Rail Services in Greater London (Supplementary) [3]

  • Question by: Dee Doocey
  • Meeting date: 15 December 2004
I appreciate that you do not know exactly what is going to end up in the Bill, but are you hopeful, for example, that you will be allowed to introduce a zonal fare structure and smart ticketing for both Tubes and trains under the new legislation?

In advance of the new powers and duties, Mayor, what steps are TfL likely to take to influence the suburban railways?

  • Meeting date: 15 December 2004
You do not think that you are going to be able to put any systems in place in order to stop one or two of the train companies wrecking the system for everyone else?

What about inside here?

Oxford Street Christmas Lights (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Peter Hulme Cross
  • Meeting date: 15 December 2004
If the Oxford Street retailers have expressed dissatisfaction, let us hope that you listen to them, since you do not seem to be too happy about listening to people normally. Nonetheless, let us bring this question a little bit closer to home, to this building, in fact. I make the point that you have abolished Christmas in this building, it would appear.

ID Cards (Supplementary) [12]

  • Question by: Graham Tope
  • Meeting date: 15 December 2004
Do you think the Home Office should be carrying out a full race equality impact assessment before these cards are introduced?

ID Cards (Supplementary) [11]

  • Meeting date: 15 December 2004
Plus the precept increase, at least double, probably treble the rate of inflation.

ID Cards (Supplementary) [10]

  • Question by: Graham Tope
  • Meeting date: 15 December 2004
Are you aware that the money currently committed by the Home Office ' I am not talking about the very wide estimates for what it may eventually cost 'towards this scheme will be enough to pay for 10,000 new police officers? If London got its share of that, that would be more than enough to fully implement the Safer Neighbourhood Teams across London. Do you not think that would actually do far more to reassure Londoners than having to carry identity cards?

ID Cards (Supplementary) [9]

  • Question by: Graham Tope
  • Meeting date: 15 December 2004
It is not currently proposed to be compulsory to carry identity cards, even when the scheme becomes compulsory. How is that going to help with the situation you describe?

ID Cards (Supplementary) [8]

  • Question by: Graham Tope
  • Meeting date: 15 December 2004
That leads directly on to the next quote from the 1990 Trust: `The 1990 Trust believes that the introduction of identity cards in Britain will reinforce racial discrimination and particularly Islamophobia.- Do you have no concern about that either?
