• Question by: Richard Tracey
• Meeting date: 21 November 2012

The core fact is that the public want more constables on the street, so they are looking forward to the 2,000 extra police officers that you pledged in the election.

• Question by: Tom Copley
• Meeting date: 17 October 2012

Tom Copley (AM): I just wanted to very quickly ask the Mayor if he would congratulate Ken Livingstone for securing the £5 billion that he used to build the 55,000 affordable homes that he comes here every month and tells us about?

• Question by: Tony Arbour
• Meeting date: 17 October 2012

Tony Arbour (AM): Are you aware, Mr Mayor, that the providers of sub standard bed and breakfast accommodation and the providers of beds in sheds are rubbing their hands with glee over the proposals made by the Government for allowing people to double the size of extensions in rear gardens without planning consent? Clearly, this is going to be an open door to provide the kind of sub standard accommodation which Mr Copley has been talking about. Do you not think that this extraordinary proposal from the Government, which will destroy many parts of your London Plan about garden grabbing...

Steve O'Connell (AM): Really only the question that I think there is something like 170,000 permitted planning applications within London --

• Question by: Steve O'Connell
• Meeting date: 17 October 2012

Steve O'Connell (AM): Thank you very much. On the present subject, whilst I very much understand and appreciate the frustrations out there in neighbourhoods and communities around uncertainties, will you agree with me and confirm that under your direction the Deputy Mayor [for Policing and Crime] will be preparing a MOPAC business plan, policing plan with an estate strategy and also oversee the rollout of the local policing model that will give certainty to the neighbourhoods and Members around the policing model for years to come.

• Question by: James Cleverly
• Meeting date: 17 October 2012

James Cleverly (AM): Thank you, Chair. I had hoped to subtly remind you that my understanding is that Members were here to ask questions of the Mayor and receive answers from the Mayor. Unfortunately, there have been a number of occasions where Labour Members have finished their line of questioning with a statement and you have curtailed the Mayor's attempts to answer the implied questions in those statements. If we are envisaging a change of standing orders where Members are allowed to make parting shots or closing statements, whatever you want to call them, perhaps you could inform the Assembly...

• Question by: Roger Evans
• Meeting date: 17 October 2012

Roger Evans (AM): Thank you Chair. Mr Mayor, you have heard today that you have had correspondence with a number of Members of the Assembly about threats to police services in their areas. Can you tell me, in the course of that correspondence have they made any suggestions about other ways in which the police service would be able to save money given that it was their Government that created the financial situation that makes the savings necessary?

• Question by: Andrew Dismore
• Meeting date: 17 October 2012

Andrew Dismore (AM): Very straightforward question, Mr Mayor. When my borough commander a couple of weeks ago told me that the borough commanders would be merged between Barnet and Harrow and Navin's [Shah} borough commander told him exactly the same thing and showed us that map that Jo [McCartney] produced, were they lying to us?

• Question by: Tony Arbour
• Meeting date: 17 October 2012

Tony Arbour (AM): Are you aware, Mr Mayor, that many of the things that you have been advocating for putting more officers on the front line through sharing police facilities are already taking place? Can I draw your attention, or indeed refresh your memory of the fact, that Kingston and Richmond are going to have a joint custody centre which is being built at Kingston? Can I refresh your memory about the purpose built police premises which have been built in Richmond which now provide bases for Safer Neighbourhoods Teams which mean that there is step-free access for the disabled...
