• Question by: Unmesh Desai
• Meeting date: 13 October 2022

Unmesh Desai AM: Mr Mayor, supporting victims, as I understand it, is one of the key features of your strategy to combat VAWG. As Mayor, you have appointed a Victims’ Commissioner for London and you have provided significant funding for victims’ services during your mayorship. Could you tell us a bit more about her role currently? You did not refer to her specifically in your finely detailed answer. Secondly, you have given examples of your public health approach to tackling this particular issue but, for the benefit of Londoners listening in and for our audience here today, could you explain...

• Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
• Meeting date: 13 October 2022

Shaun Bailey AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. I just want to look at this thing about violence. Fortunately, through the pandemic we saw a significant reduction in knife crime over that period, but we have seen a bit of a rise, now a 10% rise. What specific work are you doing around keeping knives off the streets?

• Question by: Krupesh Hirani
• Meeting date: 13 October 2022

Krupesh Hirani AM: Thank you, Mr Mayor. Assembly Member Cooper was at a Sustain food conference yesterday on healthy food and healthy living and was astonished to see this issue being raised in this way again. You have already referred to the facts and the evidence and the peer‑reviewed evidence that has come out on this policy. You would not reverse the smoking ban inside public places, which has proven to have had a positive public health impact on individuals across the country. Why does Assembly Member Boff, do you feel, think it is appropriate to review policies that are...

Keith Prince AM: Thank you, Chair. Thank you, Mayor. Can I echo your words in relation to the praise of our blue light services? I did actually write to the Fire Chief asking about a water bowser for Wennington [Fire Station]. As you know, Wennington nearly got involved with the fire; certainly they were involved in relation to the staff, but the actual fire encroached on to their land. Would you, Mr Mayor, just ask again if they would reconsider the provision of a water bowser for Wennington, please?

• Question by: Len Duvall OBE
• Meeting date: 21 July 2022

Len Duvall AM: Mr Mayor, do you think it is a bit hypocritical when people pick and choose which cost of living costs they want to raise in political debate and particularly in terms of this issue when we know - and actually the independent report tells us - that the extension of the ULEZ was a success? What the Member fails to realise when he cherry-picks some of the independent report is whether it is COVID. That is the question about those figures. Is that where we are? I would like your views around cost of living issues and...

• Question by: Neil Garratt
• Meeting date: 21 July 2022

Neil Garratt AM: Thank you, Chair. For the proposal to expand the ULEZ to the whole of London, who is the decision maker to do that or not do that?

• Question by: Elly Baker
• Meeting date: 21 July 2022

Elly Baker AM: Thank you, Chair. I welcome the Conservative Group’s concerns about high pay and bonuses and personally look forward to their focus on how to curb high pay and bonuses in the City, which frankly dwarf those mentioned here, but that is not normally their focus. Instead, we have heard over weeks and months fixation on travel passes and decent pensions for TfL staff and those staff that kept London moving through the pandemic. Some of whom lost their lives and some are struggling with the impact of the cost of living and of working with no certain...

• Question by: Susan Hall
• Meeting date: 21 July 2022

Susan Hall AM: Thank you. Mr Mayor, I have been listening to your answers and you do regret issues around Solar Together, of course. You cannot do anything else but that. Then, given that, you expressed no regret over your handling of the situation with the MPS where it has gone into special measures for the first time, and it is disgraceful. Even worse than that, you did not express regret that we have lost so many young Black lives. OK, admit regret over the solar, but do you not think that the MPS going into special measures is certainly...

• Question by: Len Duvall OBE
• Meeting date: 21 July 2022

Len Duvall AM: Mr Mayor, I am quite intrigued with the answer you were about to give in terms of Assembly Member Bailey. You were alluding to something he did in 2021. You were going to tell us and share with us what those were in terms of answers to his question. Can you tell us that? What were you going to say?

• Question by: Andrew Boff
• Meeting date: 21 July 2022

Andrew Boff AM: Mr Mayor, in six years, do you regret that there are homes currently being built on your Affordable Housing Programme that will require retrofitting in the future to comply with your own energy efficiency standards?
