Data that I obtained through a Freedom of Information (FOI) request showed that the Government has only provided 141 London schools with air filters as part of their national scheme. Do you agree that this scheme should now be expanded and relaunched to ensure more London schools can tackle poor air quality and the transmission of COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses in the classroom?

Constituents asked me to investigate a lack of information about Metropolitan line trains at Northwood Hills station on Good Friday. They claim there were no staff at the station and recorded messages failed to mention why certain trains did not stop. TfL have since written to me to apologise. How do we ensure better customer service and information for passengers going forward?

There have been delays on the Metropolitan line and safety concerns have been expressed after a fault was found on some of the wheels. I know that the Mayor holds safety paramount and will not compromise it. Will the Mayor update me on the safety works going on with this line and also update me about when normal service shall resume?

Ealing Council is introducing new automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) camera technology as part of its enforcement against fly-tipping in the borough. The first is in Southall, with one in Northolt next in line. More than 1,000 reports of fly-tipped rubbish are reported every month in Ealing – about 35 a day. This costs more than a quarter of a million pounds a year to clean up. Whilst I recognise that you do not have any legal powers in the area, do you agree that this approach could usefully be replicated by other councils?

There is significant variation in the number of children being offered their first preference for primary school. Although the average from all of London is 87.9%, this ranges widely from 94% to 66% by borough. Given your previous comments on the importance of providing a good school place for every child in London, would you please outline what it is that makes one borough more successful at awarding a first-choice primary school than another?

A constituent claims his 2014 ‘clean diesel’ car, for which he pays £20 a year road tax, is apparently not green enough for ULEZ. He wants to know why he should have to replace it at a cost of thousands of pounds. Can you please explain why a car that costs so little to tax falls foul of ULEZ?

The Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) were relaxed under the Coalition Government, meaning landlords were not forced to upgrade their properties and the poor energy efficiency of homes in the PRS is one reason why energy bills are going to soar. Do you believe this relaxation was a mistake?

Do you believe councils in London should be given more resources so that they can support tenants living in the private rented sector when it comes to complaints and repairs?
