Mayor's Report (Supplementary) [21]

  • Question by: Murad Qureshi
  • Meeting date: 20 February 2008
Mayor, just coming back to the potential legal challenge by Porsche motor cars, are there parallels to the challenge that you had with the original Congestion Charge scheme by the City of Westminster Council, in what they are proposing?

Can I claim yesterday's goody two shoes prize as I was out campaigning against the closure of my local post office yesterday morning in the company of Brian Paddick and Val Shawcross' good friend ' I am being ironic here ' Caroline Pidgeon [Liberal Democrat candidate for Lambeth and Southwark Assembly constituency]. Is it not bizarre that you find the need to update your report to us on the quality of London's tap water and you do not feel the need to update your report on the one thing that you have done since your report was published which got...

Are you saying there will be no loss of revenue?

Just quickly back to congestion charging. You had a good analysis of Boris Johnson's position on Porsches but were you surprised that Brian Paddick was backing Porsche's legal action in the Guardian this morning, given the Liberal Democrats' enthusiasm previously for the introduction of a higher charge on 4x4s and other polluting vehicles?

Let us get on the record what it is the police are looking into and also let us get it on the record, if you would, what clause of the GLA employment codes of conduct and so forth required suspension, because there is no automatic need for suspension; that is another of your ruses that you have done.

Basically, you would instruct the whole GLA family to look at this.

Well at least that is on the record. For the record, whatever Richard [Barnes] and the Conservatives have been doing, from our side we have never alleged that Lee Jasper, or indeed any of your other advisers, are engaged in corrupt practices. We do think there is inappropriate behaviour going on and we do think a lot needs putting right. Will you give us a copy of the letter that you have written to the police so that we have the actual matters that you have referred to the police? My understanding is that only relates to the LDA contracts...

  • Meeting date: 20 February 2008
No, I just want to be clear; you have brought the police in, so we need to know what it is you have referred to the police.

  • Meeting date: 20 February 2008
I remember that in fact at one stage you were hoping that they would have serviced your Congestion Charge, but that seemed to go awry early on. Is that something you would want to return them to?

You will specifically write to the Minister about the role of Greater London Postwatch?
