Bob Crowe (Supplementary) [17]

  • Question by: Bob Neill
  • Meeting date: 16 July 2002
On Thursday, Bob Crowe said, "I think we will be laying down more dates for industrial action". In the light of that, do you intend to dismiss him from the Board of TfL?

Bob Crowe (Supplementary) [16]

  • Question by: Bob Neill
  • Meeting date: 16 July 2002
Why did you say that there should be no more strikes, Ken?

Bob Crowe (Supplementary) [15]

  • Question by: Bob Neill
  • Meeting date: 16 July 2002
Why, therefore, did you say in the Mayor's Question Time on 17 October 2001, "There should be no more strikes"?

Bob Crowe (Supplementary) [14]

  • Question by: Bob Neill
  • Meeting date: 16 July 2002
You said, in answer to Members on 8 November 2000, it was a requirement of all candidates to the TfL Board that they place the interest of passengers as their top priority. Do you think Mr Crowe placed the interest of passengers as his top priority on Wednesday and Thursday of last week, when he brought the Tube out on strike?

Bob Crowe (Supplementary) [13]

  • Question by: Bob Neill
  • Meeting date: 16 July 2002
And that, I take it, would be consistent with the view expressed by your economic adviser in 1974 when he called for armed workers militias? Is that the sort of people you surround yourself with, Ken?

Bob Crowe (Supplementary) [12]

  • Question by: Bob Neill
  • Meeting date: 16 July 2002
Is it perhaps because you need their political support that you have consistently, throughout your mayoralty, failed to condemn industrial disruption on the Tube?

Bob Crowe (Supplementary) [11]

  • Question by: Bob Neill
  • Meeting date: 16 July 2002
I think you are right. So, your message, do I get it from you finally, to Bob Crowe is no more strikes please?

Bob Crowe (Supplementary) [10]

  • Question by: Bob Neill
  • Meeting date: 16 July 2002
Therefore, you would advise them not to strike in future?

Bob Crowe (Supplementary) [9]

  • Question by: Bob Neill
  • Meeting date: 16 July 2002
Then you will have no difficulty in unequivocally condemning it, will you?

Bob Crowe (Supplementary) [8]

  • Question by: Bob Neill
  • Meeting date: 16 July 2002
Will you state unequivocally that you, as Mayor, believe it is inappropriate that there should be strikes on the Underground and that you condemn strikes on the Underground?
