Barclays sponsorship of cycle hire

  • Reference: 2012/2448
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 19 September 2012
Will you reconsider the damaging bike hire sponsorship deal with Barclays Bank if any of their senior employees are put in jail as a result of criminal prosecution instigated by the Serious Fraud Office?

Road Safety Budget

  • Reference: 2012/2447
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 19 September 2012
Your response to my question 1032/2012 on your road safety budget claimed that getting a precise figure on spending was 'complex'. However, given that both you and your predecessor managed to achieve this in the previous 12 years, including figures in numerous press releases and responses to my questions (e.g. 1365/2010 and 0628/2010), can you now provide me with the TfL figure?

20mph & cycle superhighway

  • Reference: 2012/2446
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 19 September 2012
At the Cycle Revolution meeting hosted by Kulveer Ranger in October 2010, a discussion was held about my idea of making all Cycle Superhighways 20mph. The minutes say that whilst there is no objection to this in principle, it is not seen as practical, but Kulveer asked for a wider strategy to be prepared "around this proposition" and Transport for London agreed to take this forward. May I have a copy of this strategy?

Heathrow Capacity

  • Reference: 2012/2445
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 19 September 2012
Given that only 15% of flights from Heathrow are for business purposes, do you feel that more could be done in the short term to adjust existing capacity to meet the needs of business by focusing slots upon the BRIC countries of Brazil, Russia, India and China?

  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 19 September 2012
Your manifesto pledged to establish a £35m revolving loan fund for SMEs. Can you update me on your progress in setting this up?

  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 19 September 2012
You promised the Federation of Small Businesses that you would require an Assistant Commissioner in the Met to be giving responsibility for business crime during the election campaign. Can you update me on your progress in making this appointment?

  • Question by: Jenny Jones

What information will you collect from employers when measuring progress towards your target of 20,000 high quality part time jobs?

Measuring part time jobs (1)

  • Reference: 2012/2441
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 19 September 2012
How will you ensure that full time jobs aren't converted into part time jobs and then counted as "new" part time jobs?

Part time jobs pledge

  • Reference: 2012/2440
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 19 September 2012
Currently a disproportionate number of part time job vacancies are offered at very low wages, making them unsuitable or difficult for parents returning to work. Will you therefore ensure that part time jobs created in the GLA group are offered at a variety of pay levels, and encourage the private sector to follow suit?

  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 19 September 2012
What are you doing to press the organisations listed as living wage employers in your previous 'fairer London' reports to become accredited living wage employers?
