• Meeting date: 17 October 2019

Keith Prince AM: Just a point of clarification, please, Mr Mayor. Earlier, you mentioned about the time it was taking to do the contracts and so on and you said that because of the power supply and so on it was not possible to retrofit cameras. Were you referring to the Central line when you said that?

• Meeting date: 17 October 2019

Tom Copley AM: I just was wondering, Mr Mayor, if you thought perhaps in terms of housing, and particularly in terms of affordable housing, it might be better if the Conservative Group were to be lobbying their Government to actually fund affordable housing in London properly.

Navin Shah AM: Mr Mayor, I am pleased that you have apologised for the delays caused on the Metropolitan line. Being a regular customer and commuter, I appreciate the efforts that TfL is taking. On that account, can you please explain and give us details about how the customers were informed and when they were regarding the delays on the Metropolitan line?

• Meeting date: 12 September 2019

Susan Hall AM: Thank you, Chair. Mr Mayor, I note that in your opening comments yet again you concentrated on Brexit. I also note that since 2 September [2019] you have written to every MP about Brexit, you have put out a press release regarding Brexit, and you have tweeted five times about Brexit. Since 2 September, anybody using the Metropolitan line has had a hellish commute both in and out of London. You have not apologised. You are responsible for TfL. Would you like the opportunity to apologise to all of those poor travellers?

Sian Berry AM: Thank you, Chair. Firstly, Mr Mayor, I would like to thank you for the apology that came with the revised answer and by email from your Deputy Mayor [for Policing and Crime] about the serious inaccuracy that occurred with my MQ. That is very much appreciated. In my submitted question here today I had planned to have quite a wide-ranging discussion with you about human rights but, given what has happened, this is a bit of casework that I should discuss now. My first question - and I ask this because the Police and Crime Committee discussed...

Jennette Arnold OBE AM (Chair): Assembly Member Cooper, you wanted to come back? Leonie Cooper AM: Yes. Thank you very much. It is still on the subject of Brexit and it is about ‑‑ Sadiq Khan (Mayor of London): Chair, can I just say: do not allow the Conservatives heckling you to put you off raising the important issues. Leonie Cooper AM: I will not. It is a very serious question about things that the Mayor has been doing and the impact on Londoners who may need to seek settled or pre-settled status. The figures nationally show that only 1...

• Question by: Navin Shah
• Meeting date: 12 September 2019

Navin Shah AM: Thank you, Mr Mayor. Thank you, Madam Chair. Mr Mayor, you already mentioned the Cabinet Office’s report on Operation Yellowhammer. Do you think it is scaremongering or does the report have any substance? Following that, do you think London is ready to face the shortages and chaos it will result in and what steps are you able to take to protect Londoners from acute shortages and the disastrous impact it will have on the economic development of London?

• Question by: Andrew Dismore
• Meeting date: 12 September 2019

Andrew Dismore AM: Mr Mayor, what would be the impact on London’s economy of increasing the salary threshold for overseas workers coming here to £36,700, as proposed by the new Conservative Home Secretary Priti Patel?

• Question by: Tom Copley
• Meeting date: 12 September 2019

Tom Copley AM: Thank you, Chair. In terms of housing infrastructure, Mr Mayor, I would have thought our priority should be public transport infrastructure, things like Crossrail 2 and devolution of metro services to London rather than car parking. I wanted to ask you a quick question on the compulsory purchase of land, which is often the barrier to delivering both new housing and new infrastructure. Both Labour and the Conservative parties in 2017 pledged to reform compulsory purchase laws to make it easier for local councils to buy land for housing and for infrastructure. I wondered if you have...

Tom Copley AM: Thank you, Chair. Mr Mayor, sorry, I did not quite catch the last bit you said. Could you remind us what has happened to local authority budgets since 2010 under successive Conservative Governments?
