• Question by: Navin Shah
• Meeting date: 10 February 2016

Navin Shah AM: In 2006, 45 out of 270 or 17% of Tube stations were step‑free. As of November last year, there are 66 step‑free Tube stations. That is 24% overall. This is an increase of 7% over nine years or so. Mr Mayor, do you think that this is a good enough increase in eight years? Not really a great legacy to leave behind, is it, on an important issue like this?

• Meeting date: 10 February 2016

Tom Copley AM: Mr Mayor, yesterday the President of RIBA, the Royal Institute of British Architects, Jane Duncan, called for the Garden Bridge process to be halted. This morning it emerged that TfL’s Managing Director of Planning, Richard de Cani, who is a former employee of Arup and who decided alone on the awarding of the engineering contract, which went to Arup, has just been given a job at Arup. Why was he allowed to be the sole decision‑maker in the awarding of the Garden Bridge procurement contract?

• Question by: Steve O'Connell
• Meeting date: 10 February 2016

Steve O’Connell AM: Mr Mayor, turning more to your out‑tray, I would suggest, and regarding your legacy specifically for south London, could you confirm that in your forthcoming refresh of TfL’s business plan there will be a specific commitment to an investment spend on the Sutton tram extension?

• Question by: Kit Malthouse
• Meeting date: 10 February 2016

Kit Malthouse AM MP: Just on that particular point, do you think there is any danger, therefore, of the Western Extension of the Congestion Charge being revived?

• Question by: Roger Evans
• Meeting date: 10 February 2016

Roger Evans AM: Boris, I have been alarmed by some of the discussion from maybe some of the more eccentric people who wish to succeed you in your role, that they might consider extending Congestion Charge to cover the whole of Greater London. Obviously, if that idea was to gain currency I would hope that TfL would carry out a full consultation with residents in places like Havering and Redbridge so they can discuss their objection to this proposal.

• Question by: Roger Evans
• Meeting date: 20 January 2016

Roger Evans AM: I undertake now not to mention the names of any mayoral candidates because, clearly, it will make such a difference to the election result! My colleagues are obviously delighted with the news that you are giving them about extensions to the tram in south London. For those of us who live north of the river, Mr Mayor, can you just reassure us that your predecessor’s expensive and disruptive proposals for a West London Tram and a Cross River Tram will remain in the dustbin of history where they belong?

• Question by: Steve O'Connell
• Meeting date: 20 January 2016

Steve O’Connell AM: My colleague, Dick Tracey [Richard Tracey AM], has stolen my later question in a much more thorough way than I probably could. I am pleased to hear your continued commitment for the tram. I believe that we are perhaps inching our way rather painfully over these last seven-and-a-half years towards, hopefully, a happy outcome, particularly around the Sutton tram.

• Question by: Richard Tracey
• Meeting date: 20 January 2016

Richard Tracey AM: Mr Mayor, you know very well that my colleague Steve O’Connell [AM] and I are constantly supportive of extending the Tramlink and indeed Val Shawcross and I were present at Wimbledon to see the improvements that were recently inaugurated. You have mentioned the question of finding the money for extending the tram. Surely, when Sadiq Khan MP, the Labour aspirant to be Mayor, talks about freezing or reducing fares, it is hardly a practical step for getting the money to do this when TfL are worried about their own future.

• Question by: Navin Shah
• Meeting date: 20 January 2016

Navin Shah AM: Mr Mayor, I have a specific question about my constituency and clean buses but, before I ask that, can you tell us what your plans are for rolling out clean buses in outer London, very briefly?

• Question by: Andrew Dismore
• Meeting date: 20 January 2016

Andrew Dismore AM: Can you tell me how many children were in homeless families at Christmas last year?
