Could you just run over it for me - because I thought I had the figures and I did not quite believe them and so I must have misheard - the comparison between the number of incidents between 2007 and 2016 and the number of deaths in fires between 2007 and 2016 and the first attendance response times again? Could you just run over those with me again?

My question is to the Chair of the Fire Authority. Chair, the Fifth London Safety Plan (LSP5), the current one, allows for alternate crewing of some specialist appliances. Can you confirm or do you expect alternate crewing to be extended to LSP6 as well, please?

Jennette Arnold OBE AM (Deputy Chair): Thank you, Chairman. Good morning, Commissioner. Can I just add my personal thanks for the work that you have done. I remember your first meeting and you set the bar high then and you have certainly maintained that. I want to just go back to something that you talked about and that was the Stonewall Equality Index. This is an Index that is now recognised as not only being about the LGBT community. It is known that, if you focus on one aspect of access for one group, you can then look to see...

I would like to ask the Chair a few questions about increasing diversity in your workforce. You need to look at the offer that is made to staff and look at work practices. As you know, the Mayor announced that he wanted City Hall to become a model employer, adopting the highest standards to support women in the workplace. Is this something that you are looking to do at LFEPA and what plans do you have to review your current working practices?

Florence Eshalomi AM: Thank you, Mr Mayor. It is good to hear your commitment to Southern Rail and that is one of the key issues that has been filling my inbox. The question I want to ask is in terms of TfL’s capacity to deal with this if we are to take this on. It is welcome news and there is cross‑party support for this. Bearing in mind that TfL has an ambitious target over the next few years in terms of big infrastructure projects, do you think it can cope with taking on Southern Rail as well?

Andrew Boff AM: Thank you, Mr Mayor. Is there a budget attached to the #LondonIsOpen campaign?

• Question by: Keith Prince
• Meeting date: 20 July 2016

Keith Prince AM: Thank you, Chairman. Mr Mayor, I do not want you to misunderstand. The people of Redbridge definitely welcome the introduction of the Night Tube and we know that there may be issues around antisocial behaviour. Flippantly maybe, is the issue of antisocial behaviour via the Tube itself that is the problem? Assembly Member Devenish touched on the fact that the World Health Organisation has a limit in the evening of about 40 decibels. I was with a constituent a few days ago and the reading from the trains going by there was 60 decibels, which during the...

• Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
• Meeting date: 20 July 2016

Jennette Arnold OBE AM (Deputy Chair): Yes, Chairman. Can I just add a couple of points to what you have said there. It is following on from Assembly Member Devenish’s concerns. The London Assembly Labour Group has been concerned about noise from the Underground, specific parts of it, and on occasions from the Overground for many years now and has been doing some solid casework. It is because of TfL’s form in terms of its response to residents when they report this noise that there is this heightened concern that the noise of the Night Tube is going to be...

• Question by: Gareth Bacon MP
• Meeting date: 20 July 2016

Gareth Bacon AM: Yes, thank you, Mr Chairman. Mr Mayor, following up from colleagues’ questions, this is an issue that unites the Assembly and you. The offer that you gave to Assembly Member Dismore is a good one and I would like to back that up. Would you commit to writing to all Assembly Members before the next MQT, which is on 14 September 2016, with the outcome of your discussions with the police and also, crucially, listing when there have been incidents such as Andrew Dismore refers to and how many of those had been followed up with a...

• Question by: David Kurten
• Meeting date: 20 July 2016

David Kurten AM: Thank you. Following on from Assembly Member Badenoch’s question about Hezbollah flags, as far as I am aware in the UK the military wing of Hezbollah is proscribed as a terrorist organisation. The political wing is not, but they have the same flag. Could that be a reason why Hezbollah flags are allowed to fly and no action has been taken?
