• Meeting date: 08 June 2016

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: I think you have broken your fares promise today but I want to pick up on delivering your manifesto. You made a commitment to extend the Bakerloo line. People in southeast London are quite sceptical about this because we have been talking about it for over 100 years. I would welcome some assurances, though. Can you give a firm assurance that the project to extend the Bakerloo line south is on track, that work will start by 2024 as is currently planned and that it will have an extension at least to Lewisham by 2030?

Keith Prince AM: Mr Mayor, there is a rumour going around that the weekly, monthly and annual Travelcard will not be included in your fares freeze. Can you confirm or deny the accuracy of that rumour, please?

Andrew Boff AM: Mr Mayor, on your website, was there a statement that you would ensure a minimum of 80,000 new homes a year?

• Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
• Meeting date: 25 May 2016

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: A huge issue of safety on transport is with private hire services in London. TfL only has, off the top of my head, 68 enforcement officers tackling things like touting and cracking down on rogue operators and drivers. Will you look to increase the number of enforcement officers in this area to make sure that passengers who make a choice to use a taxi or PHV are guaranteed to be safe in London? Will you also look at increasing on action on dangerous rickshaws that basically rip off visitors in London and are a danger on...

• Meeting date: 25 May 2016

Gareth Bacon AM: Thank you, Chairman. In contrast to my new colleague, could I encourage you not to withdraw the application? East London is starved of river crossings and desperately needs the Silvertown Tunnel. You are correct to point to the pollution levels around the Blackwall Tunnel. The Silvertown Tunnel is designed to alleviate that. Can I please encourage you not to heed the eloquent argument, but to press ahead with the plan to build Silvertown?

• Meeting date: 25 May 2016

Andrew Boff AM: Mr Mayor, your manifesto said, “I will oppose building on the Green Belt, which is even more important today than it was when it was created”. Very good. A lovely statement. You are now saying it is horses for courses and that you may support building on the Green Belt. Is that correct?

• Question by: Keith Prince
• Meeting date: 25 May 2016

Keith Prince AM: I would have liked a much clearer commitment from you in relation to the Green Belt. I believe you visited a site with Wes Streeting MP. We have a site in Redbridge, Oakfield, which is a Green Belt playing field ‑ much loved, much used ‑ that the Labour administration is planning to declassify and build houses on. There are other sites in Redbridge that, through the draft Local Development Framework (LDF), it is are planning to declassify to build housing. I just wondered whether you would look into these issues, Mr Mayor, and be able to...

• Meeting date: 25 May 2016

Steve O’Connell AM: Thank you very much, Chair. I am grateful for the comments earlier. Before I go into the Green Belt, tenuously, we picked up on animal welfare then. As the in‑house animal hugger, would you - unlike the previous Mayor - be introducing an animal welfare strategy during the course of your term?

Andrew Boff AM: Mr Mayor, will you be joining with Mr Dismore to push the Labour Party to publish the full report [of the inquiry into anti-Semitism at Oxford University Labour Club] produced by Baroness Royall?
