  • Transport Safer Neighbourhood Teams (2) (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    I am sure it is right to do that because, leaving aside the question of the overground railway simply because they work on the Tube and the buses. Clearly, we all know that after 10.00 pm is very often one of the times when people most want to see a visible uniformed presence. I am wondering, given this difficulty which I hope can be resolved, and given the fact we have had to go through this sort of negotiation, would it perhaps in retrospect have been better to advise the Mayor to put in the money for fully warranted officers...

  • Transport Safer Neighbourhood Teams (2) (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    Thank you very much. Can I come back to Lord Tope's questions about shift patterns and so on for PCSOs and in particular in relation to their work on the overground railway. You will remember that there was some discussion of this at the September MPA meeting and the particular concern I have is that at the moment of course y it involves PCSOs finishing at 10.00 pm. Tim Godwin (Assistant Commissioner) told the Police Authority on 28 September that if they worked after 10.00 pm in the evening, staff would be entitled to an increase in salary which was...

  • Progress Update (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 14 June 2006
    What steps are going to be taken, and who is going to be taking the lead, in getting a real buy-in from the private sector? Ultimately we have got quite a lot of people from the public sector, distinguished people on the Board, but it is the private sector that ultimately will deliver this.

  • Progress Update (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 14 June 2006
    Thank you; that is helpful. You highlight the importance of the project delivery there. Which of the members of your Board will be taking responsibility, apart from yourself, for project management issues?

  • Progress Update (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 14 June 2006
    I am grateful to hear that, that is reassuring. I wonder if you had had the chance to read the report that David James did on the delivery of the Dome?

  • Progress Update (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 14 June 2006
    Can I welcome you, Mr Higgins, both from myself and my colleagues in the Conservative Group. The ODA has been described as the people who build the stage and the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (LOCOG) puts on the show. I just wonder if you can help me a little more in terms of what overlap you envisage in terms of operational work, of any kind, or budgets?

  • Progress Update (Supplementary) [14]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 14 June 2006
    Again, I think a number of us here will find that very reassuring too. May I finally ask a more parochial question? I was grateful to see your comments about community engagement. I represent a constituency in south London, which includes Crystal Palace, which is not going to be one of the principle sites. I wonder what steps you are going to be taking to deal with those parts of London which, on the face of it, may not be receiving a direct benefit in terms of legacy but who will be contributing through their council tax, to try and...

  • Provisions of Consultancy (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 18 January 2006
    The reason that I am interested in that is, is there going to be anything in addition to the fee, which was upfront and we have seen that, up to 90 days, how that is calculated? You are keeping the occupancy of the premises in Belgravia; that is part of the negotiated deal, I take it. Will there be other matters? For example, the council tax on that property, insurance, pension contributions ' will that cover the lot?

  • Provisions of Consultancy (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 18 January 2006
    What is the essential difference between what service you are going to be providing as a consultant, and what the role of Peter Hendy is as the Transport Commissioner, and what the role of Redmond O'Neill is as the (GLA's) Executive Director of Public Affairs and Transport? Where is the line between them? Is there a line or is there not?

  • Reasons for your leaving TfL (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 18 January 2006
    I understand what you have said, and I need not recap it. This is a challenging job but a lot has been done, but there is still more to do. There is much that you could be judged proud of and you are clearly anxious to be still in the policy and the strategic decisions, so to move to a consultant role was a slightly unnatural one for you. I assume that was your state of mind when you signed the new contract: that you were still up for it and ready to go.
