• Question by: Tony Devenish
• Meeting date: 12 October 2017

Tony Devenish AM: Mr Mayor, during this process consultation it has not been seen to be open and transparent. Will you have a review at the end of this process of how you have communicated with residents? Many of my residents are only just hearing about these closures. They have busy lives in London and they are concerned the process has not been fair and transparent and has already been pre‑judged. Rightly or wrongly, that is their perception. Will you review this at the end and come up with lessons learnt, please?

Len Duvall AM: Mr Mayor, do you not recall Assembly Member Keith Prince, I think, in the summer asking you not to license Uber and making representations to you on the very point that TfL have intervened and brought Uber to account?

Tony Devenish AM: Thank you, Chair. Mr Mayor, good morning. Do you accept that when politicians of any party make a decision that actually hurts real people, that is when the public really take a dim view of all of us?

• Question by: Andrew Dismore
• Meeting date: 14 September 2017

Andrew Dismore AM: Thank you, Deputy Chairman. I have raised with you before the local concerns over the mergers in Camden and Islington, including poor community engagement, poor response to 101 calls and, most importantly, the worsening response times to emergency “I” and emergency “S” calls for help. You rightly said in response to a written question that the rollout across the capital will not happen until the merger problems are sorted out. Can you say when the evaluation is going to take place and confirm it will be carried out on published and objective criteria?

• Question by: Unmesh Desai
• Meeting date: 14 September 2017

Unmesh Desai AM: Mr Mayor, at this moment in time we in the Labour Group remain sceptical about the way plans for borough mergers are progressing. Evidence from the pilots - certainly the ones in Havering, Barking and Dagenham, and Redbridge - suggests that things are not well. I know that the Leader of Barking and Dagenham has been in correspondence with you. Target response times have been met only 52% of the time in Barking and Dagenham. Clearly, this is not acceptable and I think you acknowledge that. You have said in the past - and I quote -...

Tony Devenish AM: Have you prejudged every single station closure, Mr Mayor?

• Question by: Keith Prince
• Meeting date: 14 September 2017

Keith Prince AM: Thank you. Mr Mayor, you said a few minutes ago that you worked or MOPAC worked with the local councils to organise these meetings. Is that what you said?

• Question by: Steve O'Connell
• Meeting date: 14 September 2017

Steve O’Connell AM: Thank you very much. On the same theme, Mr Mayor, I fully support Assembly Member Pidgeon’s comments around this. The fact of the matter is, in Westminster, they had four working days’ notice and in Havering eight days’ notice. In Sutton MOPAC put the wrong date on. This, to me, represents a rather underhand way to approach engagement. Londoners would be quite happy for you to impose a date if there is plenty of notice. Assembly Member Prince and I joined the previous Deputy Mayor [for Policing and Crime] across London and met some wonderful people across...

• Question by: Andrew Dismore
• Meeting date: 14 September 2017

Andrew Dismore AM: With some of the immediate risks that are appearing, Mr Mayor, would you agree that part of the problem that has emerged from that leaked Government document is that EU nationals who are here already are starting to leave and that those who might have thought about coming to work in our public services such as the National Health Service (NHS) are not coming, creating a real vacancy problem, particularly in the NHS, for example? Would you also agree that one of the immediate risks is that the Brexit negotiations so far have been so shambolic on...

• Question by: Len Duvall OBE
• Meeting date: 14 September 2017

Len Duvall AM: Mr Mayor, this is an important question and I thank the Green Group for asking it. Do you accept, Mr Mayor, that the human rights legislation works both ways and that public-sector employees, police, transport operators and all, should also not have to go about their duties being spat at in some way? The use of hoods, if it is monitored, if it is done correctly, is also around protection of those carrying out their duties on behalf of us.
