It seems very appropriate in this week, when we have just celebrated the 100th anniversary of some women being given the vote and changes to the Representation of the People Act, to see both a female Commissioner and also yet another woman Deputy Mayor. I am very pleased to say that the Mayor has made that part of his modus operandi , it would be fair to say, in who he has appointed as his...

Florence Eshalomi AM: Good morning to you both. I wanted to add my congratulations to both of you for your new appointments.

• Meeting date: 17 June 2015

Last week it was revealed that there were over 3,000 train journeys where Londoners could have claimed compensation because their train was late or cancelled.
