  • How are you seeking to transform the London Fire Brigade so that it is well equipped to keep Londoners safe in the future? LFB Transformation Delivery Plan (Supplement) [1]

    • Question by: Sakina Sheikh
    • Meeting date: 10 February 2022
    Sakina Sheikh AM: Good morning, Fiona and Andy, it is great to have you join us. It is so important that you have both already mentioned the Grenfell tragedy, a nightmare for many, but a reality for the residents who are still waiting for justice. It is a pertinent conversation to frame the rest of the discussion today about building safety. I wanted to start off by asking you, Fiona, specifically, what fire safety measures have been introduced into the planning system and how are they improving safety for Londoners?

  • How are you seeking to transform the London Fire Brigade so that it is well equipped to keep Londoners safe in the future? (Supplement) [4]

    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 10 February 2022
    In terms of the challenges faced by the LFB in the future, severe weather is having an impact, and in terms of flooding in particular, does the LFB have the equipment it needs and the right level of resource to respond to flooding in London now and in the future?

  • How are you seeking to transform the London Fire Brigade so that it is well equipped to keep Londoners safe in the future? Building Safety and Remediation (Supplement) [5]

    • Question by: Sem Moema
    • Meeting date: 10 February 2022
    Sem Moema AM: Thank you, Chair, I will do my best. I am really pleased to see the work that the LFB does with local authorities and civil servants. I have seen your work helping Hackney identify buildings at risk and to put in place those mitigations. The Grenfell incident had a huge impact and has really changed the way in which the LFB has had to work. I just wonder that, following [the Rt Hon] Michael Gove’s [MP, Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities] on building safety and remediation around levelling up, how you think that...

  • How are you seeking to transform the London Fire Brigade so that it is well equipped to keep Londoners safe in the future? London's Preparedness for a Terrorist Attack (Supplement) [6]

    • Question by: Unmesh Desai
    • Meeting date: 10 February 2022
    Deputy Mayor, how do you anticipate the refreshed review by Lord [Toby] Harris into London’s preparedness for a terrorist attack will impact upon the work of the LFB?

  • Addressing inequalities in Coronavirus response (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Susan Hall
    • Meeting date: 10 June 2021
    Susan Hall AM: This is addressed to the Mayor. Good morning. Do you think your Health in All Policies approach was successful when implementing your Street Space schemes across London?

  • Addressing inequalities in Coronavirus response (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Zack Polanski
    • Meeting date: 10 June 2021
    Zack Polanski AM: My question is for you, Mr Mayor, and then I will come to the Fire Commissioner. You spoke with Assembly Member Sheikh before about TfL and inequality. I want to ask you, though, about the LFB. What role does it have in tackling inequality in London? Would it be better for it to have a clear inequalities strategy?

  • Addressing vulnerabilities in the GLA and Functional Bodies (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Susan Hall
    • Meeting date: 10 June 2021
    Susan Hall AM: A very quick one, please, for Andy Roe. Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary, Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS) has identified several areas for improvement and I will talk to you at length about those another time. One, though, is providing practical training exercises at high-rise buildings for incident commanders and so on. You have mentioned 8,000 high-rise buildings in London. Can you tell me, have you at least sorted out that particular issue that the HMICFRS were concerned about?

  • Dissolution of LFEPA (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Fiona Twycross
    • Meeting date: 02 December 2015
    Fiona Twycross AM: I wanted to correct the impression that was given that the way it has been operating at the moment has been simply about opposition Members [on LFEPA] getting at the Mayor. The fact is that the Mayor has insisted on managing by Direction even when there has not been an impasse, including on issues over which there has been cross‑party agreement by LFEPA Members. I just wondered if you could focus a little bit on what impact the Mayor’s insistence on management by Direction has had. To be honest, we have had Directions on all sorts of...

  • Dissolution of LFEPA (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 02 December 2015
    Richard Tracey AM: Chairman, probably this is one for you as the politician of the two of you. The fact is, surely, that government, particularly local government, has been changing very considerably over recent years. That is accepted. The straight point to you: is it not correct that perhaps LFEPA in its current form is out of date and past its sell‑by date, really?

  • New Technology (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Fiona Twycross
    • Meeting date: 02 December 2015
    Fiona Twycross AM: We obviously have to make sensible use of resources in the face of cuts. Some of the new technology that could come online is really interesting and will offer exciting possibilities, but do you agree with the Londoner who contacted me yesterday to say that £283,000 for a website rebuild is bordering on scandalous?
