    • Question by: Hina Bokhari
    • Meeting date: 09 February 2023
    Thank you. I just want to start by recognising that the Fire Commissioner’s openness and honesty has been really appreciated by all of us in the wake of the Culture Review and the acceptance that you have given the 23 recommendations by Nazir Afzal [OBE, Chair, Independent Review into Culture of London Fire Brigade]. You also publicly apologised to Jaden Francois-Esprit’s mum, Linda, out there at the last FREP Committee meeting on Tuesday. However, Linda has said that she still feels that no one has been held accountable for Jaden’s death, and that the full extent of the trauma that...

  • Question and Answer Session: London Fire Commissioner and Deputy Mayor for Fire and Resilience (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Susan Hall
    • Meeting date: 09 February 2023
    Thank you. Morning, both. Deputy Mayor, there cannot be anybody around this table who was not horrified by the Cultural Review; some of us thought that it would be bad, but some of the things that were reported were absolutely disgraceful. Now, as normal, we ask for the Mayor to attend Plenary meetings because he is ultimately responsible politically.

  • 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.

Can you tell me, have you at least sorted out that particular issue that the HMICFRS were concerned about?
