• Question by: Joanne McCartney
• Meeting date: 09 December 2014

My first set of questions are actually for the Commissioner, if I may, and I have some for the Mayor following that. Thank you for the comments about the Autumn Statement and the difficulties financially that the police are going to have in the future. A couple of weeks ago the Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime talked about drastic and dangerous police cuts which will have to happen. You have talked, I believe, today, and I have certainly had reports from ITN, that it would be difficult to maintain the 32,000 police officers on an ongoing basis. Could I...

Andrew Boff AM: Mr Mayor, are you aware that to make the London Living Wage compulsory would cost London businesses over £600 million a year and put under threat over 32,000 jobs?

Andrew Boff AM: Mr Mayor, in the absence of Home Rule that seems to be indicated by Westminster, do you think it is time for a referendum for independence for London?

• Question by: Kit Malthouse
• Meeting date: 19 November 2014

Kit Malthouse AM: Mr Mayor, do you think it is appropriate for the former Mayor, who has encouraged the intimidation of public officials, to remain on the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the Labour Party?

• Question by: Gareth Bacon MP
• Meeting date: 19 November 2014

Gareth Bacon AM: Mr Mayor, again, I am slightly confused by the attack that was just made on you. Boris Johnson (Mayor of London): I do not think he really did attack me much, did he? Gareth Bacon AM: In the preamble to his question, he said that there was no doubt that King’s College London were threatened and invited you to apologise to them. Then later on in his questioning he confirmed - and I was at the meeting and I heard this myself - that King’s College London had said that the journalist’s report was a misrepresentation of...

James Cleverly AM: Mr Mayor, on your campaigning, did you manage to get to Doncaster at all? Have you been campaigning in Doncaster?

• Question by: Kit Malthouse
• Meeting date: 19 November 2014

Kit Malthouse AM: Yes. Mr Mayor, I wanted to first of all thank you for the delicate process that is taking place around the East-West. Many of my residents are going through the consultation process at the moment. There are obviously various wrinkles that are alarming them, but we seem to be working our way through them. I wanted to ask you about the North-South at King’s Cross and what consideration you were giving to extending the Cycle Superhighway north of King’s Cross up towards Kentish Town and Belsize Park ‑‑

Andrew Boff AM: Thank you, Mr Mayor, for that update on the preparations for Ebola. I am assuming, therefore, that there are protocols that are now in place that will come into play upon the identification of the first Ebola victim within London?

• Question by: Andrew Dismore
• Meeting date: 05 November 2014

Andrew Dismore AM: That is the most bizarre conspiracy theory I have ever heard, verging on the United States blowing up the Twin Towers themselves. What I wanted to ask Ron about, actually, was an issue which I put to James [Cleverly] at the last Fire Authority meeting on industrial relations training. We know from the answers there that senior officers only get half a day’s industrial relations training. Do you think industrial relations in the fire service are good and well received all around and are operating as they should be?
