Tackling far-right extremism (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Unmesh Desai
  • Meeting date: 16 May 2019
Unmesh Desai AM: Mr Mayor, the hostile environment has to be challenged at all levels. What can our sporting institutions, particularly our football clubs, be doing in this respect?

Oral Update to the Mayor's Report (Supplementary) [2]

  • Question by: Andrew Boff
  • Meeting date: 21 March 2019
Mr Mayor, with regard to the Michael Jackson adverts that appeared on buses, did you approve the action prior to the advertisements being withdrawn?

Oral Update to the Mayor's Report (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 21 March 2019
Mr Mayor, given your promise to be the most transparent and open Mayor, will you agree to publish the agendas, minutes and papers for the GLA Interest Rate Setting Board, the Land Fund Investment Committee and GLA Land and Property Board?

London's economic development (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 21 March 2019
I might clear some of that up. Mr Mayor, we all know that the Brexiteer Conservatives and UKIP are keen to see the UK as a low‑tax, low‑regulation, low‑standards Singapore‑style offshore economy with appalling labour standards, but do we really want New York’s castoffs like Amazon, which have pulled out of New York City after criticism of its scheme to set up there? Can I remind the Conservatives that whilst Amazon’s UK sales rose to more than £11 billion in 2017, the tax they paid, if any, on these sales is not publicly known because their sales are routed through...

Opportunities (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
  • Meeting date: 21 March 2019
Len Duvall AM: Mr Mayor, I feel that the Assembly Member might need to employ me as a researcher because the Assembly did a report on the very issues that you raise. It is very good report and I commend the Assembly ‑‑ Sadiq Khan (Mayor of London): Can I just say? If you want a referee for that job, I am not sure I will give you a good reference to be the researcher for that guy. You want to work for somebody with a future. Len Duvall AM: In terms of the question that was put to you...

Performance (Supplementary) [2]

  • Question by: Gareth Bacon MP
  • Meeting date: 21 March 2019
Mr Mayor, earlier on in answers to questions from Assembly Member Boff, you said that your administration had no failings. That may have been a rush of blood. It may have been on the spur of the moment. Do you stand by that?

Performance (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Tom Copley
  • Meeting date: 21 March 2019
Mr Mayor, I heard the word ‘failure’ and for some reason the first person I thought of was Boris Johnson [MP, former Mayor of London], your predecessor and of course their Mayor. You have highlighted very helpfully in your answer to Assembly Member Boff some of Boris Johnson’s massive achievements: £320,000 of taxpayers’ cash wasted on water cannon he could not legally use, £40 million on overpriced buses that overheated and were basically mobile saunas, and of course £43 million on the botched Garden Bridge. Do you think that perhaps their mistake is thinking that a mayor should be judged...

Helping asthma sufferers breathe easier (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
  • Meeting date: 21 March 2019
A point of personal explanation. As an asthma sufferer, I recently could not get a script filled fully. I had to go back a second time. There was another drug related to my asthma condition and I had to go to about four major outlets from a national chain before I could get half of that script filled. I would urge you to pick this up, Mayor, because it is an issue that now people are experiencing.

Brexit (Supplementary) [3]

  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 21 March 2019
That was a wonderful piece of positivity from you about Brexit, Mr Mayor, and I thought, well, perhaps from spending nearly three years in the same room as me on occasions, I might have given you some of my optimism about Brexit. Unfortunately, today I have heard too much pessimism, I think. The language that some people use about Brexit is far too pessimistic. You talk about sleepwalking towards a cliff, crashing out and so on, but the people voted to leave the EU because the people were right in being optimistic. The people see this not as those things...

Brexit (Supplementary) [2]

  • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
  • Meeting date: 21 March 2019
EU migration has dropped to its lowest levels now almost for a decade. I think we have asked this question but can you just remind us and can you just check on any latest information on what impact this is having on the various sectors within our economy in London, both public and private?
