Senior GLA staff have spent £38k on overseas travel and hotels for the 10 months to 31st January 2025. This compares with £15k for the whole year ending 31st March 2024. What is the business case for international travel and why has it more than doubled?

  • Question by: Alex Wilson

Sir Mark Rowley has pointed out that comparable cities such as New York and Sydney have 50% greater per capita spend on policing than London. What is the per capita spend for London and what are the comparable figures for other major cities internationally?

Deaths in Gaza

  • Reference: 2025/1221
  • Question by: Alex Wilson
  • Meeting date: 22 May 2025
On March 30th, you stated in a broadcast Eid message on X that the Israeli military had killed more than 50,000 Gazan civilians including more than 15,000 children. What was your source in the region for these figures? Since Hamas, which is proscribed as a terrorist organisation in the UK, has since acknowledged that 72% of deaths have been combat-aged men, could you either provide the details of your alternative information source and confirm your confidence in that source or confirm that you accept the data referred to by Hamas and confirm when you will make a public correction?

ULEZ Fines for Stolen Vehicles

  • Reference: 2025/1220
  • Question by: Alex Wilson
  • Meeting date: 22 May 2025
Many motorists have had the distressing experience of having been victims of vehicle theft and then been chased by TfL for ULEZ fines incurred by the car thieves. The debts incurred are often passed to bailiffs for recovery. Why does TfL not follow other toll administrators such as Humber Tag and accept a police-provided Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) number as proof of the car’s theft?

Protecting Women’s Sport

  • Reference: 2025/1219
  • Question by: Alex Wilson
  • Meeting date: 22 May 2025
In your answer to Question No. 2025 / 0398, when I asked if you would encourage the Government to follow President Trump’s lead in banning biological males from competing in women’s sport, you said that you would not “contribute to the ongoing toxic narrative about trans people.” Following the Supreme Court ruling on the 16th April 2025 that the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex, would you like to take the opportunity to follow the Prime Minister in accepting the Court’s ruling and therefore revisit your answer to my question?
