• Meeting date: 22 March 2018

Andrew Boff AM: Mr Mayor, [Baroness] Karren Brady [CBE], who is the Vice-Chairman of West Ham United, wrote to you on 3 January 2017 requesting a meeting. Did you meet Karren Brady as a result of that request?

• Question by: Andrew Dismore
• Meeting date: 22 March 2018

Andrew Dismore AM: Thank you, Mr Mayor, for that very comprehensive report about West Ham. Can you tell us how much extra the taxpayer is going to have to find as a result of these additional security measures? Was there any intelligence anticipating trouble beforehand? It does seem like we could be drifting back to the old days. Bearing in mind that last year West Ham cost the taxpayer over £1 million net in terms of policing, will you redouble your efforts to try to persuade West Ham to make a contribution and also approach the Government to try to...

Andrew Boff AM: Do you welcome the particular aspect of the council elections in London that saw the complete, total decimation of UKIP?

• Question by: Tony Devenish
• Meeting date: 17 May 2018

Tony Devenish AM: I wanted to make a different point, but I do agree with Assembly Member Kurten in one thing: we do need to dial down the rhetoric on both sides. You would agree that Londoners in my constituency and particularly police officers are in danger of getting hurt if this goes wrong. We do not want a public order offence at all. You would agree with that, Mr Mayor, and I hope you work with the MPS to make sure that we keep Londoners safe during this very important visit.

• Question by: Gareth Bacon MP
• Meeting date: 17 May 2018

Gareth Bacon AM: Thank you, Chairman. This is a very important aim and obviously we are fully supportive of it. Will you recognise the achievements of the Conservative Party, Mr Mayor, which is the only political party ever to have elected two female Prime Ministers entirely on merit?

• Question by: Joanne McCartney
• Meeting date: 17 May 2018

Joanne McCartney AM: Mr Mayor, the hostile environment policy initiated under the current Prime Minister, then Home Secretary, was obviously aimed at illegal immigrants, but that seems to have fed into a hostile environment for all immigration. We have seen the Home Office basically being very incompetent in targeting in fact British citizens who in many cases have been imprisoned in their home country or deported. Now, as Mayor of London, will you be making representations to the Home Secretary that they end this hostile environment policy?

• Question by: Tony Devenish
• Meeting date: 17 May 2018

Tony Devenish AM: Mr Mayor, you will remember that the Violent Crime Summit was held in the pre-election period because of the elections and you will agree, I hope, that there was real in-depth insight from people of all parties, borough leaders, MPs and Assembly Members on the day. Are you going to publish a note of what was said to make sure we do not miss any of that good learning and deep experience, please?

• Question by: Onkar Sahota
• Meeting date: 17 May 2018

Dr Onkar Sahota AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. Firstly, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the leadership you have shown in tackling the problem of knife crime in London and seeking to address the issue head-on. As Mayor, you have spoken about taking a public health approach to tackling knife crime. Please could you explain to me what you exactly mean by this and what challenges you foresee in implementing such an approach in London?

• Question by: Navin Shah
• Meeting date: 17 May 2018

Navin Shah AM: Mr Mayor, in my patch - I will start with Harrow, which is considered to be one of the safest boroughs in London - on 6 May we had two youths aged 13 and 15 shot at. In Brent, on 1 May [2018] on the border of Harrow, a man in his 30s was murdered in a shooting near Queensbury Station. The community is shocked. They are looking for reassurance and action. Both the Chairman and you have mentioned the cross-party summit and the informal Police and Crime Committee meeting we had in April [2018], which were...

• Question by: Andrew Boff
• Meeting date: 17 May 2018

Andrew Boff AM: At your Violent Crime Summit on 10 April [2018], the Commissioner [of Police of the Metropolis], your Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime, and the Home Secretary of the time all expressed the view that much of the surge in violence that we have witnessed on London’s streets was linked to the demands of the illegal drugs market. Would you agree with that view?
