Gangs Violence Matrix and Black Londoners (Supplementary) [2]

  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 20 December 2018
I want to ask a bit more about data protection law. The ICO’s enforcement notice has some very stark conclusions on the issues on which she can rule, which are data protection and privacy. She says that basic data protection practice has not been followed and she comments on how the potential harm to people from this poor practice threatens public confidence in effective law enforcement. We know you have said you have been reviewing the purpose and use of the matrix yourself for some time and MOPAC tells us that the review started officially in July 2017. Can I...

Gangs Violence Matrix and Black Londoners (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
  • Meeting date: 20 December 2018
Hello, Mr Mayor. Just to follow up on Assembly Member Arnold’s question, 78% of people on the Gangs Matrix are young black males but they are responsible for only 27% of violent crime. Is there any indication as to why it is slanted so heavily this way? Has this review given any explanation for that or any insight?

Promise to triple the extent of London's protected cycle lanes by 2020 (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Florence Eshalomi MP
  • Meeting date: 20 December 2018
Just to follow up on that ‑ again, I very much welcome your cycle initiatives ‑ one of my New Year’s resolutions is to take up cycling so watch this space, but does the Mayor agree with my colleague Assembly Member Bailey in terms of cyclists on the Embankment on CS3 feeling pinned up against the river? Essentially, we need to get more people out cycling. What would the Mayor say to that?

Oral Update to the Mayor's Report (Supplementary) [4]

  • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
  • Meeting date: 22 November 2018
Mr Mayor, you quite rightly mentioned your concerns about public safety and in what I am saying I have no wish to appear complacent in any way, but will you join me in congratulating the Hackney Gangs Taskforce on its success in reducing knife offences by 46%? They did this by targeting over a nine-month period. Two notorious gangs that had been identified with some of the most horrendous crimes, including murder. I was so heartened by what Detective Sergeant [Matt] Webb said - and on an occasion like this, we do have to identify a leader amongst our police...

In your update you omitted to mention your visit to Newbury Park.

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

  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 22 November 2018
On the same theme, Mr Mayor, with less than five months to go until the date the UK is due to leave the EU, is it fair - according to [The Rt Hon] Caroline Nokes MP, the Immigration Minister, at the Home Affairs Select Committee last month - that the Government is expecting London’s businesses to check whether EU citizens have a right to work in the event of a no-deal Brexit without giving them details of how this will work, especially bearing in mind that Ms Nokes herself did not know how it was going to work either?

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

  • Question by: Fiona Twycross
  • Meeting date: 22 November 2018
My question is on the EU negotiations. I probably need to declare an interest in my question because I am married to a European Economic Area (EEA) citizen. How confident are you that the rights of EEA and European Free Trade Association (EFTA) citizens in London and those of EU citizens will be safeguarded following Brexit?

  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 06 December 2018
Andrew Dismore AM: Commissioner, I just want to ask you a couple of questions about some of the recent written evidence to the Grenfell [Tower fire] inquiry. Assistant Commissioner [Richard] Mills talked about the impact on people taking off time with stress, which is something in fact you mentioned at the beginning. With the Brigade being below establishment, how have you been able to maintain operational efficiency with so many people off? Has it meant a lot more overtime? That is one aspect. The other aspect I want an answer on - and I hope that this does not embarrass...

Supplementary [10]

  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 06 December 2018
Navin Shah AM: I have a quick couple of questions on cladding. Last week we had confirmation that the Government is banning combustible cladding on buildings over 80 metres, which you all very much welcomed. However, the London Fire Brigade in its consultation response said - and again we agree - that this was like treating the symptoms rather than the cure itself. What steps need to be taken towards the cure itself, Commissioner?

Supplementary [9]

  • Question by: Gareth Bacon MP
  • Meeting date: 06 December 2018
Gareth Bacon AM: I do not know who would be best to answer this. It is just a quick sally into finances. We are going to have a deeper dive on this next week when you are in front of the Budget and Performance Committee, but what is the most recent revenue forecast outturn for 2018/19? This was reported in August [2018] but, according to the London Fire Brigade papers, at the end of June the financial position was an underspend of £7.3 million, which is roughly 1.8% of your budget. Is that still the position or has that moved...
