• Question by: Leonie Cooper
• Meeting date: 28 June 2017

Leonie Cooper AM: Thank you very much, Chair. I want to continue on the subject of the ULEZ. I just wondered if you could explain the current thinking behind the dates for the rollout, which I am now finding slightly complicated? My understanding is that the central London ULEZ is going to start from April 2019 and that the London‑wide ULEZ for noncompliant heavy vehicles such as buses, coaches and lorries is going to start from 2020 and that the inner London ULEZ for all noncompliant vehicles is going to be rolled out from 2021. If my understanding is correct...

• Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
• Meeting date: 28 June 2017

Shaun Bailey AM: I just want to circle back to road pricing. Obviously London has lots of traffic and we all want to reduce the traffic and there is an environmental impact as well, but has any modelling been done on the huge cost of implementing this and does the Mayor have the legal powers to implement road pricing? Surely you are talking about a system that either measures how long you are on the road or when you are on the road or both and that means massive infrastructure and also a cost for Londoners because surely we would...

• Meeting date: 28 June 2017

Joanne McCartney AM: Thank you. I want to ask you about cycling, if I can. Your Draft Transport Strategy did not mention Cycle Superhighways by name but talked about a Londonwide network of cycle routes. Can I ask, will you be announcing any new Cycle Superhighway routes or any indication of the routes that you intend to progress?

• Question by: Steve O'Connell
• Meeting date: 28 June 2017

Steve O’Connell AM: Thank you very much. It is very helpful for Onkar to tee me up nicely, talking about the hierarchy. Welcome, Val. It is great to see you both. From your hierarchy, the motorist is clearly rock bottom in your planning in the new Strategy. While clearly we would support the fact that people need to be more active and we get all that, I need to perhaps point out that in your Strategy it seems to be that you are clobbering the driver. My first question, Val, to you is regarding road pricing, which is inherent within...

• Question by: Onkar Sahota
• Meeting date: 28 June 2017

Dr Onkar Sahota AM: When Ken Livingstone was the Mayor of London he had a London Plan that had a policy on the allocation of street space and there was a straight hierarchy of road usage. Of course when the Rt Hon Boris Johnson [MP, former Mayor of London] came along he abolished the hierarchy and people thought, “This is a bad thing to do”. The current Mayor’s Transport Strategy does not have a hierarchy of road users. Why is that?

• Question by: Steve O'Connell
• Meeting date: 22 March 2017

Steve O’Connell AM: Yes. I shall try to be slightly more pointed. Assembly Member Arbour has mentioned the work of the Police and Crime Committee over a period of months responding to witnesses and representations from the good people of Tower Hamlets, including the very good Mayor, John Biggs. There has been reference to the fact that the Deputy Mayor Linden, when scrutinised by the Committee, appeared to be content with the investigations of the police within Tower Hamlets. Can I ask you, Mr Mayor, if you had not received or if Sophie Linden (Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime)...

• Question by: Leonie Cooper
• Meeting date: 22 March 2017

Leonie Cooper AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. Since your arrival here in May [2016], many Londoners have said to me how pleased they are about the lead you have been taking on a wide range of environmental issues. Since 23 June [2016], a number of Londoners have also said to me how pleased they are that you have taken such a lead on the issues flowing from the Brexit vote. However, many people remain deeply concerned about the potential environmental impacts flowing from Brexit. I was wondering if you had had the opportunity in previous discussions with Anne Hidalgo, Mayor...

• Question by: Fiona Twycross
• Meeting date: 22 March 2017

Fiona Twycross AM: Earlier this month the Trust for London published research carried out by Loughborough University highlighting that over four in ten Londoners already do not have an income that the general public would regard as the minimum required for a decent standard of living. Are you concerned that the pressure on Londoners’ incomes will be increased if we continue to see high levels of inflation as a result of Brexit pressures?

• Question by: Nicky Gavron
• Meeting date: 08 March 2017

Nicky Gavron AM: This is a question I was out of time on that I would like to ask. During the last mayoralty, there was a general perception that Old Oak and Park Royal would probably be a rather dull development with residential units and commercial units and so on but that it would not really have a star attraction. Now there has been a lot of talk about Queens Park Rangers going there and a stadium-led regeneration with everything from casinos to concert halls and, recently, there were press reports on a study you were doing on something called...

• Question by: Caroline Russell
• Meeting date: 08 March 2017

Caroline Russell AM: For the Chief Executive, will you meet with Will Norman, the Mayor’s Walking and Cycling Commissioner, to discuss how Old Oak Common can meet the Mayor’s Healthy Streets objectives, which include working for a diverse range of Londoners
