• Question by: Caroline Russell
• Meeting date: 01 July 2021

Caroline Russell AM: I want to put my question to Daniel Bridge, the Programme Director for the Royal Docks team. City Airport sits in the heart of the Royal Docks Enterprise Zone. What impact is it having on the health of people already living in the area, and are you doing any work to address this?

• Meeting date: 01 July 2021

Zack Polanski AM: My question is also for Daniel. I am speaking to you from the Chamber at City Hall, which is on one of the more notorious public‑private spaces, More London, and we are shortly going to be moving to The Crystal. My first question is: who actually owns the land that The Crystal is on? Is it one of the GLA’s pocket strategic development sites? Is it owned by the developer Advanced Business Park? Is it someone else entirely?

Unmesh Desai AM: Good morning. My question is to Royal Docks Programme Director Daniel Bridge. How will developments at the Royal Docks bring opportunities for London?

• Meeting date: 02 December 2015

Fiona Twycross AM: I wanted to correct the impression that was given that the way it has been operating at the moment has been simply about opposition Members [on LFEPA] getting at the Mayor. The fact is that the Mayor has insisted on managing by Direction even when there has not been an impasse, including on issues over which there has been cross‑party agreement by LFEPA Members. I just wondered if you could focus a little bit on what impact the Mayor’s insistence on management by Direction has had. To be honest, we have had Directions on all sorts of...

• Meeting date: 02 December 2015

Richard Tracey AM: Chairman, probably this is one for you as the politician of the two of you. The fact is, surely, that government, particularly local government, has been changing very considerably over recent years. That is accepted. The straight point to you: is it not correct that perhaps LFEPA in its current form is out of date and past its sell‑by date, really?

• Meeting date: 02 December 2015

Fiona Twycross AM: We obviously have to make sensible use of resources in the face of cuts. Some of the new technology that could come online is really interesting and will offer exciting possibilities, but do you agree with the Londoner who contacted me yesterday to say that £283,000 for a website rebuild is bordering on scandalous?

Perhaps I can start with the Commissioner because we are meeting on the day that Lord Justice Leveson is to announce the results of his inquiry and recommendations. No doubt there will be recommendations with regards to the police as well. I just wondered if you could take a couple of minutes just to explain whether you have actually seen the report, know what the recommendations are and how the police are going to respond to it.

• Question by: John Biggs
• Meeting date: 29 November 2012

I think, John, you wanted to ask on an issue that is topical at the moment. John Biggs (AM): Yes, which is we cannot comment on a case in front of the courts, but obviously there are two Newham police officers who are in front of the courts at present and we will see what happens. I wanted an assurance from you, Commissioner, that regardless of the outcome of that case, this does raise very serious issues about culture and conduct, and that you would be acting after the event in a way that is exemplary, clear and forceful about...

Can you tell us a little bit about how the budget proposals were developed between the Metropolitan Police Service and the Mayor's office?

• Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
• Meeting date: 29 November 2012

Commissioner, if I was a serving officer, I would be really worried about the future of my service. Certainly, from a survey that was done in November, there is that low morale in the service and in the Metropolitan Police Service. On 21 November, you told a BBC Radio 5 live interviewer that indeed there was low morale in the service. Can you share with us what you are doing about that? I mean, in the midst of this storm or tsunami of all the political interference and redrafting of the service, what are you doing to support the staff...
