• Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
• Meeting date: 18 November 2021

Shaun Bailey AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. How are you? In your manifesto on page 219, I believe it is, you pledged to work with the tourism sector to improve pay and conditions, but later on in your manifesto in the Night-time Economy you say you want to make London a Living Wage economy. In the Skills and Employment section as part of your Good Work Recovery Mission, you again talk about having more employers accredited to the Good Work Standard. Even in the Financial Exclusion part of your manifesto, you make a pledge to promote credit unions to employees...

• Meeting date: 18 November 2021

Léonie Cooper AM: We discussed a motion concerning particulate pollution at the Plenary just last week, and I put an amendment down to the motion that came from the Assembly Member opposite. You have run an awareness campaign, but we still have this issue about wood burning stoves and of course the enforcement is mainly with local authorities. You have mentioned the issue of powers, so I wanted to ask you two things. One of the particular issues with wood burning stoves is if people use wet wood, and that was apparent when I went to Battersea Park recently and...

• Meeting date: 18 November 2021

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Mr Mayor, a year ago I asked a written question about particulate pollution monitoring on the approaching roads to the Silvertown Tunnel, and received a vague reply about four months later. I wrote to you again back in June [2021], but I have not yet had a response. Where precisely will you be monitoring particulate matter on the approach roads to your tunnel?

• Meeting date: 14 October 2021

Emma Best AM: Thank you, Mr Mayor, for that update on the Night Tube. I was 15 when a friend and I interrupted a black cab driver pushing a woman into the back of his vehicle and climbing on top of her in an East London backstreet. Just a few years ago I had to throw on a hoodie at 3am when a taxi driver had locked my housemate in his car and would not let her out until she showed him her vagina. I have witnessed, heard stories, and experienced inappropriate sexual behaviour at night on London’s streets in...

• Question by: Unmesh Desai
• Meeting date: 14 October 2021

Unmesh Desai AM: Mr Mayor, following the comments from the Prime Minister, which indicate he does not support calls for making misogyny a hate crime, what can the London Assembly do to support recent calls, both by yourself and others, for this to happen? Bearing in mind that the Home Office earlier this year indicated its support for misogyny to be accorded by police forces on an experimental basis.

• Question by: Susan Hall
• Meeting date: 14 October 2021

Susan Hall AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. I want to talk to you, if I can please, about the car and motorcycle scrappage scheme, which for anybody that is not aware is for the poor and the disabled in London. How much funding is still available in that scheme please?

• Question by: Emma Best
• Meeting date: 14 October 2021

Emma Best AM: A study by King’s College [London] has found that 99% of Londoners still breathe air with a higher concentration of PM2.5 than allowed by the WHO. This has not changed over the last five years. What are your plans to make sure this does change and what are your targets by the end of this term?

• Question by: Tony Devenish
• Meeting date: 14 October 2021

Tony Devenish AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. Thank you for inviting me to your speech at the Barbican on 23 September [2021] when you said you wanted to walk the walk on combating air quality changes rather than talk the talk. Will you follow your own advice, please, and dispose of your own old family petrol car that you admitted you still had not got around to changing in a subsequent interview in The Times newspaper?

• Question by: Anne Clarke
• Meeting date: 14 October 2021

Anne Clarke AM: I am sure everyone in this room has met with many residents in this horrific situation. This crisis directly impacts so many, including many of our key workers in London, and it is undeniably life-changing and terrible. What do you think it will take for the Government to act and come up with a real plan to finally end this scandal?
