Fare evasion on the New Bus for London

  • Reference: 2012/0226
  • Question by: Darren Johnson
  • Meeting date: 25 January 2012
Can you confirm the arrangements to prevent fare evasion on your New Bus for London when conductors aren't present, as your publicity implies that passengers will be able to board and alight using all three doors as was the case with bendy buses?

Massey Shaw collection - Fire Brigade Museum

  • Reference: 2012/0225
  • Question by: Darren Johnson
  • Meeting date: 25 January 2012
Would you consider investigating a temporary relocation of the Massey Shaw collection at one of the London museums, such as the Imperial War Museum or the Victoria and Albert Museum, until suitable new location is found for the Fire Brigade Museum?

Storage of closed Fire Brigade Museum collection

  • Reference: 2012/0224
  • Question by: Darren Johnson
  • Meeting date: 25 January 2012
The Fire Brigade Museum collection contains some items of national historic importance such as the Massey Shaw display. Will you ensure that, until a new site can be found for the Fire Brigade museum, temporary storage of the collection is located in suitable storage where the condition of the collection is guaranteed and deterioration avoided?

Shark fins

  • Reference: 2012/0223
  • Question by: Darren Johnson
  • Meeting date: 25 January 2012
With over 70 million sharks killed every year for their fins, an extremely cruel and unsustainable practice, will you join me in welcoming the European Commission's recent proposal to completely ban shark finning in EU waters and by EU boats? Will you confirm that shark fin consumption would not be allowed under the GLA group's responsible procurement policies? What measures could the GLA group take to help end the sale and consumption of shark fin in the city, particularly in the run up to the 2012 Olympics?

Countdown rollout through LIPs

  • Reference: 2012/0222
  • Question by: Darren Johnson
  • Meeting date: 25 January 2012
How many Countdown signs are you expecting boroughs to roll out at bus stops through LIP funding in 2012/13? How many were paid for by this means in 2011/12?

Countdown rollout at bus stops

  • Reference: 2012/0221
  • Question by: Darren Johnson
  • Meeting date: 25 January 2012
Constituents have pointed out that the new text service for bus information costs a standard network rate plus 12p for the response, while smart phones are expensive to own and operate. Lower income residents therefore value Countdown signs at their bus stops. Did you carry out an equalities impact assessment when you decided to only place Countdown at 2,500 bus stops, leaving boroughs to fund extra signs out of their stretched LIP funding? If so, can I please have copies of relevant documentation?

Mental health stigma

  • Reference: 2012/0219
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 25 January 2012
TfL took the very welcome step of signing up to the Time to Change Pledge on the 1st December 2011, committing TfL to raising awareness about mental illness and to helping stop the stigma associated with it. Days later, your deputy chair of TfL described Ken Livingstone as 'schizophrenic' in relation to his fares policy. What action will you take on this and other cases to make good on TfL's pledge?

High Speed 2 support

  • Reference: 2012/0218
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 25 January 2012
Do you support the government's plans for HS2 in London?

High Speed 2 and Euston

  • Reference: 2012/0217
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 25 January 2012
Have you received assurances from the Government that they will fund extra capacity at Euston if High Speed Rail 2 does go ahead?
