• Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
• Meeting date: 02 September 2021

Shaun Bailey AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. Good morning, Commissioner. A question to the Mayor. One of the options for Londoners who cannot afford the rise in the ULEZ, the expansion, is to join car clubs, especially in outer London where cars are still quite heavily used. Are we doing enough to promote this kind of activity? Are you working on that?

• Question by: Leonie Cooper
• Meeting date: 02 September 2021

Léonie Cooper AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. We have just been talking about the central ULEZ and some of the issues relating to it. Obviously one of the things that it has done is contributed to a 44% reduction in roadside NO2 levels, which is great. However, that is not good enough, as you have repeatedly said, and many of us agree, given the air quality problems in London. Just set out for us exactly, in advance of the 21 October expansion, what the effect of that expansion is going to be on air quality within the new expanded boundary?

• Question by: Peter Fortune
• Meeting date: 02 September 2021

Peter Fortune AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. This is for you. It is sticking with the finance theme that we had there. It is relating back to that expanding ULEZ zone, which I accept has the potential to have a real impact on air quality, but also some impact on the least well-off. You will recall in June the Conservative Group here put forward a proposed solution to expand the scrappage scheme. We suggested some money that could be used to fund that as well. You said that there was no money available to do that. I was very pleased...

• Question by: Sakina Sheikh
• Meeting date: 02 September 2021

Sakina Sheikh AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. I will be addressing my question to you. My question is concerning creating financial sustainability in TfL by 2023. TfL has reduced its funding requirement for the financial year from £2.7 billion identified in the March 2021 budget down to £1.9 billion in the July revised budget. Can you explain what you have done to create this £800 million saving and whether you are still on course to becoming financially sustainable by April 2023?

• Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
• Meeting date: 02 September 2021

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: My question is to the Mayor. I would like to ask about the recovery from the pandemic, which should include cycling. On 4 August [2021], Dr Marta Krawiec was killed cycling to work at Holborn Gyratory. There have been eight cyclists killed there since 2008; four at the junction of Southampton Row and Theobalds Road. I have seen your recent reply to Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospitals about this where you stated: “TfL has already delivered funding for short-term interim measures and will support Camden to deliver these as quickly as possible.” Can you today provide...

• Question by: Len Duvall OBE
• Meeting date: 23 March 2023

Len Duvall OBE AM: I am thinking whether to end on a good moment; there is so much I could add. Nevertheless, in terms of the title, “Fairness of Outcomes”, the issues that sit around consultation and the issues around that, in some ways there is so much about fairness of outcomes here. In terms of some of the issues around taxation, you were rightly challenged around some of your taxation problems and you rightly defend why you make the choices that you do. Some of the issue around fairness of outcomes is: why do you think those in the...

• Question by: Joanne McCartney
• Meeting date: 23 March 2023

Joanne McCartney AM: Mr Mayor, I want to ask some questions about the finding of institutional misogyny in the report. All of us were aware of police failings with regard to the prosecution, for example, of rape and sexual assault. However, what this report laid bare was the sheer scale of misogyny throughout the ranks of the MPS. Also externally in their attitudes to the public who made complaints, with primarily women who made complaints. Baroness Casey described it as a boys’ club culture where the mistreatment of women is a feature of that culture. I know that you take...

• Question by: Sem Moema
• Meeting date: 23 March 2023

Sem Moema AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. Yesterday’s report was both devastating, shocking, and also more of the same. I would remark - sitting through the session and having read the report - that I was disappointed, and I am sure many other Black Londoners are disappointed. Some will no doubt use stronger words about the resistance of Sir Mark Rowley to use the word “institutional”, particularly in relation to race, and particularly in light of the fact of the murder of Stephen Lawrence 30 years ago and the changes that we all assumed and hoped had been made and...

• Question by: Unmesh Desai
• Meeting date: 23 March 2023

Unmesh Desai AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. Mr Mayor, it is recommended that you chair a quarterly Policing Board following this review. How do you see this board taking forward the recommendations and implementing the change that is needed and how will it differ from the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC)?

• Question by: Elly Baker
• Meeting date: 02 September 2021

Elly Baker AM: My first question is to the Mayor, around service levels and service level reviews. TfL is required to review service levels on London buses, London Underground, and TfL, this month as you know. Does it make sense to review them just six weeks after the easing of restrictions on 19 July?
