• Question by: Hina Bokhari OBE
• Meeting date: 11 November 2021

Hina Bokhari AM: I am going to talk about flooding. There are recent issues that I am sure you are aware of that have happened in London. If you were to examine the OPDC website, the most recent information on policies to deal with flooding go back to 2015. Can you provide an update on the development of infrastructure and capacity to deal with flood risk, especially to deal with surface and storm water runoff?

• Meeting date: 12 January 2021

Caroline Russell AM: Thank you, Chair, and thank you, Martin, for that really clear description of what is happening in our hospitals and to the people working in those hospitals. I want to talk about the vaccination of frontline workers. I do realise that vaccination rollout is in early stages and that we will not know for a few months whether vaccination has any effect on reducing transmission, but yesterday the Government released guidance that said phase two of vaccination may include targeted vaccination of those at high risk of exposure and/or those delivering key public services. This week we...

Sakina Sheikh AM: Can you provide us with an update following the closure of the consultation of the revisions to the OPDC’s local plan, please?

• Question by: David Kurten
• Meeting date: 12 January 2021

David Kurten AM: Thank you, Chair. I would like to ask Dr Fenton. We heard from the Chair and you earlier about admissions to hospitals with COVID being the highest since the start of the declared pandemic in March 2020. How do total hospital admissions now, this January, compare to last January and other winter seasons before this year?

• Question by: Andrew Boff
• Meeting date: 12 January 2021

Andrew Boff AM: Professor Fenton, on I think 3 March [2020], the Mayor of London said that there is no risk of people catching coronavirus while travelling on buses or trains in the capital. Did you give him that advice?

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

Léonie Cooper AM: Thank you very much, Chair, and long live the impartiality. Mr Mayor, I just wanted to pick up a few of the threads of things that we have all been asking you this morning about transport. We seem to be in a slightly contradictory period of time where, for example, a previous Mayor handed back the £700 million budget that we used to get for operating the roads in London. My postbag - and I know others - is full and no doubt yours, too, of people saying there are potholes. At the same time, we give...

• Question by: Keith Prince
• Meeting date: 02 September 2021

Keith Prince AM (Deputy Chairman): Mr Mayor, I wonder whether you would agree with me - as sometimes you do - in relation to the Silvertown Tunnel and how important it will be for you to further your goals for walking and cycling. As you know, the Silvertown Tunnel will provide us with a tunnel fit for the 21st century, not one that was designed for the 19th century. One of the biggest benefits will be the fact that we can get a double-decker bus through that. I believe, and I would be grateful if you could confirm, that there...

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

Peter Fortune AM: This is a question for the Commissioner. Can I also just add to what my colleagues said about welcoming your appointment? Your informed, pragmatic and non-political approach is exactly what we need at this time because there are lots of challenging conversations going on. I am just looking at some data now of increased levels of car use in outer London post-pandemic. There are some big challenges around major infrastructure projects being shelved like the Sutton tram extension. I know there are conversations about reducing some bus frequencies in outer London as well. As a result of...

• Question by: Emma Best
• Meeting date: 02 September 2021

Emma Best AM: Mr Mayor, a question for you, please. In anticipation of a motion we will be discussing later today, the Terrence Higgins Trust has recommended that we use some TfL advertisement to promote testing for HIV. Especially this recommendation comes in light of the fact London continues to have the highest rates of HIV in the country, in particular the boroughs of Southwark, Lambeth and Lewisham, which have the highest. Will you commit to giving some advertising space on TfL for HIV testing?

• Question by: Nick Rogers
• Meeting date: 02 September 2021

Nicholas Rogers AM: I have a question for the Mayor. We are welcoming the first of many hundreds, if not thousands, of arrivals from Afghanistan, just as we continue to welcome many new arrivals from Hong Kong. All of these people have much to contribute to this city and many will have specific skills, whether they are technical skills, engineering skills, customer service skills or whatever it might be. What are doing and what is TfL doing to match qualified Afghan arrivals and Hongkongers with suitable jobs within TfL so that the whole city can benefit from their skills and...
