• Question by: Peter Fortune
• Meeting date: 14 September 2023

Peter Fortune AM: Thank you, Chair. I just want to build on what my colleague was saying, because I think what he is alluding to are the emails that went from Deputy Mayor Shirley Rodrigues [Deputy Mayor for Environment and Energy] to some of the academic institutes. You know what I am like, I read things, I have an example here. There was an evaluation paper on low emission zones that was due to be published in the Lancet, a serious journal. Some of the findings of the review said this, and I am quoting directly, “There was no evidence...

Léonie Cooper AM: Thank you very much, Chair. Thank you, Mr Mayor. I just wanted to focus on this issue about fairness. I wondered if you thought that encouraging employers to pay the London Living Wage, would you say that is fair to try to increase the National Minimum Wage to the London Living Wage, and yet there is someone present in this room who said, “This would be the most damaging to the lowest skilled and lowest paid whose skills and value to the employers do not meet the London Living Wage”?

• Question by: Len Duvall OBE
• Meeting date: 06 July 2023

Len Duvall AM: Thank you. Given the Government is floundering on a whole number of issues, including transport, it has sort of lost control of the agenda for change in some ways. Therefore, I go back to the growth agenda if we go back to a question that my colleague earlier answered about suburban rail and the expansion. Is it not about time we brought back on the original proposal that TfL co-ordinates London and the South east that enjoyed - enjoyed - cross-party support and from officials but was stopped because of an ideological reason from the DfT by...

• Question by: Joanne McCartney
• Meeting date: 06 July 2023

Joanne McCartney AM: Thank you. My question is for the Commissioner, and I am going to raise the issue of the Piccadilly line signalling upgrade. It is good to hear that you have better relations with Government than previously. We do know that the new trains will increase capacity on the line by 23 percent, but if it were to be given the go-ahead, the signalling would increase capacity by 64 percent. Can I ask you about the state of those negotiations and are you hopeful that we will get that capital funding?

Marina Ahmad AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor, and good morning, Commissioner. Mr Mayor, have there been any long-term impacts on safety due to the Government’s short-term funding deals?

• Question by: Unmesh Desai
• Meeting date: 06 July 2023

Unmesh Desai AM: Thank you, Chair. Good afternoon, Mr Mayor, and good afternoon, Commissioner. Commissioner, my question is to you. Can you update the Assembly on what is being done to tackle crime on the transport network?

• Question by: Leonie Cooper
• Meeting date: 06 July 2023

Léonie Cooper AM: -- if I can bring us back to my question. Mr Mayor, you will have seen, as we have all just been seeing in our phones, that the London Ambulance Service, the police and the Fire Brigade have all been updating us on a very serious incident that has just taken place in Camp Road in Merton in my constituency where a number of children have been casualties. I understand it is not terror related. I am sure you would want to take an opportunity to send your thoughts and prayers to the parents of the children...

• Meeting date: 06 July 2023

Andrew Boff AM (Chair): Thank you. I am now going to hand over the Chairmanship to Dr Sahota [AM]. Dr Onkar Sahota (Deputy Chair in the Chair) AM: OK, Chair, over to you for your question. Andrew Boff AM: Thank you. Mr Mayor, when were you last in Uxbridge?

• Question by: Sakina Sheikh
• Meeting date: 06 July 2023

Sakina Sheikh AM: Thank you, Chair. Good morning to you, Mr Mayor and Commissioner; it is great to have you here with us. I think it is a well-known fact that all roads lead to Lewisham, Assembly Member Duvall’s patch. Unfortunately, all Tube lines do not lead to Lewisham. In fact, no Tube lines lead to Lewisham. I am so pleased for the laughter because I really worked on that one. We, as you know, are incredibly keen for the extension of the Bakerloo line that was promised and that case was made by Ifia Conteo, a really articulate young...

Susan Hall AM: Good morning, Mr Lord. At the moment, the ULEZ expansion Judicial Review has been heard, but we are still waiting for the judge’s judgment. How prepared is TfL for all the eventualities?
