  • Approach of Chairman of LFEPA (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 11 November 2009
    Occasionally we have a lively exchange but let us keep to matters of professional interest here. What insights did the report give you when it described you as being too confrontational? What did you take away from that?

  • Budget Savings (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 03 December 2008
    I am not down to speak but I am just intrigued how you reconcile your rather bombastic style as Chair with the need for you to preside over a fire authority which is multi-party and which no party will have a majority and, therefore, you need to rule through a consensus? Do you lie awake at night thinking about this? I am sure you do not.

  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [23]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    Could you confirm that the Mayor receives numerous requests from cities across the world for him to visit, and that he only accepts a small minority of those, given pressures on his time?

  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [26]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    So if it was the case that the Mayor was in the habit of junketing around the world, this would be a crime committed by many other cities around the world as well?
