Oral Update to the Mayor's Report (Supplementary) [3]

  • 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...

Oral Update to the Mayor's Report (Supplementary) [2]

  • 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...

Oral Update to the Mayor's Report (Supplementary) [1]

  • 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 and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [3]

  • 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?

Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [2]

  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 02 September 2021
Siân Berry AM: I would like to start with the Commissioner. On the TfL deal with the Government, one key part of that is the requirement to increase our fares in London by retail price index (RPI) plus 1%. That comes out at 4.8% this year, based on the figure for RPI that came out in July. Are you comfortable that a nurse in zone 6 is going to face an increase in the cost of travel on TfL services of as much as £20 a month according to this arrangement?

Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 02 September 2021
Keith Prince AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. I trust you had a good break. Do you believe that you should be doing everything possible to boost London’s economy and help London’s businesses over the coming months and years?

Housing and Planning (Supplementary) [21]

  • Question by: Peter Fortune
  • Meeting date: 01 July 2021
Peter Fortune AM: This is a question for Deputy Mayor Jules Pipe. It is about the inappropriate proposed developments on Transport for London (TfL) car parking land. Look at the amount of opposition there is to this. I am thinking about Stanmore, which is an 11‑storey proposal, and there are about 2,500 signatures against it. At Finchley, which is a 20‑storey, there are 3,100 opposition statements about it. At Cockfosters, which is 14 storeys, there are about 3,700. With almost 10,000 Londoners being against this, is it time to rethink your proposals for that land?

Housing and Planning (Supplementary) [20]

  • Question by: Nick Rogers
  • Meeting date: 01 July 2021
Nicholas Rogers AM: This is a question for Deputy Mayor Jules Pipe. At present, there seems to be a disconnect or an unevenness in the way that called‑in planning applications are approached. At present, there seems to be a lot of working behind closed doors with developers and this often leads to major alterations. Of course, there are very good reasons why the GLA Planning team would meet with developers. My question is: why are resident groups, who know their local areas intimately ‑ they know what will work, they know what will be acceptable to the local community ‑...

Housing and Planning (Supplementary) [19]

  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 01 July 2021
Keith Prince AM (Deputy Chairman): Good afternoon, Deputy Mayor. Thank you very much for coming down and visiting the SHC [Partnership] unit at Westminster Abbey yesterday. I am sorry I could not be there. I was at a Transport Committee meeting. You visited the unit, you went into it and you will probably tell me what you felt about it. One of the issues we had is because it is designed to fit on the back of a low loader without a police escort, it does fall just shy of the Mayor’s space standards. This does not seem to be...

Housing and Planning (Supplementary) [18]

  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 01 July 2021
Siân Berry AM: Coming back to the discussion you had with Assembly Member Bailey on the 2021 to 2026 housing grants and the allocations and profiles for it, you kept saying it was coming in the autumn and I think we know that in the public sector autumn runs from September to the end of December. Will it be closer to September [2021] or December [2021] when we get that profile, presumably in time for the budgets?
