  • Question and Answer Session: Policing (Supplementary) [19]

    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 01 December 2022
    Emma Best AM: Thank you, Chair. I just wanted to pick up on that point earlier about the language used, and that applies to parliamentary parties as well. The opposition particularly has to be really careful not to dehumanise the Government and politicians of the party in charge on the day. I and many of my colleagues receive death threats. We walk out of this building and do not have security surrounding us. That comes when opposition politicians call us ‘scum,’ and when they incite and praise violence. I stand with the Mayor. I see your Twitter and that is...

  • Question and Answer Session: Policing (Supplementary) [20]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 01 December 2022
    Joanne McCartney AM: Yes, thank you. My first question is for Sir Mark. Is the MPS good at supporting victims through the criminal justice service?

  • Question and Answer Session: Policing (Supplementary) [21]

    • Question by: Susan Hall
    • Meeting date: 01 December 2022
    Susan Hall AM: T hank you. Mr Mayor, I do not know what is happening. We have been agreeing an awful lot today, which is somewhat unusual; however, I want to bring your attention to something. All of us agree that our police officers are invaluable, as are firefighters, ambulance drivers and so on. Many of them, because of the cost of housing in London, have to come in from outside. Consequently, quite naturally, the Metropolitan Police Federation is incensed that you are going to expand the Ultra-Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) because it would mean that so many officers, who...

  • Question and Answer Session: Policing (Supplementary) [22]

    • Question by: Tony Devenish
    • Meeting date: 01 December 2022
    Tony Devenish AM: Thank you, Chair. I am going to follow the Chair’s request earlier, Sir Mark, in terms of South Hampstead and also ask if you could look at blatant drug dealing in Earl’s Court. My wider question is: do you think, once you have been in office for a good year, we could get rid of blatant drug dealing? It has become far more blatant right across London in recent years. It really does - I use an old-fashioned expression - lower the tone of an area. It is all about trying to reassure Londoners that we are...

  • Question and Answer Session: Policing (Supplementary) [23]

    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 01 December 2022
    Emma Best AM: Thank you. Mr Mayor, to come back to the point I was making earlier - and I should have made this clearer at the time - I was speaking recently to someone and I had that conversation about professionals. I said: “Sometimes it is just easier to not say what you do.” They were a police officer and they said: “Yes, same for me.” It made me realise that it is that language problem, and police officers face that too, especially this new phrase coming in from America: ‘ACAB’. I hope I do not need to say...

  • Question and Answer Session: Policing (Supplementary) [24]

    • Question by: Siân Berry
    • Meeting date: 01 December 2022
    Siân Berry AM: Mr Mayor, in relation to police live access to ANPR cameras for the wider ULEZ, you seem to have just said, “They do have access,” followed up by, “They will have access.” At the present time, is it ‘will’ or ‘do?’

  • What are the biggest challenges with regards to policing and crime in London, and how are you and the Metropolitan Police Service delivering for Londoners? Police and Crime Plan (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Unmesh Desai
    • Meeting date: 02 December 2021
    Unmesh Desai AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. Good morning, Commissioner. Mr Mayor, I noted your answer to the Chair’s lead-off question, but can I ask you if you can be more specific and use some examples of how your new Police and Crime Plan will address the challenges we face in London today? Looking back, what do you feel are the key achievements of the 2016 to 2021 Police and Crime Plan?

  • Question and Answer Session: COVID-19 Recovery - The Next Steps for London

    • Reference: 2023/2660
    • Question by: Navin Shah
    • Meeting date: 04 March 2021
    What are the next steps and priorities for London's recovery bodies, and what should recovery from COVID-19 look like?

  • Question and Answer Session: COVID-19 Recovery - The Next Steps for London (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Unmesh Desai
    • Meeting date: 04 March 2021
    Unmesh Desai AM: Good morning, Deputy Mayor. Yes, that was a comprehensive background you gave in your answers to the question from my colleague, the Chair of the Assembly, and to some extent you have partly answered some of the questions I was going to ask you, but I will still formally put those questions to you. What specific role did the London Recovery Board, the Strategic Co-ordination Group (SCG) and the London Transition Board have in the national roadmap out of lockdown?

  • Question and Answer Session: COVID-19 Recovery - The Next Steps for London (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Peter Whittle
    • Meeting date: 04 March 2021
    Peter Whittle AM: Good morning, Chair. Good morning to the guests. For my question, could I start by asking Matthew about small businesses? It might be most pertinent. It is a question I asked of the Mayor quite recently. What will you do to encourage people to return to their places of work as much as possible? When we are talking about the economic microsystems and ecosystems of the city, it is people not being in offices and so on that basically will cause - and indeed has caused - the system to collapse completely. The point has to be...
