Mr Mayor, could you join me in acknowledging that many of our communities did come together and protect their properties? I think particularly the Turkish community --

Rioting in London - impact on economy (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Roger Evans
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2011
Thank you, Chair. Mr Mayor, I have had meetings with small businesspeople in my constituency, some of whom suffered acts of criminality during the period of the riots and many more who were worried about it. What they are saying is that they want to know how far they can go in defending their properties, should this happen again. Can you get the police to issue them with advice which is slightly more helpful than the advice they issue at the moment? I understand it is constrained by legal situation, but nevertheless we should be able to do better, particularly...

Mayor's Oral Update (Supplementary) [12]

  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2011
Very quickly, I think Darren has asked the question very effectively. I have a little quote for you from a letter from the then Chief Executive to the Unison Branch Secretary. It says that the Mayor has indicated that he does not support Unison's proposal to pay an inflationary pay award to any staff. Would you accept that a 50% pay increase is an inflationary pay award?

  • Question by: Andrew Boff
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2011
I hope you will agree with me that it is very important that it is the duty of this Assembly to ensure that the Mayoralty cannot be compromised by any accusations of bias or undue influence. Bearing in mind when these events took place, can I ask for the Mayor to look into the meetings that the previous Mayor had with News International? In addition to the one that has been documented with James Murdoch [Chairman and CEO of News Corporation Europe and Asia]?

Mayor's Oral Update (Supplementary) [10]

  • Question by: Dee Doocey
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2011
Mr Mayor, do you share my concern that the senior officer looking at this review, or reviewing the case, spent just eight hours reviewing 11,000 pages of potential evidence, which included the shocking details of hacking? Do you share my astonishment that the MPS are now blaming the News of the World for not co-operating with their inquiry, when wrongdoers seldom hold their hands up and say, 'It was me, guv, let me show you how I did it'? Do you agree that if the evidence had been properly sifted through originally, the MPS could have obtained warrants to search...

Mayor's Oral Update (Supplementary) [9]

  • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2011
Thank you, Madam Chair. People questioned my motives in terms of my questioning and the approach that I have taken this morning, and my own actions at the time. I have been on record, and I am public about, calling for a fully independent public inquiry into the actions of the police at the time in terms of what I was told and when I was told. There are notes that may exist. They are police notes. I am quite clear and have talked to the people present in the room when I was briefed. There were also notes circulated...

Perhaps, Mr Mayor, to bring people to justice, and if you had done that perhaps you would have done this a little sooner.

Mayor's Oral Update (Supplementary) [7]

  • Question by: James Cleverly
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2011
There seems to be a lot of confusion about who was responsible for asking who, what and when, so I would just like to double-check in my own mind the chronology of this exactly. When this story broke and arrests were being made, Mr Mayor, who was the incumbent of the position of Mayor of London?

Mayor's Oral Update (Supplementary) [6]

  • Question by: Richard Barnes
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2011
Mr Mayor, much has been made this morning by Mr Duvall and Ms McCartney as to when you were first told that your phone had been hacked and what your reaction was. Could you refresh my memory: was that in 2006?
