  • Key Challenges for the London Fire Brigade (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Leonie Cooper
    • Meeting date: 08 February 2018
    Leonie Cooper AM: Thank you very much, Chair. Like other Assembly Members, I would like to join with adding my congratulations to both of you. It seems very appropriate in this week, when we have just celebrated the 100th anniversary of some women being given the vote and changes to the Representation of the People Act, to see both a female Commissioner and also yet another woman Deputy Mayor. I am very pleased to say that the Mayor has made that part of his modus operandi , it would be fair to say, in who he has appointed as his...
  • Key Challenges for the London Fire Brigade (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Florence Eshalomi MP
    • Meeting date: 08 February 2018
    Florence Eshalomi AM: Good morning to you both. I wanted to add my congratulations to both of you for your new appointments. I do remember watching the tragedy of Grenfell unfold because my son was just a week old and so we were watching the news all night long. I just commend you both for the courage and leadership that you showed through some of the difficult challenges that London has witnessed over the last year. I wanted to focus on some of the work that the LFB leads on youth engagement and how we get our young people involved...
  • Key Challenges for the London Fire Brigade (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 08 February 2018
    Jennette Arnold OBE AM: Thank you, Acting Chair, Deputy Chairman. Commissioner, I have some questions for you and, like my colleagues, let me add my congratulations to you on your appointment as the first female Fire Commissioner. Now, I heard the answers you gave to my colleague Assembly Member Russell’s questions about gender and so I want to ask now specifically about racial diversity. From the LFB’s monitoring data of December 2017, I see here that from the operational staff of 4,612, 606 were of BAME heritage: 13.14%. We will all know that that is quite woeful. Can I just...

    • Question by: Tony Devenish
    • Meeting date: 08 February 2018
    Tony Devenish AM: Good morning, Deputy Mayor. If we tried to paint a picture of the LFB in, say, eight years, 2026, could you paint me some big pictures of what the real differences will be, please?

    • Question by: Onkar Sahota
    • Meeting date: 08 February 2018
    Dr Onkar Sahota AM: First of all, let me add my congratulations on your nomination, Dr Fiona Twycross, as the Deputy Mayor and also your reappointment, Commissioner, to the post. I want to talk about the assistance given to the firefighters and to operational and non-operational staff after the tragic event of Grenfell, and ask what support was given to the fire service.
  • Reasons for your leaving TfL (Supplementary) [15]

    • Question by: Geoff Pope
    • Meeting date: 18 January 2006
    Was it your suggestion, the sums of money you were going to acquire as a consultant and the one-off payment? If you add up the sums, as far as we know, you will be earning in the first two years just as much as you were before, but working less. Was that your terms or was that the Mayor's terms?
  • Reasons for your leaving TfL (Supplementary) [16]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 18 January 2006
    I would like to return to your reasons for leaving TfL early. Obviously there has been a lot of press speculation about the fact that maybe you had disagreed and fallen out with the Mayor. That would not be surprising because I would expect that you would have some disagreements over working together for that amount of time. Could you just tell us what your most significant disagreement has been with the Mayor?
  • Terms of the termination of your engagement to which TfL have agreed. (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 18 January 2006
    Sally Hamwee (Chair): I explained when I wrote to you ' I think it was before Christmas ' that we would ask about the financial details because it is a very particular, very unusual position that you are in, very much one of public interest. John Biggs (AM): The question was to ask you for a list of the contractual benefits to which you are entitled up to 31 January. Could you tell us how many crates of claret, how many rooms at the Savoy, how many transatlantic flights, how many gold-plated telephones you get as part of your contract?
  • Terms of the termination of your engagement to which TfL have agreed. (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 18 January 2006
    Would anything in that contract prevent you, for example, from revealing details of discussions between yourself and the Mayor on the reasons for you leaving?
  • Terms of the termination of your engagement to which TfL have agreed. (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Peter Hulme Cross
    • Meeting date: 18 January 2006
    If I could dwell on examples, there has been some press speculation about the quota of business-class or first-class transatlantic flights that are afforded to you. There has been speculation about the catering bills; some cuttings from the Evening Standard suggest you are fed to a far higher standard than humble Assembly Members, for example. There has been other stuff like that, and I suppose it may be viewed as nosiness but I guess there is an aspect of public interest as to what perks there are around your employment and whether there is a transparency and understanding about those.
