  • Question by: Emma Best
  • Meeting date: 15 March 2024
In response to question 2024/0753, you stated that ‘far from being a failure’ Solar Together had been ‘successful’. Do you think this would be surprising news to the 1500+ people who had cause to submit a complaint regarding the scheme?

Drug Poisoning Rate

  • Reference: 2024/0935
  • Question by: Andrew Boff
  • Meeting date: 15 March 2024
Given that London's drug poisoning death rate is at its highest in more than 20 years, will you support the motion recently passed by the Assembly calling for you to commit £150,000 to fund two drug testing centres, to provide free, confidential and professional drug checking, as well as other healthcare intervention, training and workshops? Based on a model used in Bristol, adopting this scheme could help to make a significant difference in reducing drug-related harm.

Silvertown Tunnel Follow Up (10)

  • Reference: 2024/0930
  • Question by: Hina Bokhari OBE
  • Meeting date: 15 March 2024
Re my question 2024/0527: You state: 'The Silvertown Tunnel scheme, including the user charge and new zero emission bus network, has been designed to ensure that there is no material impact in the number of vehicle trips across the river.' Can you please confirm that this is in fact incorrect, and that opening the Silvertown Tunnel, whether or not it is tolled, and whether or not zero emission buses are used, always substantially increases cross-river traffic, and local pollution, and carbon emissions, compared to an otherwise identical situation in which Silvertown is not opened to general traffic?
