Victims of Crime (Supplementary) [2]

  • Question by: James Cleverly
  • Meeting date: 08 March 2012
James Cleverly (AM): Following up from Victoria's questions about particularly young victims of crime and their confidence in policing, and I do not want to go crashing into one of the issues we have later on, but we are going to be touching a little bit on disproportionality. From memory, from the feedback we get from the sectors of the community who are least confident interacting with the police, the young tend to be less confident than the older generation. Black and other ethnic minorities tend to be less confident than the white population. Specifically with young, potentially black victims...

  • Question by: Tony Arbour
  • Meeting date: 08 March 2012
Tony Arbour (AM): I have been looking at this card, and I have to say I am not sure I agree with you, Kit, that people do not expect criminals to be caught. I seem to recall Kit Malthouse (Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime): They do. Tony Arbour (AM): the saintly Sir Robert Peel [Home Secretary who established the Metropolitan Police Force in the 1820s], when he put down the things of people being caught and brought to justice; no mention of that on the card. The key thing about this card which I note is that it says...

Trident Gang Crime Command (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 08 March 2012
Caroline Pidgeon (AM): I just wanted to pick up a couple of things, following on from Val's question. The issue Val mentions of the seven stabbings, and one stabbing that resulted in somebody tragically dying in parts of Lambeth Kit Malthouse (Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime): Pimlico. Caroline Pidgeon (AM): -- I wonder if there is any more information you could give us in terms of extra resources and what you are doing, because there are clearly huge concerns in the community in that area, and it would be useful if you could give us a bit more information...

Concern (Supplementary) [34]

  • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
  • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
Yes, thank you, Chair. My questions of concern are about sexual harassment on London transport and they are to the Commissioner. Peter, I am just looking for four yeses here, so I hope we can agree. Can I just start by saying, I know that you will agree with me, that sexual harassment on London's transport system has been a matter of concern. I say that because I have been working with your officers on this matter since 2009. Can you confirm that TfL remains committed to a zero tolerance approach and that TfL has a duty to ensure that...

  • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
I think it is very encouraging to hear that actually TfL, you have shifted your position away from what really was a hand-washing of the issue. Can I agree with you, Peter, that these issues can be resolved quite quickly and I would have thought that, if necessary, if you get on the phone to the union and the employers, you could probably get everybody into Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS) tomorrow in order to stop the strike on Friday.

Concern (Supplementary) [32]

  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
Mr Mayor, the question is twofold: one is that, of the 270 stations served by Underground network, only 65 which would be fully accessible come London Olympics, and then there you have got this temporary ramps, manually placed at some stations. The question is that, are those temporary ramps at all for future feasible to be used as entry measures? The serious question is --

Concern (Supplementary) [31]

  • Question by: Andrew Boff
  • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
Mr Mayor, if some of the Assembly Members need to label every part of the TfL network as 'dangerous to cyclists' succeeds, could that not be used by defence counsel as an argument to reduce the legal culpability of dangerous drivers?

Concern (Supplementary) [30]

  • Question by: Andrew Boff
  • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
I would be very interested, Mr Hendy, to see the results of that study. Just anecdotally, tipper-truck drivers do seem to drive incredibly fast and just from my observation, as somebody who did cycle in this morning, and cycles in to City Hall most days, it desperately needs attention, because there is something desperately wrong with the way in which those vehicles are used on the roads of London.

Concern (Supplementary) [29]

  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
Mr Mayor, I hope that cycling safety is also a cause for concern for you. In light of your exchange with Assembly Member Boff at Mayor's Question Time on 23 May, how many of the 16 cyclists who were killed in London last year would you say died because of their own fault?

Concern (Supplementary) [28]

  • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
  • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
I understand that one of the things that may be happening is that there is a likelihood of injunctions flying around again. This seems to have been the employers' previous tactic to deal with industrial relations in the industry and of course now there is a very frustrated workforce; many of them have seen their salaries in terms of conditions cut over the years. They have had a very poor relationship with their employers because of a general unwillingness to discuss and negotiate. Are you going to pick up the phone to the employers and give them the advice you...
