Crossrail

  • Reference: 2011/2134
  • Question by: Richard Barnbrook
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2011
By the time Rob Holden leaves Crossrail, his remuneration for 2 and a bit years service will be in the region of £1.7m, in your opinion has this been money well spent?

Council Tax

  • Reference: 2011/2133
  • Question by: Richard Barnbrook
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2011
Apparently London councils failed to collect council tax totalling £116.8m in the last financial year, does this financially impact the Greater London Authority in any way?

Immigration and Jobs

  • Reference: 2011/2132
  • Question by: Richard Barnbrook
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2011
A recent report showed that the overwhelming majority of new jobs in the capital were taken by foreign-born migrants with a 150,000 fewer British born people in work in the capital. Are you concerned about this trend bearing in mind 126,500 Londoners have claimed benefit continuously for the last 10 years?

London Hygiene

  • Reference: 2011/2131
  • Question by: Richard Barnbrook
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2011
Data collected by the Health and Public Services Committee indicate that there are 20% fewer local authority-maintained toilets are 20% less than a decade ago. Are you concerned, given the expected thousands of extra visitors in a short period of time at next year's Olympic and Paralympics, that London's hygiene will be compromised due to a lack of public toilet facilities?

Police Ethics

  • Reference: 2011/2130
  • Question by: Richard Barnbrook
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2011
I understand Jack Straw has accused the police of selling 'road crash victims details' to personal injury lawyers, do you know if the Metropolitan Police have engaged in this practice?

Knife Crime (2)

  • Reference: 2011/2128
  • Question by: Richard Barnbrook
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2011
Would it be fair to comment that unless the judiciary bring in seriously tough laws for carriers and users of knives in violent confrontation, no amount of taxpayer funded initiatives are going to bring this problem under proper control? Do you think the proposed law of a 6 month mandatory sentence for carrying a knife goes far enough in your quest to bring this menace under control in London?

Knife Crime

  • Reference: 2011/2127
  • Question by: Richard Barnbrook
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2011
Despite pouring vast amounts of taxpayers' money at various initiatives including Operation Blunt 1 and 2, Time for Action and Operation Daedalus, knife crime for 2010 was up 8% in London at 13,619 incidents! Why do you think this menace continues to increase on the streets of London and are Londoners being given poor value for money from the authorities charged with keeping London safe from knife crime?

Entry level jobs

  • Reference: 2011/2126
  • Question by: Darren Johnson
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2011
Given that each organisation in the GLA group has a different definition of entry-level jobs will you develop a consistent approach across the group?

Olympics and electric cars (2)

  • Reference: 2011/2125
  • Question by: Darren Johnson
  • Meeting date: 13 July 2011
How many electric vehicles will feature in the Olympic fleet and how many passengers will they carry?

Olympics and electric cars (1)

  • Reference: 2011/2124
