• Question by: Richard Tracey
• Meeting date: 13 June 2012

Richard Tracey (AM): Yes, thank you, madam. Mr Mayor, can I welcome the plan to build a new Mitcham Fire Station in my constituency?

• Question by: Gareth Bacon MP
• Meeting date: 13 June 2012

Gareth Bacon (AM): Mr Mayor, Mr Shah commented that there were reports suggesting that eight stations are about to be closed immanently, which is obviously an alarming statement to make. I have not seen any of those reports, despite being a member of the Fire Authority for the last two years. Do you know what authority those reports have been issued by?

• Question by: Tom Copley
• Meeting date: 13 June 2012

Tom Copley (AM): Mr Mayor, you mentioned young people. Are you aware of how big the increase has been in the number of young people claiming Jobseekers Allowance (JSA) for more than six months in London?

• Question by: James Cleverly
• Meeting date: 13 June 2012

James Cleverly (AM): Thank you, Madam Chairman. Mr Mayor, just really to ask you to reinforce your commitment to look seriously at the heavy rail network coming through the south of London and a little reminder that whilst the work on rail integration is important across London, through my constituency in south east London, it is especially important because not having the cheap network, my constituents are more heavily reliant on service rail than almost any form of transport.

• Question by: Joanne McCartney
• Meeting date: 13 June 2012

Joanne McCartney (AM): Mr Mayor, I just want to ask you about robbery on the buses, because last year has shown an increase of almost 4.5%, so the trend seems to be going upwards, and we also have ten boroughs experiencing huge increases of over 20% in robbery on buses. If I give an example of Haringey, my own constituency, we saw an alarming 87% increase in robbery on buses. Can I ask, why do you think that the cases of robbery on buses are so patchy across London?

• Question by: Andrew Boff
• Meeting date: 23 May 2012

Andrew Boff (AM): Is the contrition that has just been given a strong argument for improving the power of clinicians in the decisions that take place in the National Health Service (NHS)?

• Question by: Roger Evans
• Meeting date: 23 May 2012

Roger Evans (AM): I think it would be useful if the Assembly recognised the work of many people across London on this important project including Councillor Linda Kelly of Hackney who is involved in organising the memorial in Hackney.

• Question by: James Cleverly
• Meeting date: 23 May 2012

James Cleverly (AM): I do have one on the Nine Point Plan and it is about waste and expenditure of political groups at City Hall, Mr Major.

• Question by: Tony Arbour
• Meeting date: 23 May 2012

Tony Arbour (AM): In fact, your first point was cutting waste at City Hall. I wonder, Mr Mayor, whether or not you have looked at the budget which has been granted to the Labour group here which is so fat that they have been able to allocate £50,000 to buy in the votes of the Greens and the Liberal members.

• Question by: Richard Tracey
• Meeting date: 23 May 2012

Richard Tracey (AM): Mr Mayor, I think your manifesto, as compared to the other one offered, was a work in progress leading to the future. The other manifesto was leading us to the past. Now, I have two specifics. (1) Am I not right that in 2000 and 2004, the Labour candidate who became Mayor promises a freeze in fares or a cut in fares but he did not deliver, did he?
