New Era (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Kit Malthouse
  • Meeting date: 17 December 2014
Kit Malthouse AM: Obviously, Mr Mayor, a sale to a social landlord is not without consequences. Has there been any work done on how many of the current tenants would actually qualify for social rent if they were to apply now?

The Autumn Statement (Supplementary) [5]

  • Question by: Fiona Twycross
  • Meeting date: 17 December 2014
In response to an earlier question, you called the Autumn Statement an ‘exceptional Autumn Statement for London’. Yet with four in ten children in London living in poverty, the Chancellor failed to mention child poverty in his statement for the second year in a row. With further cuts to Universal Credit in the Autumn Statement, which are likely to impact on the poorest children ‑‑ Roger Evans AM (Chairman): Can I just remind you this is about the impact on London transport? I am sure you will ‑‑ Fiona Twycross AM: Steve O’Connell talked about the ‘growth zone’ in Croydon...

The Autumn Statement (Supplementary) [4]

  • Question by: Richard Tracey
  • Meeting date: 17 December 2014
Mr Mayor, when you speak to foreigners when you are promoting London abroad or when the rest of us are going on holiday, how many times do you hear that they reckon that the London transport infrastructure as a whole is better than anywhere else in their own countries?

The Autumn Statement (Supplementary) [3]

  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 17 December 2014
Dare I do this? Mr Duvall’s questioning established the foundations of a very solid argument against you, which is that regardless of what you achieve in your last year on police numbers, you are creating a legacy. Regardless of whom the next Mayor is and whether they are Labour, Conservative, Liberal Democrat, Monster Raving Loony, Green or UK Independence Party (UKIP), they will find it virtually impossible to sustain that number of police officers. You are creating ‑‑ Boris Johnson (Mayor of London): Well ‑‑ John Biggs AM: I am asking a question. You are creating a legacy which is...

The Autumn Statement (Supplementary) [2]

  • Question by: Steve O'Connell
  • Meeting date: 17 December 2014
Thank you very much, Mr Chair. Mr Mayor, would you not agree with me that one way to increase spending on transport infrastructure or to plug any real or imagined gaps would be to allow London and the boroughs of London to have devolved to them their own tax-raising powers?

The Autumn Statement (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
  • Meeting date: 17 December 2014
Thank you, Mr Mayor. Can I just take you back to the issue that I thought you considered and many of us considered to be the most fundamental bread-and-butter issue in London transport, which is the Tube upgrade programme?

Terrorist Cyber Attack (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: James Cleverly
  • Meeting date: 17 December 2014
Mr Mayor, I invite you, in relation to the question that has just been asked, to reflect on the good work that is done by the Business Sector Panel of the London Resilience Forum, chaired by the Bank of England, which does a lot of work not just on ensuring that the financial services sector, as we said - which is very, very important - is resilient against both attempted fraud and actually more concerted cyberattack, but also does very, very good work in ensuring that information about cyber-resilience and online crime trickles down through to small businesses throughout the...

Night Tube (1) (Supplementary) [3]

  • Question by: Victoria Borwick
  • Meeting date: 17 December 2014
Victoria Borwick (AM): Thank you. Just to apply a bit of clarity, Mayor; the TfL Night Tube map does of course say the night Tube will be going as far as High Barnet, Edgware, Stanmore and in fact all the places that we were told that it would not be going to. I only go from what TfL say and so I just wanted to reassure people ‑‑ Boris Johnson (Mayor of London): I do not have the benefit of that map. Victoria Borwick (AM): Perhaps your Christmas message could be to assure people that you have thought of those.

Night Tube (1) (Supplementary) [2]

  • Question by: Richard Tracey
  • Meeting date: 17 December 2014
Richard Tracey AM: Mr Chairman, the point I was going to raise was about the integration of taxi ranks with the end of the night Tubes, but perhaps I could say to the Mayor and commend to him the taxi and private hire report that the Transport Committee has written. It was unanimously agreed across the parties and if you have a spare moment over Christmas, perhaps you will read it.

Night Tube (1) (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 17 December 2014
Is the overnight line on the Northern line going to go all the way to Edgware, High Barnet and Mill Hill East?
