Your draft London Food Strategy states that you plan to undertake research to support the development of long-term solutions to the causes and impacts of food insecurity, including how we can measure its prevalence. Will you support the campaign by End Hunger UK and Emma Lewell-Buck MP who is calling on the Government to start measuring food insecurity across the UK through a Private Members Bill in October?

Are you concerned that food prices in London will rise as a result of leaving the EU and what impact will this have on Londoners? How can we mitigate the impact?

Double Decker Buses on Northwick Avenue

  • Reference: 2018/1681
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 21 June 2018
The situation is farcical as after a number of explorations including site visits with Transport for London, the issue about double decker buses remains a major problem on this road for residents and local councillors. Residents were told many months ago that double decker buses would no longer be used at weekends but they are still using the old DD buses at weekends and late into the evenings. They are often empty and blowing out pollution, keeping residents awake because they are so noisy. They are also shaking the houses as they pass and damaging our roads. We were also...

Issues concerning Harrow & Wealdstone Station

  • Reference: 2018/1680
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 21 June 2018
In the last few months I've had a number of complaints about the poor state of facilities at the above station raised by local residents, local councillors and the latest list of the following issues raised by a local public transport users association is set out below. Unfortunately, little or no progress has been made to resolve the complaints so I've been specifically asked to raise these with you to resolve the outstanding problems speedily.

Reducing child obesity

  • Reference: 2018/1679
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 21 June 2018
I welcome your proposal on banning junk food advertising across the entire Transport for London network. I know that you are doing a lot of work to eradicate this - but I wanted to find out what engagement you have had with boroughs across London as I know that some boroughs are doing some key work on this and it would be good to adopt some of their practices. For example, Brent Council has implemented healthy living schemes which include free swimming for under-16s during the school holidays and supporting primary schools through walking and running challenges. They have also...

Two Brent schools found to have illegal air pollution levels

  • Reference: 2018/1678
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 21 June 2018
I welcome the first of 50 air quality audits you have carried out across London. I was concerned to see that your audit revealed that children in two primary schools in my constituency (Borough of Brent) are routinely exposed to illegal levels of pollution. What measures do you plan to put in place in collaboration with Brent Council to improve the quality of air being breathed by pupils at John Keble in Harlesden and Ark Franklin in Kensal Rise?

World Sickle Cell Awareness Day

  • Reference: 2018/1676
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 21 June 2018
Further to your answer of Question 2018/1236, can you tell me which members of London's Deaf Community have you met from the British Deaf Association to progress implementation of the charter and what progress have you made so far?

Institutional Racism In Police

  • Reference: 2018/1675
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 21 June 2018
Neville Lawrence, the father of Stephen Lawrence, speaking on the 25th anniversary of his son's murder said "There is debate about racism, there are organisations set up to help to make people understand about racism, the police have been put under the spotlight because of Stephen's death." How does the Met Police compare from 25 years ago? Is the police still institutionally racist?

  • Question by: Onkar Sahota
  • Meeting date: 21 June 2018
The London Ambulance service have recently announced a plan to treat half of all 999 call patients at the scene. Given the impact it will have on the lives of Londoners what input has he had into the planning of this proposal and what strategy is in place to monitor its implementation and criteria to measure success?
