• Meeting date: 18 November 2021

Keith Prince AM (Deputy Chairman): Good morning, Mr Mayor. Sadiq Khan (Mayor of London): Hi. Keith Prince AM (Deputy Chairman): You seem to be enjoying this afternoon. Sadiq Khan (Mayor of London): It was still morning the last time I checked. Keith Prince AM (Deputy Chairman): That is true, yes. That is very true. It must feel like a very long one, too. Earlier you quite rightly mentioned your work on cleaning up the air in London, and also you mentioned taxis specifically as part of that work that you are doing in having cleaner taxis and so on and...

• Question by: Tony Devenish
• Meeting date: 18 November 2021

Tony Devenish AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. In your manifesto - I will say that twice for Assembly Member Cooper’s benefit - in your manifesto, with regard to Hammersmith Bridge, you said you will continue to work with local authorities to deliver the ferry. There is no ferry. The ferry has been put on hold, understandably. Could you please update me in reference to where we are going with Hammersmith Bridge, please? I am sure everybody would have seen in The Economist article of last week that London’s bridges are falling down. We do not need this bad publicity. Thank...

• Question by: Neil Garratt
• Meeting date: 18 November 2021

Neil Garratt AM: Good morning. In your 2016 manifesto, you spoke repeatedly about being the most pro-business Mayor that London has ever had, and you repeated that language in your 2021 manifesto. I just wonder whether the most pro-business Mayor that London has ever seen would introduce a boundary charge cutting off businesses, customers and suppliers in outer London from the people that they need and the people that they serve just over the boundary.

• Meeting date: 18 November 2021

Nicholas Rogers AM: Thank you, Chair. Mr Mayor, draw us to one of your manifesto pledges that you have delivered, the expansion of the ULEZ. Are you able to tell us how many drivers have been charged so far since the zone expanded?

• 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...

• Question by: Leonie Cooper
• 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...

• Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
• 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?

• Question by: Emma Best
• 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?
