    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?

    • 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?

    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.

    • 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?

    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?
  • Youth Violence (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Richard Barnbrook
    • Meeting date: 13 July 2011
    My voice is loud enough I do not need the camera, thank you very much, anyway. Mr Mayor, it does seem rather peculiar that the last question was about knife crime, as Joanne herself had to come forward with it, it does seem a bit peculiar that you sort of jumped the gun especially since the last four years I have mentioned to you and this Chamber again and again about knife crime. So the question is, and I think you are aware of it here, is do you really feel that the job you are doing is sufficient enough...
  • Immigration

    • Reference: 2011/1656
    • Question by: Richard Barnbrook
    • Meeting date: 15 June 2011
    Work and Pensions Minister Iain Duncan Smith said that large-scale immigration has made the poor poorer in the UK with thousands more people chasing unskilled jobs. Do you agree with the minister's comments and has mass immigration impacted Londoners living standards in contributing to make the poor poorer?
  • Asylum

    • Reference: 2011/1654
    • Question by: Richard Barnbrook
    • Meeting date: 15 June 2011
    You have been calling for an amnesty for illegal immigrants since your election in 2008. Does the recently reported 161,000 + Asylum Seekers / Refugees/ Immigrants given leave to stay in Britain satisfy that call and will you now state that those remaining here illegally must be deported in the interests of social cohesion in London?
  • Social Inclusion and Health

    • Reference: 2011/1655
    • Question by: Richard Barnbrook
    • Meeting date: 15 June 2011
    In your update between 10 March to 4 May you highlighted eight events or celebrations in respect of groups and organisations whose origins in my opinion do not appear to originate in the capital. This has been a constant trend in your updates since your election and no doubt underlines your determination to champion diversity. However, very rarely, if ever, do you champion events of non-immigrant Londoners, patriotism or the great historical legacies of London together with Londoners contribution to the world. Why is that?
