    • Reference: 2010/0108-1

    • Meeting date: 20 October 2010
    How have the prospects for families in housing need improved since the current Mayoralty began?
  • Strategic Leadership (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 20 October 2010
    Could you, Mr Blakeway, promise me not to carry anything over from the last administration with regard to housing? Could you promise three things really: first of all, could you promise not to disappoint Londoners with oversold targets that are unachievable? Could you promise me not to raise the aspirations of Londoners and then dash those hopes and blame someone else? Could you also promise not to build a home for somebody in housing need but actually deliver a rabbit hutch? So in short, can you assure me that the strategies will be realistic, achievable and honest, which would be...

    • Question by: Steve O'Connell
    • Meeting date: 20 October 2010
    Richard, a question for you. Would you not agree, following on from that debate you just had, that inflexible percentage targets are indeed a tired and lazy analysis of the needs of our residents?
  • Housing Devolution (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Steve O'Connell
    • Meeting date: 20 October 2010
    On the subject that Mike was pursuing about structure and powers, what thoughts have you got around devolving or increasing the powers of the Assembly around scrutiny in the new world?

    • Reference: 2008/0017-1
    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 03 December 2008
    How effective have your safer transport initiatives been at reducing crime and anti-social behaviour on public transport?
  • Numbers of Police Officers (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 03 December 2008
    Some police officers within the service are definitely in danger of losing the roles that they do now. They are members of the Metropolitan Police Trafficking Unit whose funding has been stopped by the Home Office; some £2.3 million. We have a motion on the agenda later today asking for support for that unit and I believe it will get cross-party support. Will you, Mr Mayor, make sure the money is available in the budget to carry on the unit's good work? It is £2.3 million, which is not a great amount when you consider the overall budget of the...
  • Safer Transport Initiatives (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 03 December 2008
    Richard Tracey (AM): Can I say that the indications to me from my constituents is that they are absolutely overjoyed by the Safer Transport Teams and the effectiveness that they are having, and well done to the Metropolitan Police Service for providing them. My question is, to what extent are the Safer Transport Teams able to work very closely with the British Transport Police and also to respond to the live CCTV (closed-circuit television) coverage of some of the buses, particularly? The other thing is can you explain to me how many of the teams are equipped with the small...
  • Safer Transport Initiatives (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 03 December 2008
    Whilst there is great rejoicing in my constituency over the TOCU PCSOs, some areas of my constituency, I am thinking for example of the Kentish Town ward, an area of significant crime, there are currently no PCSOs at all, for all sorts of reasons to do with vacancies, sickness and everything else. I suspect this is not the only ward in London in this position. Have we got a problem with PCSO recruitment, or is this a problem reserved for the Camden Town ward of Camden?
  • Oral Update (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 03 December 2008
    Can I ask how often you have been called in shore up leaks in the workings of Government and how often the Metropolitan Police is used for that?
  • Oral Update (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: James Cleverly
    • Meeting date: 03 December 2008
    Thank you, Chair. Mr Mayor, it is quite clear the implication that a number of members opposite are trying to make in their line of questioning. Rather than dancing around the issue and trying to muddy water, I would like to ask you a very explicit question, which I think is the question that they were trying to ask. Have you shared any operationally sensitive material that you may have received in your capacity as Chair of the MPA with Damian Green MP?
