• 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...

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?

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?

• Question by: Steve O'Connell
• Meeting date: 28 January 2015

Steve O’Connell AM: Yes, I may. Caroline [Pidgeon] ran out of time when we were talking about the anomaly of the off-peak outer London cap. The first thing that surprised me was that actually it was not anticipated by TfL. This wind and fire and fury that you are meeting - you will hear about it later - it seems odd to me that they had not smelled out this anomaly. That is my first point.

• Question by: John Biggs
• Meeting date: 28 January 2015

John Biggs AM: It will not surprise you that Labour members - I think the evidence is getting stronger and stronger on this - take the view that you have your eye very much off the ball and, if I could paraphrase it, that in your role as London Mayor you should worry less about Kalashnikovs and more about commuters. This is about fares again. Can you answer a simple question? Do people who live in outer London have a realistic choice about whether they use the public transport system to get to work in central London?

• Question by: Darren Johnson
• Meeting date: 28 January 2015

Darren Johnson AM: Dangerous junctions. The original dangerous junctions programme first identified 500. That was reduced to 100, and then we just have 33 now. Even with those 33 in the dangerous junctions programme, TfL only expects to deliver ten by 2016 and will not finish all of those 33 until 2022. Is it not time to set aside a little bit more funding from your roads budget, your transport budget, to ensure that we speed up this dangerous junctions programme?
