Fulfilling accepted bookings

  • Reference: 2019/17460
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 12 September 2019
In response to question 2019/14346, the Mayor stated ‘indeed I would expect private hire companies to make every effort to fulfil bookings they have accepted’. Why is this not a condition of licence?

Improving Safety in PHVs' Consultation

  • Reference: 2019/17459
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 12 September 2019
Will the Mayor acknowledge that the continued delay in releasing findings from the 'Improving Safety in PHVs' Consultation is likely to result in the failure to implement promises in his Taxi & Private Hire action plan before his mayoral term ends?

Taxi with Well-Being Issue seeking support

  • Reference: 2019/17456
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 12 September 2019
Are you aware that a taxi driver has reportedly recently been told in a telephone conversation with LTPH that his taxi licence is under review despite both you and TfL telling drivers that they should "empower" themselves and seek support for any well-being issue? Do you recognise that this contradicts your previous messages with regards to drivers seeking support?

Homelessness and crime

  • Reference: 2019/17455
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 12 September 2019
Centrepoint’s recent report “Escaping the Trap” documents the considerable overlap between involvement in criminal activity and housing instability. Will the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime ensure the Metropolitan Police take a greater role in responding to homelessness, initially by introducing a “commitment to refer” people experiencing, or at risk, of homelessness to their local authority for support?

TfL Tracking (3)

  • Reference: 2019/17451
  • Question by: Gareth Bacon MP
  • Meeting date: 12 September 2019
How has the fact that their mobile phones will now be tracked on the Underground network been conveyed to passengers, given they do not seemingly have the opportunity to opt out of it?

TfL Tracking (2)

  • Reference: 2019/17450
  • Question by: Gareth Bacon MP
  • Meeting date: 12 September 2019
Can you detail any advice you and/or TfL have sought or received (including but not limited to from the ICO) regarding the data protection implications of this tracking?

TfL Tracking (1)

  • Reference: 2019/17449
  • Question by: Gareth Bacon MP
  • Meeting date: 12 September 2019
From 8 July, TfL have been tracking passenger movements using the Underground’s Wi-Fi system and mobile phones, to gain data on how the transport network is being used. It has been reported that the system will track a mobile phone and provide the relevant data, even if the phone is not connected to the Wi-Fi network. Can you confirm whether that is correct?

Metropolitan Police - UAV/Drone

  • Reference: 2019/17448
  • Question by: Gareth Bacon MP
  • Meeting date: 12 September 2019
It was reported that, in July, the Metropolitan Police would trial the use of drones/UAVs to monitor road users. Can you confirm whether this trial went ahead, which behaviours the drones were used to monitor, and provide details on the number of fines, penalty points, cautions or any other resulting enforcement action?
