• Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
• Meeting date: 05 March 2020

Jennette Arnold OBE AM: Firstly, can I just add my congratulations to TfL staff and management for what I would call the transport revolution that has taken place across our city in the last 20 years? I say that based on the knowledge of the first transport goals and aims that were set out by the first Labour Mayor and having been able to be in a position in my constituency, with all the infrastructure development that my constituents have received, to see that 20-year strategy being delivered. Commissioner, that is the high point. I want now to raise some...

Léonie Cooper AM: One of the issues that is filling my postbag is from people on my side of the river who are struggling with the replacement bus services, which they say are just not frequent enough, particularly in the rush hour peaks. I wondered if there was any likelihood of bus frequency being improved because it is quite clear from your answer to Assembly Member [Tony] Devenish that we are talking about something that is going to longer rather than shorter, which is pretty much as anticipated. Is there anything you can do for my constituents?

• Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
• Meeting date: 05 March 2020

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Mr Mayor, in terms of going further, let us look at the ULEZ. The first phase came in in April last year. It has been a huge success and I really welcome its extension in October 2021, but I do have some questions about how the wider zone is going to operate. Firstly, it is going to go up to but not include the North and South Circular. I am wondering, will you consider revising the border to include the North and South Circulars?

Shaun Bailey AM: Mr Mayor, on 7 February [2020] 97% of Unite bus drivers voted to strike over fatigue and safety. A week later, you announced that bus drivers would receive an extra £34 million in bonuses. How many more trade unions can expect this kind of hush money?

• Question by: Susan Hall
• Meeting date: 05 March 2020

Susan Hall AM: Mr Mayor, there is real growing local support and a very positive campaign from the splendid Elliot Colburn MP [for Carshalton and Wallington]. Will you start to seriously consider the extension of the Overground from West Croydon to Sutton?

• Question by: Keith Prince
• Meeting date: 05 March 2020

Keith Prince AM: First of all, Mr Mayor, thank you for attending the Haven House event last week. It was very gracious of you to come along to that. Continuing on black cabs, one of the big issues of course is around The Knowledge and the massive drops we have seen in the number of black cab drivers doing The Knowledge. I have actually seen advertising for people to do The Knowledge, which is something I have never seen before. What can we do about that, Mr Mayor? What plan do you have to do about it?

• Question by: Andrew Boff
• Meeting date: 16 January 2020

Andrew Boff AM: Mr Mayor, you quite rightly alluded to the very important subject of the number of social and council homes that were being built in London. If you are that concerned, why has it taken so long for you to appoint a Deputy Mayor for Housing? Could you let us know when that appointment will take place and whether or not you have any particular people in mind?

• Question by: Andrew Boff
• Meeting date: 16 January 2020

Andrew Boff AM: Mr Mayor, you have postponed signalling on the Piccadilly line, you have screwed up Crossrail and Londoners are yet to be persuaded there any of the changes you have done on the bus network have benefited them. Every other project you appear to have inherited from your predecessor and, basically, you are not getting the kind of progress that is required. Londoners want to know what on earth you have done over the past three and a half years. What have you done, Mr Mayor?

• Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
• Meeting date: 16 January 2020

Shaun Bailey AM: Firstly, thank you, Assembly Member Gavron, for your contribution. It was very moving and it reminds me of my time at Yad Vashem and hearing those very personal stories of how families were destroyed and then relating it to the situation we have here in London as well, speaking to some of my friends in the Jewish community. I just have a quick, short question for the Mayor. The funding is welcome. Are you going to try to repeat the fund and keep it going or is it a one‑off?

• Question by: Andrew Dismore
• Meeting date: 16 January 2020

Andrew Dismore AM: What is your message to EU citizens living in London who are concerned about their future post‑Brexit? Is it not the case that the Government intends to introduce a points‑based immigration system primarily based on high rates of pay, and what impact do you think this will have on services and industries in London that rely on hard‑working EU citizens, for example the National Health Service (NHS), which is under tremendous strain? University College London Hospital (UCLH) has 15% of its staff coming from other EU citizens, Royal Free Hospital 14% and Camden and Islington 13%. As...
