Gareth Bacon AM: Can you clarify whether or not it is within your gift to compel all organisations in London to pay the London Living Wage or not?

• Meeting date: 19 November 2014

James Cleverly AM: Mr Mayor, on your campaigning, did you manage to get to Doncaster at all? Have you been campaigning in Doncaster?

• Question by: Kit Malthouse
• Meeting date: 19 November 2014

Kit Malthouse AM: Yes. Mr Mayor, I wanted to first of all thank you for the delicate process that is taking place around the East-West. Many of my residents are going through the consultation process at the moment. There are obviously various wrinkles that are alarming them, but we seem to be working our way through them. I wanted to ask you about the North-South at King’s Cross and what consideration you were giving to extending the Cycle Superhighway north of King’s Cross up towards Kentish Town and Belsize Park ‑‑

Andrew Boff AM: Thank you, Mr Mayor, for that update on the preparations for Ebola. I am assuming, therefore, that there are protocols that are now in place that will come into play upon the identification of the first Ebola victim within London?

• Question by: Andrew Dismore
• Meeting date: 05 November 2014

Andrew Dismore AM: That is the most bizarre conspiracy theory I have ever heard, verging on the United States blowing up the Twin Towers themselves. What I wanted to ask Ron about, actually, was an issue which I put to James [Cleverly] at the last Fire Authority meeting on industrial relations training. We know from the answers there that senior officers only get half a day’s industrial relations training. Do you think industrial relations in the fire service are good and well received all around and are operating as they should be?

• Question by: Len Duvall OBE
• Meeting date: 05 November 2014

Len Duvall AM: In future budgetary decision-making, do you think - and I am still not clear about the motivation - that the Mayor seeking from Government to pack LFEPA, really, given the local election results, in terms of future decisions is right?

• Question by: Fiona Twycross
• Meeting date: 05 November 2014

Fiona Twycross AM: I just wanted to talk a little bit more about the cost of the strike, which you raised. In terms of the current wave of strikes, would you agree with me that the approach taken by the Fire Minister in private, in public and in writing suggesting that a new deal was on the table has been extremely unhelpful and prolonged the strike action and the cost of the strike action?

• Question by: Andrew Dismore
• Meeting date: 05 November 2014

Andrew Dismore AM: I want to ask you about the emergency fire crew contract. It is a clear example of market failure, is it not?

• Question by: Navin Shah
• Meeting date: 05 November 2014

Navin Shah AM: James, as everyone knows, London is facing a steep rise in its population for decades to come. If due to these demographic changes further fire services are required and having presided over extensive cuts, how do you think you will manage to improve and enhance fire services to meet those demographic challenges?

• Question by: John Biggs
• Meeting date: 05 November 2014

John Biggs AM: I wanted to explore further questions about the cost pressures within the budget. On the face of it, the Mayor is giving a guarantee about levels of funding. There is £389 million this year, £382 million next year and £382 million the year after that. He is also giving some assurances about compensating for further cuts in core grants. If the core grant goes down, the amount from City Hall goes up. He is also giving some advice and nudging you to do things by flogging buildings and cushioning your capital budgets and he has been very...
