BackBoris2012 Website (Supplementary) [3]

  • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
  • Meeting date: 22 February 2012
Thank you, Chair. I will stay with the question. In collating information, Mr Mayor, knife crime and serious youth crime violence does not seem to appear on this website. Is that because according to the latest Metropolitan Police Service figures and the information provided by your office to me, last year, there were 5,503 young victims of knife crime? This is an actual increase of 23% since you took office. Serious youth violence - and I stress the word serious here - has risen every year since you have been elected. You said in November last year, 'Serious youth violence...

BackBoris2012 Website (Supplementary) [2]

  • Question by: Roger Evans
  • Meeting date: 22 February 2012
Certainly not, Chair. It is entirely relevant to the discussion. Mr Mayor, would you be concerned that a website claimed that fares could be cut when they could not?

  • Question by: Richard Barnes
  • Meeting date: 22 February 2012
Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you for making that last very clear legalistic point for all of us here in the audience. Mr Mayor, would you be shocked, horrified or interested to know that, four years ago, there was a full-time employee in this building using GLA resources to run the Back Ken website. When it was identified, it was, 'I am only doing it in my spare time'.

Meeting (Supplementary) [6]

  • Question by: Gareth Bacon MP
  • Meeting date: 22 February 2012
My colleague Victoria Borwick is very keen to come to her question, which is the next one on the agenda, so I am going to pull my question, Chair. I am withdrawing my question.

Meeting (Supplementary) [5]

  • Question by: Roger Evans
  • Meeting date: 22 February 2012
I have to say, Chair, to listen to some of the Members opposite, I get confused about the function of this organisation and I have been here for 12 years, so it is sometimes bizarre to listen to the things they come up with. Mr Mayor, when you next meet Peter Hendy, on your no-doubt growing agenda after this meeting will you ask him about the important issue of bus driving standards to ensure that he stays on top of the performance of bus drivers and how they drive their buses, particularly with reference to the availability of wheelchair ramps...

Meeting (Supplementary) [4]

  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 22 February 2012
I see that the Mayor has not answered the question about the stated TfL business about increasing --

Meeting (Supplementary) [3]

  • Question by: James Cleverly
  • Meeting date: 22 February 2012
Mr Mayor, when you next meet Peter Hendy - he being someone that has worked with the former Mayor, the former Mayor who claims on his website that the average Londoner will save £1,000 over the next four years with there being a roughly £3.5 million Londoners of fare-paying age - will you ask him what the implications would be of that 1,000 multiplied by £3.5 million, which if my maths is right is a £3.5 billion black hole in TfL's finances? As he has worked with the former Mayor, would you ask him whether that figure is based on...

Meeting (Supplementary) [2]

  • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
  • Meeting date: 22 February 2012
Jennette Arnold (Chair): I have a point of order. Jenny Jones (AM): Point of order, Chair. The Mayor seems confused about the function of this meeting. This is called Mayor's Question Time because we question the Mayor. It is not an opportunity for him to attack any and every Assembly Member. It is an opportunity for him to justify his record and he seems not to understand that

Meeting (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Richard Tracey
  • Meeting date: 22 February 2012
Mr Mayor, just for the record, when you do next meet Peter Hendy, will you ask him how many money-saving suggestions he and TfL and yourselves received from the Labour Assembly Members over the last four years?

Cycle safety (Supplementary) [3]

  • Question by: Andrew Boff
  • Meeting date: 22 February 2012
Mr Mayor, what is clear is that cycling on the roads for which you are responsible has become considerably safer in your term of office. What action should the boroughs be taking to match that improved safety record on their roads?
