Fiona Twycross AM: I wanted to correct the impression that was given that the way it has been operating at the moment has been simply about opposition Members [on LFEPA] getting at the Mayor. The fact is that the Mayor has insisted on managing by Direction even when there has not been an impasse, including on issues over which there has been cross‑party agreement by LFEPA Members. I just wondered if you could focus a little bit on what impact the Mayor’s insistence on management by Direction has had. To be honest, we have had Directions on all sorts of...

Richard Tracey AM: Chairman, probably this is one for you as the politician of the two of you. The fact is, surely, that government, particularly local government, has been changing very considerably over recent years. That is accepted. The straight point to you: is it not correct that perhaps LFEPA in its current form is out of date and past its sell‑by date, really?

Fiona Twycross AM: We obviously have to make sensible use of resources in the face of cuts. Some of the new technology that could come online is really interesting and will offer exciting possibilities, but do you agree with the Londoner who contacted me yesterday to say that £283,000 for a website rebuild is bordering on scandalous?

Thank you. Ms Shawcross has the floor for a point of personal explanation because I am sure she will want to tell us she is not an outrider.

1)How much will it cost to implement your planned mobile phone use on a. Tube stations b. Tube trains? 2)Do you expect this scheme to be a cost burden on London Underground or a revenue raiser?

Further to my previous question asked in 2003 (1032/2003), please can you advise what progress has been made to tackle the epidemic of vandalism on buses in South East London, and whether offences have decreased as a result.

• Meeting date: 20 November 2002

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. This morning because of the Fire Service dispute, I intend to use my powers under Standing Order 2.40 first to take an item of urgent business, which is a statement from the Chair of LFEPA and to vary the order of business to take that first. I imagine the Mayor, when he arrives, will also want to say something on this matter, as part of his update. What I intend to do is to allow 25 minutes of questions on the Mayor's update during which period questions will also be addressed to the Chair of...

Would the Chair of LFEPA accept that from the Liberal Democrats side we have been supportive of the basic position that more money is possible and is justified but only in return for modernised working practices? And if so, will she accept that too few people in the public, in the media, actually understand the extent of the current practices and what is required? Will she agree to make it clearer exactly what changes we are asking for in terms of working practices? Because most people simply do not understand how inflexible they are. As far as the Mayor is...
