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?

Shaun Bailey AM: Good morning, Commissioner. Good morning, Mr Mayor. I would like to address my first question to the Mayor. What are you and MOPAC doing to ensure that Londoners have faith and confidence in the police?

Tony Devenish AM: I have three points, please. Firstly, we are almost at Christmas and I want to wish my local BCU Merry Christmas and thank them for all the work they have done during the year. They have been fantastic. On a far darker note, you will have seen the video online this week on Monday night during Hanukkah on Oxford Street, the antisemitism incident. Please make sure you catch these vile people as soon as possible. My third point and my question is, we had a very, very interesting meeting yesterday on the [draft] Police and Crime Plan...

Your report calls for a 3rd runway at Heathrow to be mitigated by a number of measures including the banning of night flights. Can you confirm that, if those mitigating factors were not introduced then you would no longer support a 3rd runway?

Kit Malthouse AM MP: Sir Howard, I wanted to ask a little further about night flights. When we last met when you appeared in front of the Assembly, you revealed to me, as somebody who lives under the flight path, this surprising idea that no flights land at Heathrow between 6.00am and 6.20am and that there was a moratorium on that. Since then, Heathrow rather helpfully produces on its website the actual landing times of flights and, of course, there are dozens and dozens of flights that land between 6.00am and 6.20am every single morning, including this morning. Would you...

Do you accept that a key part of planning for Britain’s future aviation needs is ensuring that the hub airport has space to expand further?

• Question by: Richard Tracey
• Meeting date: 18 June 2014

Richard Tracey AM: Can I question you a bit further on Heathrow? I do not know where you live, Sir Howard. I live in Wandsworth and a lot of my residents, of course, suffer from these early-morning flights you have been talking about. Indeed, Mr Graham was at the meeting a while ago and heard that people from Lambeth were complaining in exactly the same way as we are in Wandsworth. Do I take it that you accept that the current levels of noise, particularly early-morning noise, going into Heathrow are unacceptable for the millions of people who live underneath...

• Meeting date: 18 June 2014

Tony Arbour AM: Arising from the last point that Mr Tracey raised, you told us that on the basis of what you already knew it is likely to be true that a third runway is going to generate less noise than two runways. I may say that my constituents in Hounslow and Richmond have frequently heard assertions saying, “More means less”, which has not proved to be so. I wonder if you can tell us on what you base your certainty that there will be a smaller noise footprint from a third runway than there is from the existing two...

• Meeting date: 18 June 2014

Kit Malthouse AM: I wanted to ask, in terms of the studies you do, whether you are looking at safety. Within living memory we have the Staines air disaster from Heathrow. It was only in 2009 I think that plane made it in over the fence, you remember, and crash-landed just on the apron. We have been lucky so far. The 118 people who died on the plane at Staines were not lucky but obviously you understand what I mean. I wondered whether you were looking at the possible impact or greater possibility of an impact of some sort of...

• Meeting date: 18 June 2014

Tony Arbour AM: The everyday aggravation which is caused by Heathrow to local residents is not just noise and what has been indicated is the considerable amount of traffic which causes congestion to local centres. Any expansion of Heathrow of necessity means there will be an increase in that traffic. You just made a reference to the congestion zone. My understanding of the congestion zone proposal by Heathrow is predicated on there being a fourth runway in addition to the one which is being proposed. Roger Evans AM (Chairman): That is the first question. Tony Arbour AM: I did mention...
