Jenny Jones (AM): On the zero-hunger city, how are you going to make good this oversight, leaving it out of the document?

Jenny Jones (AM): Without fettering your discretion, can I take it as read that you will look at the fact that is Metropolitan Open Land and, therefore, building on it is contrary to your London Plan?

• Question by: Andrew Boff
• Meeting date: 19 June 2013

Andrew Boff (AM): Mr Mayor, do you think that Assembly Member Dismore, like some lonely Japanese soldier in the jungle, has not received the message that in the class war on education their bosses have actually surrendered?

• Meeting date: 19 June 2013

Steve O'Connell (AM): Yes, thank you very much. In a few weeks' time, there is a planned march by the EDL and English Volunteer Force timed, it could be said, around the beginning of Ramadan, it may or may not be deliberate timing. As someone who does not agree with politicians banning marches, what we have done locally, and I hope that you will agree with that, is to urge the Borough Commander clearly to take the lead; it is a police matter, crime and safety and disorder. So while I abhor the intention behind this march, I think it...

Andrew Boff (AM): Mr Mayor, can we ensure that, when talking about extremism, that we do not have a kind of feeding frenzy on the wrong culprits from both sides of the argument, whether or not we are talking about those supposed Islamists who took part in this dreadful event in Woolwich, and also the supposed responders to that extreme responses to that? Will you try and ensure that in the response, in trying to identify the roots of extremism, that we do not look at the orthodoxy of a particular strand of Islam as being an indicator of extremism...

• Question by: Andrew Dismore
• Meeting date: 19 June 2013

Andrew Dismore (AM): On the 5 June, the Somali Bravanese Community Centre in Coppetts Ward in my constituency was burned down by arson in what appears to be a racially-motivated attack, which is clearly a great shock to the area where the community has lived harmoniously for 20 years and for Barnet as a whole where we are proud of our tolerant multi-cultural society. But the criminals responsible have achieved the direct opposite of their wicked objective of dividing our society as everyone has rallied around and in fact the first on the scene were Rabbis from the local Synagogues...

• Question by: Roger Evans
• Meeting date: 19 June 2013

Roger Evans (AM): Thank you, Chair. AC Burns' proposals were based on work which was done with the police service of Northern Ireland, a place where there were predominantly two different cultures which could be at odds with one another. In London, we have a great many different cultures and a much more diverse city. Do you think that makes the approach which they used in Northern Ireland unsuitable for our city and we need to have other solutions?

• Question by: Joanne McCartney
• Meeting date: 19 June 2013

Joanne McCartney (AM): I am glad in your last comments you said you want to help solve it because that is the first time I have heard you say you actually want to get involved with A&E matters. Can I raise my local hospital, Chase Farm? Its A&E is due to close later this year but in actual fact, some of the issues you have talked about on primary care not being up to scratch for example, one of the conditions of it closing was that the community services had to be there. They are not there and yet the...

• Question by: Tony Arbour
• Meeting date: 19 June 2013

Tony Arbour (AM): You have rightly said that one of the great hurdles for start ups with young people comes at the point when they take on their first employee when there is an enormous amount of red tape and an enormous amount of additional costs. You may know that my colleagues and I on this side have suggested that one way in which new microbusinesses could be helped to take on an additional employee is that for the first six months they need not pay the national minimum wage. Do you not think, in the light of what you...
