Confidence in the Met (Supplementary) [3]

  • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
  • Meeting date: 17 July 2013
Jennette Arnold OBE (AM): I want to carry on with the issue of confidence and, as you would expect, I have received a lot of correspondence. That correspondence has been in two parts. One has been about the impact of the Lawrence revelations on the confidence and trust that Londoners have in the Metropolitan Police Service, and it would not be a surprise to you or anyone sitting around the horseshoe to know that this has been magnified in the black community. A recent poll from ComRes is saying that, while 37% of all Londoners are less likely to trust...

  • Question by: Murad Qureshi
  • Meeting date: 17 July 2013
Can I just move the questioning now to the confidence in the oversight of the Metropolitan Police Service's estate strategy, Mr Mayor?

Confidence in the Met (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Roger Evans
  • Meeting date: 17 July 2013
Mr Mayor, in among the many negative comments, which have been made this morning, you gave us the useful piece of information that confidence in the Metropolitan Police Service is remaining steady while it is declining in police forces around the rest of the country. Why do you think that is?

Tram extension to Sutton (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Steve O'Connell
  • Meeting date: 17 July 2013
Steve O'Connell (AM): Returning again to this subject of the Sutton tram, and it is pleasing that there is a very crowded field of people who want that to come to town, some of them latecomers. Boris Johnson (Mayor of London): Suddenly some of them jumping on the bandwagon. You are not saying the Liberal Democrats are suddenly discovering enthusiasm? Steve O'Connell (AM): I would not dream of being so discourteous. However, to be helpful in the first question, you will be aware, Mr Mayor, and surely you will agree with me, that after my lobbying of yourself and many...

Mayor's Oral Update (Supplementary) [2]

  • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
  • Meeting date: 19 June 2013
Len Duvall (AM): I am glad that you take the issue seriously, have you read the Assembly report prepared by Fiona Twycross on the food poverty in London ? One of the issues it has highlighted was, in 2009/10, 400 people were accessing food banks; in April 2013, 42,000 people were accessing foodbanks, and these figures come from the Trussell Trust food bank providers. Have you read the report?

Mayor's Oral Update (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 19 June 2013
Jenny Jones (AM): On the zero-hunger city, how are you going to make good this oversight, leaving it out of the document?

South London Incinerator (Supplementary) [2]

  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 19 June 2013
Jenny Jones (AM): Without fettering your discretion, can I take it as read that you will look at the fact that is Metropolitan Open Land and, therefore, building on it is contrary to your London Plan?

South London Incinerator (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Nicky Gavron
  • Meeting date: 19 June 2013
Nicky Gavron (AM): Could you tell me your waste strategy policy on incineration?

Free schools permitted development rights (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Andrew Boff
  • Meeting date: 19 June 2013
Andrew Boff (AM): Mr Mayor, do you think that Assembly Member Dismore, like some lonely Japanese soldier in the jungle, has not received the message that in the class war on education their bosses have actually surrendered?

Tackling Extremism (Supplementary) [3]

  • Question by: Steve O'Connell
  • Meeting date: 19 June 2013
Steve O'Connell (AM): Yes, thank you very much. In a few weeks' time, there is a planned march by the EDL and English Volunteer Force timed, it could be said, around the beginning of Ramadan, it may or may not be deliberate timing. As someone who does not agree with politicians banning marches, what we have done locally, and I hope that you will agree with that, is to urge the Borough Commander clearly to take the lead; it is a police matter, crime and safety and disorder. So while I abhor the intention behind this march, I think it...
