Cuts to LFB Budget (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Richard Tracey
  • Meeting date: 12 September 2012
In the past two years it is correct, is it not, that you have been extremely helpful to the Police Service, because you have such fine reserves that you are able to give them financial contribution.

Performance of London Underground (Supplementary) [8]

  • Question by: Roger Evans
  • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
Boris, there is some work going on on the District line at the moment to improve the service, which we are all very pleased about. This I think is really a question for the Commissioner. The work that is going on at the depot in Upminster is proving to be more disruptive to neighbours than they were told it would be, with noise and working for longer hours than they were told would take place, and I think what can fairly be described as an unhelpful attitude from some of the staff in the depot when the neighbours go around...

Performance of London Underground (Supplementary) [7]

  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
Thanks to the pressure by yourself and others no doubt. Are you concerned that such failures on the Underground at Games time could lead to worldwide embarrassment and what are you personally doing to assure yourself that the system is going to be working as well as it can throughout the Games?

  • Question by: Darren Johnson
  • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
I have a question to the Mayor. Had you perhaps underestimated how difficult it would be running the Tube network?

Performance of London Underground (Supplementary) [5]

  • Question by: Darren Johnson
  • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
Can you understand Londoners' frustrations? People expect you to take time off as Mayor, but when there are so many problems on the Tube that commuters face and they see you off on promotional book tours in the United States and so on, can you understand Londoners' frustration with you?

Performance of London Underground (Supplementary) [4]

  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
I think the last thing any of us want is images being beamed around the world of spectators having to be walked down the tracks and tunnels due to a broken-down train or some signalling problem or whatever, and particularly we have now heard that Jacques Rogge, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) President, may even occasionally be travelling by the Tube thanks to the pressures from you and others.

Performance of London Underground (Supplementary) [3]

  • Question by: Richard Tracey
  • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
This question is about a matter that was not the fault of London Underground, but I would like to hear whether you have received assurances of compensation from Thames Water for flooding the Tube a couple of weeks ago?

Performance of London Underground (Supplementary) [2]

  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
That was out of LU's control. Have you assured yourself that measures are in place? We have heard about the blue-light team and all the things you told us last week, and Peter and others have told us. How have you assured yourself and the IOC that things are in place and that people will be able to get around?

Performance of London Underground (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
I think that is reassuring and I am sure the IOC and Londoners will be reassured by that. In the event that there is a failure, say, on the Jubilee line during the games and you have people at the Olympic Park wanting to get down to the north Greenwich arena, will you allow spectators to travel for free on the cable car as a quick means to travel?

Project Daedalus (Supplementary) [2]

  • Question by: Murad Qureshi
  • Meeting date: 20 December 2012
We have already had it rolled out to outer London boroughs like Havering, Barking, Dagenham, Enfield and Kingston. I just want to know what consultation engagement has been carried out in the boroughs about increasing the availability of Tasers?
