneficial in terms of raising finance for the project and, also, would it accelerate the delivery of new homes?

• Question by: Nicky Gavron
• Meeting date: 08 March 2017

Nicky Gavron AM: Victoria, you have given us quite a lot of context with this exchange. I want to go on talking about the industrial site. Park Royal is probably the largest strategic industrial location in the whole of Europe and it is definitely the industrial engine of the London economy and therefore a huge contributor to the UK economy. Everything you are saying about protecting it - and I really welcome what you were saying about the article 4 direction - and strengthening it is really important. You have talked about relocating some of the industries from Old Oak...

Navin Shah AM: Thank you, Chair. Will the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and planning agreements be sufficient to deliver the substantial amount of social infrastructure that will be required for the development?
