I understand that in 2019 TfL carried out a trial of a very powerful trolley-based vacuum cleaner on the Piccadilly line between Barons Court and Earl’s Court stations, which successfully reduced both inhalable and respirable dust and that last year TfL trialled a similar methodology on sections of the Bakerloo and Victoria lines. Please set out how TfL is now taking forward further action to tackle tube dust.

If Government continues to refuse to provide free evacuation plans to disabled residents in all low and high-rise blocks in London will you work with housing associations, boroughs and others to ensure that all disabled Londoners in such blocks have personal evacuation plans in place at no cost to leaseholders?

Not only are disabled Londoners in blocks less than seven storey (or under 18m) being refused a mandatory personal escape plan by Government, but many disabled Londoners and their neighbours are also being told they could have to pay for personal evacuation plans through service charges. Do you agree with this approach and what are you doing to ensure that personal evacuation plans are not added to service charges?

A key recommendation in part one of the Grenfell Tower Fire Report in 2019 was that individual emergency evacuation plans should be a legal requirement for all disabled individuals in high-rise blocks. Yet despite this recommendation Government has ruled out personal evacuation plans for disabled individuals in blocks less than seven storeys (or under 18m). What are you doing to highlight this issue with Government and ensure all disabled Londoners can be as safe as possible in their homes?

In answer to MQ 2021/1401 you stated that the Met only had two off-road motorcycles and only two trained officers to ride them. Illegal motorcycle use, especially in areas such as parks is an issue in certain areas of South London in particular. Do you share my concerns over the lack of off-road motorcycles and trained officers given the prevalence of these crimes in boroughs such as Sutton?
