• Question by: Neil Garratt
• Meeting date: 06 July 2023

Neil Garratt AM: Good morning, good to see you at a Plenary, Mr Mayor. A question about bus drivers and hot weather. If you listen to bus drivers, one of the issues that they bring up a lot -- not so much this week, we are enjoying a cooler July week -- but a couple of weeks ago we had a period of hot weather, which is normal for the time of year, and a huge number of complaints from bus drivers that the conditions that they were operating in in their cab was completely in excess of what is...

Sem Moema AM: Thank you, Chair, and good morning to you, Mayor Khan and Commissioner. My question is about TfL’s delivery of its 20,000 housing target. You have got a target for 20,000 homes by 2031, of which half - I am pleased to hear - will be affordable. However, on 13 June [2023] your Finance Officer said that “the focus is on bringing forward new schemes”, so taking things through planning. Given the challenges in the housing sector at the moment with interest rates, labour issues and maybe concerns that potential partners might have about their own financial position...

Sakina Sheikh AM: Thank you, Chair. Good morning to you, Mr Mayor and Commissioner; it is great to have you here with us. I think it is a well-known fact that all roads lead to Lewisham, Assembly Member Duvall’s patch. Unfortunately, all Tube lines do not lead to Lewisham. In fact, no Tube lines lead to Lewisham. I am so pleased for the laughter because I really worked on that one. We, as you know, are incredibly keen for the extension of the Bakerloo line that was promised and that case was made by Ifia Conteo , a really articulate...

• Question by: Leonie Cooper
• Meeting date: 06 July 2023

Léonie Cooper AM: -- if I can bring us back to my question. Mr Mayor, you will have seen, as we have all just been seeing in our phones, that the London Ambulance Service, the police and the Fire Brigade have all been updating us on a very serious incident that has just taken place in Camp Road in Merton in my constituency where a number of children have been casualties. I understand it is not terror related. I am sure you would want to take an opportunity to send your thoughts and prayers to the parents of the children...

• Question by: Joanne McCartney
• Meeting date: 06 July 2023

Joanne McCartney AM: Thank you. My question is for the Commissioner, and I am going to raise the issue of the Piccadilly line signalling upgrade. It is good to hear that you have better relations with Government than previously. We do know that the new trains will increase capacity on the line by 23 percent, but if it were to be given the go-ahead, the signalling would increase capacity by 64 percent. Can I ask you about the state of those negotiations and are you hopeful that we will get that capital funding?

• Question by: Len Duvall OBE
• Meeting date: 06 July 2023

Len Duvall AM: Thank you. Given the Government is floundering on a whole number of issues, including transport, it has sort of lost control of the agenda for change in some ways. Therefore, I go back to the growth agenda if we go back to a question that my colleague earlier answered about suburban rail and the expansion. Is it not about time we brought back on the original proposal that TfL co-ordinates London and the South east that enjoyed - enjoyed - cross-party support and from officials but was stopped because of an ideological reason from the DfT by...
