• Question by: Andrew Boff
• Meeting date: 17 June 2015

Andrew Boff AM: I have some guests in the audience today, some senior residents from Hackney. In the first question they raised with me today when I asked if they had any issues, their issue was the behaviour of some cyclists in Hackney and how they can become very selfish users of the road. Along with your contribution towards increasing the ability of cyclists to get around London, can you re-emphasise time and time again that cyclists, when they get on a bike, are not the only users on the road and they should pay care and consideration to other...

• Question by: Roger Evans
• Meeting date: 17 June 2015

Roger Evans AM: Thank you, Chair. I am pleased you mentioned outer London, Mr Mayor. You will recall from your visits to Redbridge that there is actually a considerable amount of enthusiasm for cycling in that borough. One of the things that would really help that movement to grow would be the extension of Cycle Superhighway 2 from Stratford to Ilford, which might indeed with a branch actually link into the Mini-Holland that is being developed in Waltham Forest as well. I would just like you to reaffirm your support for that project, which we are certainly waiting for with...

• Question by: Richard Tracey
• Meeting date: 17 June 2015

Richard Tracey AM: Mr Mayor, what you have achieved over the last seven years has to be viewed as pretty spectacular, even by the most militant cyclists. Darren Johnson AM: Incisive scrutiny there, Richard! Boris Johnson MP (Mayor of London): I am grateful, Dick. If anything, I was going to say that was a mild understatement, but you all -- Richard Tracey AM: I wonder what you think that your successor is going to be able to do further than you have with cycling. Could I put a request in that far more happens in the outer London boroughs with...

• Question by: Kit Malthouse
• Meeting date: 21 May 2015

Kit Malthouse AM MP: Thanks, yes. Mr Mayor, just two subjects from me. On bicycles, I know you have been quite keen to lobby on modifications to motorcars in terms of emissions and the type of car and all the rest of it. There is quite a lot of technology available now for cars for sensors around the car: blind-spot sensors and object sensors. Airbags are now becoming more mandatory in cars, as are seatbelts. I wonder whether it would be sensible for us to lobby the Government on whether near-side sensors on cars could be specified, particularly in the...

• Question by: Jenny Jones
• Meeting date: 21 May 2015

Jenny Jones AM: Thank you for the offer of the briefing from the MPS about the cyclist’s death and I will say yes to that, but I want a bit more than that. This is the second time recently that the MPS has backed off from prosecuting a driver who has actually killed somebody. This particular driver should never have been employed in the first place. The judge actually said, “Heavens know why the lorry owners let you drive that vehicle without checking you had a valid ‑‑ Boris Johnson MP (Mayor of London): Sorry, I could not hear that...

• Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
• Meeting date: 21 May 2015

Jennette Arnold OBE AM (Chair): Just before I look to Members, Mayor, you just talked about that piece of action being taken in Parliament and you talked about ‘we’. Is that a TfL-sponsored bill that you are talking about?

• Question by: Tom Copley
• Meeting date: 25 March 2015

Tom Copley AM: Thank you, Chairman. Mr Mayor, would you support an incoming Government extending right-to-buy to housing association tenants?

• Question by: Joanne McCartney
• Meeting date: 25 March 2015

Joanne McCartney AM: Thank you, Mr Mayor. I was not linking the two incidents. I was referring to the incident in Wood Green High Street where we had the Kurdish parade for Newroz, which has taken place for the last few years on an annual basis and has actually taken place extremely peacefully without any issue. However, it appears that a stall promoting extreme Islamic ideas popped up in the High Street at the same time. Whether that was premeditated or not, there was certainly, I believe, a brick thrown at the parade and some abuse called, which I understand...

• Question by: Valerie Shawcross
• Meeting date: 28 January 2015

Valerie Shawcross CBE AM: Thank you very much, Mr Mayor. We are a city with some of the highest fares in the world. We have had seven years of continuous increases. We have terribly overcrowded systems in London, hundreds of thousands of passengers --

• Question by: Kit Malthouse
• Meeting date: 28 January 2015

Kit Malthouse AM: Mr Mayor, in my experience, the attitude of an organisation towards the taxpayer or farepayer’s pound is often best illustrated by the attitude of senior management towards their own personal expenditure. Do you think the hospitality expenses policy that is operated for senior managers at TfL is the right one at the moment?
