  • Removing masks during marches

    • Reference: 2011/1630
    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 18 May 2011
    Following my December 2010 MQT question - when I asked for a tightening of laws around wearing masks at protests - does the Mayor welcome Theresa May's announcement that police should have the power to remove face-coverings during marches?

  • Thieves targeting Jewish artefacts

    • Reference: 2011/1628
    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 18 May 2011
    Is the Mayor concerned by the recent series of targeted burglaries of synagogues, Jewish schools and other Jewish premises in Barnet? Is the Mayor satisfied in the robustness of the Metropolitan Police's response, and will he ensure that the Met Police continues to put anti-Semitic crime high on its agenda in Barnet and other boroughs with significant Jewish communities?

  • Transport Legacy (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 18 May 2011
    ): Mr Mayor, would you accept that my constituents at the moment cannot move for falling over TfL investment in outer London; the investment in Henlys Corner coinciding with the Bounds Green investment on the North Circular? But would you also accept that my constituents should in fact be giving thanks in the streets, not just for that investment, but for the vastly improved service on the Northern line, for the decision to remove traffic lights at Stirling Corner, for TfL's complete change of policy on traffic lights, for the hugely increased night bus service, and for the many other...

  • Outer London Commission's Recommendations (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 18 May 2011
    Mr Mayor, as you will have noted, Monday, 16 May was Middlesex Day, marked by the flying of the flag of the ancient county of Middlesex outside Eland House at Whitehall. Of course, many of the villages and towns that make up outer London that you have just referred to lie in the traditional county of Middlesex and are represented by Members sitting around this table. Will you ensure that the traditional county of Middlesex, beloved of many Londoners and many of our constituents, will not disappear from the folk and civic memory of this great city?

  • Thieves targeting Jewish artefacts (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 18 May 2011
    Mr Mayor, I am grateful for that. I am aware in my constituency that four synagogues, a Jewish school and the home of a rabbi have been targeted. As you rightly say, we do not know whether these are anti-Semitic crimes or just general burglaries, but of course I think the definition of a hate crime is that the victim has to think it is a hate crime and then it is, so they are something. Another of the drivers behind this, of course, is the rise in the value of precious metals and I know members of the Asian...

  • EU Extension on Air Quality (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 18 May 2011
    Brian Coleman (AM): Mr Mayor, will you accept there is some concern in the voluntary sector across London, particularly from youth organisations and others that run minibuses and so on, and will you ask officers of Transport for London (TfL) to do a piece of work on engaging with the voluntary sector and explaining what the LEZ means? Will you if necessary look at exemptions? Particularly I am thinking of uniformed youth organisations who are deeply concerned that they may have to replace their minibuses at a time when their funds are limited.

  • Cycle Super Highway 2 (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 18 May 2011
    Mr Mayor, would you accept, that as you are somebody who ran on a platform of rights for the boroughs and as those of us who believe in the rights of boroughs, it is perfectly legitimate for individual boroughs to take a strong view and a strong stance on what they should or should not have in their boroughs? These are right and properly matters for local councils to determine, whether they are Labour, Liberal Democrat or Conservative. It is not up to Members of this Assembly - or London-wide - to dictate to individual boroughs what they should and...

  • Mayor's Oral Update (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 18 May 2011
    Thank you, Madam Chairman. Mr Mayor, would you accept that a vast majority of Londoners expect you to take a tough line with the leadership of trade unions who are clearly pursuing agendas for political purposes, out of touch with their ordinary hard working and decent members? What you also suggested, in your second mayoral term, which we are all looking forward to, is the relationship between LU and its various trade unions is a key area that you have to tackle. Would you further accept that perhaps the Government should deliver on its end of trade union reform as...

  • Cost to GLA Family of July 7th bombing inquiry

    • Reference: 2011/0975
    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 23 March 2011
    What costs have been incurred to date by the Greater London Authority and it's Functional Bodies in relation to the Inquests into the 7th July 2005 terrorist murders ?

  • Cost of Camden SNT bases

    • Reference: 2011/0952
    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 23 March 2011
    According to a recent FOI, the new West Hampstead SNT base cost the taxpayer almost one million pounds, and yet an SNT policeman's role involves spending most of their time out on the beat. These spiralling SNT base costs work out, across Camden, at twenty three thousand pounds per officer. i) Will the Mayor agree to review these extortionate costs? ii) Should officers, instead, be attached to established police stations, in light of the fact that SNT bases are closed to the public?
