• Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
• Meeting date: 06 September 2018

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Thank you. Mr Mayor, just ten weeks ago, in answer to a Mayoral question (MQ), you stated, “The Elizabeth line remains on course to open as planned in December 2018”. The Commissioner, in the TfL Board report of 25 July [2018] stated, “Crossrail remains on course to open as planned in December”. Sir Terry, on 6 June, when the Transport Committee visited Tottenham Court Road with you, you gave me an absolute assurance that the opening of Crossrail would be in December. You even confirmed the date, Sunday, 9 December when the Queen would be opening...

Florence Eshalomi AM: Thank you. To come back to Crossrail, on this side [of the table] we definitely recognise the scale of this project but once completed it will be a big success for London. I am definitely looking forward to when it opens. You may be aware of Rob Holden’s [CBE, Chairman, High Speed 1] letter last week in The Times where he stated, “The problems with Crossrail arose from the decision taken in 2011 to delay the procurement of new rolling stock, a decision that has affected the commissioning of those new trains ... signalling was always going...

Caroline Russell AM: Thank you, Chairman. I want to ask about the experience of the passengers who are waiting to use this line but before I get on to those questions I want to pick up on something that Sir Terry said at the very beginning. You said, “We mitigated one risk and others materialised”. I wonder if you could expand on that a bit more, whether that is what has caused this decision about the delay.

Keith Prince AM: Thank you, Chairman. Good morning, Sir Terry. I am trying to get some dates straight in my head. You mentioned a Board meeting in July [2018] where it was raised that there could be problems. Could you tell me the date of that meeting in July, please?

• Question by: Stephen Knight
• Meeting date: 02 December 2015

What role are advances in technology playing in the Brigade's work, both in terms of new challenges posed and new tools available to it, or likely to become available to it in the near future?

• Question by: Roger Evans
• Meeting date: 02 December 2015

Roger Evans AM: If you consider the 13 appliances that you are considering taking away plus the ones that were removed before, I believe the saving is around £25 million. If by some miracle you were to have £25 million returned to your budget, Commissioner, would you ideally spend it on putting those appliances back or would you have other priorities that you think would keep London safer?

• Question by: James Cleverly
• Meeting date: 02 December 2015

James Cleverly AM MP: I am happy for either the Commissioner or the Chairman to answer this. When the traditional disposition of London’s fire stations was brought about, I suppose, with the early 20th century expansion, is it fair to say that fire and fire risk was the single biggest driving factor in the equipment disposition of fire stations and fire appliances?

• Question by: Onkar Sahota
• Meeting date: 02 December 2015

Dr Onkar Sahota AM: This is a question about LSP5 seeing one appliance go away in Hayes and now the risk of another appliance going away in Ealing. Can you tell me what the impact has been across my constituency, West London, of losing the appliance from Hayes and what the impact will be of losing one in Ealing?

• Question by: Navin Shah
• Meeting date: 02 December 2015

Navin Shah AM: I have a couple of questions to the Commissioner. Given the safety risks from the scale and nature of the changes and cuts that will be faced by the LFB over the next years, how can you meaningfully get the views of London’s firefighters and their representatives?

• Question by: Andrew Dismore
• Meeting date: 02 December 2015

Andrew Dismore AM: Just to build on Val’s point, it is also important that we really promote first aid training in schools. I remember doing it when I was in the Sea Scouts and then, 20 years later, actually having to do it for real. It did take the ambulance some time to get there. Unfortunately, the chap died, but I did bring him back twice. The point I wanted to make is for Ron, really, and it is what Gareth said about the police doing co-responding, which they are. I was discussing this with a senior police officer the...
