• Question by: Stephen Knight
• Meeting date: 06 February 2015

Stephen Knight AM: We have already heard a little bit about the issues of housing supply and the deficiencies in the Plan and so I will not repeat some of what has been said. However, it is clear that the inspector was willing to sign off this plan really only on the basis that there would be a further review to address the issues before 2016. I noticed in the response that the Mayor has made to the inspector - or it may have been to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) - that a review is already...

Nicky Gavron AM: Sir Edward, thank you very much for that introduction. The big headline out of this Plan is that the Mayor’s target is not high enough to meet the housing that London needs. It does not even take the target that is given in his own evidence. We have a housing crisis. Why are you content to move forward with a Plan that does not meet London’s housing need?

• Meeting date: 21 January 2015

Kit Malthouse AM: I wanted to ask specifically about Tooley Street. As a fellow cyclist, you will know that the road surface is appalling, the management of pedestrian crossings is terrible, there are buses, cars and lights everywhere and it is chaos.

• Question by: Richard Tracey
• Meeting date: 21 January 2015

Richard Tracey AM: Mr Mayor, you mentioned the rather unfortunate confusion at London Bridge Station, which looks as though it is going to go on for a good many months or indeed over a year. Given that a good many people have previously used the Southeastern rail from Waterloo East to London Bridge, which is now not possible, can you talk seriously to Transport for London (TfL) about putting more bus services between Waterloo and this area - possibly some sort of shuttle bus, as we often see when stations are closed - and indeed also of course using river...

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Mr Mayor, given the important role taxis played in keeping Londoners moving in the bus strike, can you confirm if you have read the [Assembly] Transport Committee’s report, Future Proof, on taxis and private hire and when we can expect your response?

• Question by: Kit Malthouse
• Meeting date: 21 January 2015

Kit Malthouse AM: Mr Mayor, you referred to the very valuable work that is being done with the CST around security for the Jewish community, but you will also be aware that in France in particular there have been some horrific revenge attacks on the Muslim community with hand grenades thrown into mosques, shootings and all this kind of stuff. I wondered whether similar work had been done in London. I know a number of mosques have received hate mail and death threats.

• Question by: Jenny Jones
• Meeting date: 21 January 2015

Jenny Jones AM: Mr Mayor, you have said recently, “I am not particularly interested in this civil liberties stuff”, but do you not think that MPS surveillance, which costs a lot of money, should be targeted at people who are a risk of serious criminal activity?

• Question by: Andrew Dismore
• Meeting date: 21 January 2015

Andrew Dismore AM: In the wake of the terrible events in Paris, the police concern for the Jewish community in London is the security of Jewish schools. Not all of them benefit from the grant to the CST for school security; for example, private nurseries. This worry is not surprising because in France in the very recent past Jewish schools have been attacked and children murdered.

• Question by: Steve O'Connell
• Meeting date: 21 January 2015

Steve O’Connell AM: You will get the opportunity, Mr Mayor. Just to complete the cross‑party bashing of you on this particular issue, a family of four travelling off‑peak from my area will find their fares rising from £25 to an unbelievable £36. Yes, you may say this is a small number, but often these are people who cannot afford this sort of increase and I do not think it washes to say it is 2% or 3% or a small number of people. I would urge you very much, Mr Mayor, to go away and instruct your officials.

• Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
• Meeting date: 21 January 2015

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: I am glad this morning that you now understand the issue that was raised last week with you about the Oyster off-peak and the impact it is having on those living in Zones 4-6. I have actually looked at your Mayoral Decision and it does say quite clearly in the executive summary - and so you will not have had to read the whole thing because I appreciate you are very busy - that the off-peak caps will be withdrawn. Why did you make this decision when it clearly was going to have such an impact...
