Sian Berry AM: Yes, thank you. Just on the section 14 order, do you know when the last time a city-wide section 14 order was issued in London? Has this ever happened before?

• Question by: Nicky Gavron
• Meeting date: 17 October 2019

Nicky Gavron AM: Just on the back of that question, I would like to raise an issue. Some of the poorest children and most deprived communities live in areas with very high levels of toxic air pollution and in that context I would just like to say that last week at the International Climate Summit, led by C40 cities, awards were given to cities, seven different categories of awards internationally. The only city in Europe that got an award was London and it received it for its work on air quality. I would like to ask you to accept, the...

Unmesh Desai AM: Mr Mayor, the message that we are all Londoners is of course of much wider resonance than just being aimed at EU citizens, whom we of course value very much. It is about how we keep Londoners united in these very challenging, uncertain times as well. People like Neil Basu, the Assistant Commissioner [MPS], have warned about extremist forces, particularly the far-right extremists that he is very worried about, causing divisions in our communities and in society. This is National Hate Crime Awareness Week as well of course and, after what we saw in Bulgaria, as the...

• Question by: David Kurten
• Meeting date: 17 October 2019

Jennette Arnold OBE AM (Chair): You have 13 seconds. David Kurten AM: Mr Mayor, talking of budgets, do you not think our budget was fantastic? We proposed an extra 2,500 police officers for London.

• Question by: Susan Hall
• Meeting date: 17 October 2019

Susan Hall AM: Thank you. I will put a question in there. If you are so concerned about police numbers, as indeed we have been all the way through, why on earth did you not look at our budget amendment last year? You would have had an extra 1,400 police officers on the streets. I know you would have had to give up your PR officers and all the things you need to keep you happy but I suggest to you, Mr Mayor, that Londoners would have been much happier with an extra 1,400 police on the streets with our...

• Question by: David Kurten
• Meeting date: 17 October 2019

David Kurten AM: Mr Mayor, for once I do see some sense in what you are saying. Sadiq Khan (Mayor of London): It has happened before. Come on. It has happened before. David Kurten AM: Any new treaty, which is what this is - it is not just a deal, it is going to be a treaty - needs to be carefully scrutinised over many hours, perhaps many days, in order to understand all the full implications of what the treaty says. If it continues to lock the UK into a single market, into a customs union, into a new...

• Question by: Leonie Cooper
• Meeting date: 17 October 2019

Léonie Cooper AM: Mr Mayor, do you agree that it is absolutely ridiculous for Assembly Members who have been in this room since 10am this morning, and while a deal has apparently been announced as having been a negotiation for the EU 27, to suggest that we could advise anybody on how to vote on it when we cannot possibly have read it because we have been here the entire time?

• Question by: Susan Hall
• Meeting date: 17 October 2019

Susan Hall AM: Mr Mayor, Jean-Claude Juncker [President, European Commission], who you have been quite sycophantic towards in the last few months, has just Tweeted, “Where there is a will, there is a deal - we have one! It’s a fair and balanced agreement for the EU and the UK.” Can I ask you, as there is a deal, and as you have been going on and on for more time than I would care to think about about there not being a deal, will you encourage all your colleagues to actually support it so that we can start, if...

• Question by: Andrew Dismore
• Meeting date: 17 October 2019

Andrew Dismore AM: Pandrol Vanguard has been taken away on some of the Northern line stretches where residents were badly affected by noise, and I am already getting complaints that the noise levels are horrendous for people who live nearby. While that may have been to the benefit of the drivers, which I do not object to, and passengers, who may experience it for a very short period, the impact on residents has been horrific. TfL really needs to need to start to get to grips with this issue and not simply say, “There is no solution that we can...

• Question by: Susan Hall
• Meeting date: 17 October 2019

Susan Hall AM: Operation Midland is very concerning for us - for once, Mr Mayor, we seem to agree on something - but what are you going to do to ensure that [Field Marshal] Lord Bramall and his family, Lady [Diana] Brittan and Mr [Harvey] Proctor [former Member of Parliament] can get justice in this case? It was an incompetent and disgraceful inquiry. Are you going to hold the police to account for this and to support Sir Richard Henriques’s call for a new criminal investigation?
