Do you recognise that if TfL has taken insufficient steps to ensure passengers have sufficient space to socially distance on London Underground trains, responsibility for that failing would ultimately rest with you as Chairman of the TfL Board?

During the course of the Pandemic, TfL Rail employees have used handheld devices to count safe numbers onto their platforms to ensure safe numbers of passengers board their trains. What steps have you taken to ensure that passengers have sufficient space to socially distance on the London Underground trains that you directly control?

A constituent has asked me to table this question: Information from the Bond Owners’ Club, the Bond Bug Club, the Mini Owners’ Club of Great Britain, and the Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club all point to vehicles with a Historic Class or registered before 1973 being charged the ULEZ polluters’ “fine” in flagrant disregard of the Mayor’s oft-published policy that these few vehicles would not be subject to the £12.50 daily charge. Will he pause the expansion of ULEZ to the North and South Circulars until such time as TfL’s monitoring cameras and charging systems are fit for purpose and will he...

A constituent has asked me to table this question: Vehicles constructed three years or more before the date of their annual “MOT” inspection have to pass a strict emissions test every year. Does the Mayor believe that his non-Euro4 (non-Euro6 for diesels) qualification for not having to pay the ULEZ polluters’ fine to be somehow superior to the MOT test?

A constituent has asked me to table this question: Given that this expansion was a matter of recent political debate, and the impossibility of the motor trade dealing with a potential 15,500 vehicles per month being scrapped or traded in without further polluting consequences, will the Mayor give residents affected by the ULEZ expansion a period beyond 25th October to adjust?

A constituent has asked me to table this question: Given the Covid-related reduction in traffic levels, improvements in vehicle technology, the success of plug-in hybrid and plug-in electric vehicle sales and thus increasing numbers of non-Euro4 and Euro6 vehicles being taken off the road, would the Mayor keep the air quality situation under review and delay the expansion of ULEZ by a further 132 square miles to the North and South Circulars until further data is collected and collated?

A constituent has asked me to table this question: The Mayor claims that specialist Aether pollution level reports guide his decision to go ahead with the expansion of the ULEZ to cover 132 extra square miles on October 25th. But Aether state in their original 2013 report and confirm in their 2017 review that by 2025 only 72,000 of London's 9¼ million estimated (2021) population will be subject to levels of pollution greater than maximum EU recommended levels, and by 2030 none at all. With 60 percent of those 72,000 residents in Tower Hamlets, Westminster, Kensington & Chelsea, and Hammersmith...

A constituent has asked me to table this question: The new twin-bore tunnel at Silvertown, within the extended ULEZ, will effectively eliminate congestion and improve air quality around the Blackwall Tunnel approach, with no increase in carbon emissions. This has not been taken into account in the Aether specialist reports’ predictions that the forward effects of ULEZ and its expansion have been based on. Does the Mayor agree that the Silvertown Tunnel will further reduce pollution levels and the need for ULEZ extension from 25th October?

In response to my question 2021/1940, you said your “priorities will be to continue to work with the most excluded groups; to tackle stigma at both the internal and societal levels as well as in the NHS; and planning for the future of HIV care to meet the needs of people living with HIV alongside other complex health conditions.” What immediate actions will you be taking to address these and what targets have you set?
