  • 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?

  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: David Kurten
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    David Kurten AM: Good morning, everybody. My first question would go to David Bellamy. I think you would be the person to answer this, but if you are not you can pass it on. My question is, what remuneration will the members of the London Transition Board and London Recovery Board be receiving for their service?

  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: My questions are to start off with to John O’Brien. I want to ask about support for businesses in London, with a particular focus on the restaurant industry. According to data from the Office for National Statistics, as of July last year there were nearly 16,000 restaurants in London employing around 325,000 people. Clearly, the sector has been hit very hard by COVID-19. Data showed in March, before the pandemic had fully hit, that 71% more food and accommodation businesses closed this March than they had in the previous March. John, I wonder if you could...

  • London Recovery Board and London Transition Board (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Leonie Cooper
    • Meeting date: 02 July 2020
    Léonie Cooper AM: My first question is to David Bellamy and it is about the balance between lives and livelihoods. Many politicians and commentators have portrayed the journey out of lockdown as a trade-off between the economy and health and between lives and livelihoods. Do you agree that this is a false distinction and that there cannot really be a full economic recovery without the public being confident that going about daily life is safe?
