  • Key Challenges for the London Fire Brigade (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Leonie Cooper
    • Meeting date: 08 February 2018
    Leonie Cooper AM: Thank you very much, Chair. Like other Assembly Members, I would like to join with adding my congratulations to both of you. 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...

  • Key Challenges for the London Fire Brigade (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Florence Eshalomi MP
    • Meeting date: 08 February 2018
    Florence Eshalomi AM: Good morning to you both. I wanted to add my congratulations to both of you for your new appointments. I do remember watching the tragedy of Grenfell unfold because my son was just a week old and so we were watching the news all night long. I just commend you both for the courage and leadership that you showed through some of the difficult challenges that London has witnessed over the last year. I wanted to focus on some of the work that the LFB leads on youth engagement and how we get our young people involved...

  • Key Challenges for the London Fire Brigade (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 08 February 2018
    Jennette Arnold OBE AM: Thank you, Acting Chair, Deputy Chairman. Commissioner, I have some questions for you and, like my colleagues, let me add my congratulations to you on your appointment as the first female Fire Commissioner. Now, I heard the answers you gave to my colleague Assembly Member Russell’s questions about gender and so I want to ask now specifically about racial diversity. From the LFB’s monitoring data of December 2017, I see here that from the operational staff of 4,612, 606 were of BAME heritage: 13.14%. We will all know that that is quite woeful. Can I just...

  • Key Challenges for the London Fire Brigade (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Tony Devenish
    • Meeting date: 08 February 2018
    Tony Devenish AM: Good morning, Deputy Mayor. If we tried to paint a picture of the LFB in, say, eight years, 2026, could you paint me some big pictures of what the real differences will be, please?

  • Key Challenges for the London Fire Brigade (Supplementary) [13]

    • Question by: Onkar Sahota
    • Meeting date: 08 February 2018
    Dr Onkar Sahota AM: First of all, let me add my congratulations on your nomination, Dr Fiona Twycross, as the Deputy Mayor and also your reappointment, Commissioner, to the post. I want to talk about the assistance given to the firefighters and to operational and non-operational staff after the tragic event of Grenfell, and ask what support was given to the fire service.

  • Subject: 3rd Runway Mitigation

    • Reference: 2015/2492
    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2015
    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?

  • Subject: 3rd Runway Mitigation (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Tom Copley
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2015
    Tom Copley AM: Sir Howard, good morning. We are very supportive of the idea of an independent aviation noise authority. In December 2013, your interim report called on the Government to establish such a body. When has it said it will do so?

  • Subject: 3rd Runway Mitigation (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2015
    Len Duvall AM: Thank you for your earlier clarification around where air quality fits into the hierarchy of mitigation issues, but could you just clarify in terms of your report and your findings? Is it that pollution levels must come down around Heathrow before it is even built or could you envisage it being built and then taking pollution levels? Others would argue that some of your findings around air quality, comparisons and issues are slightly unrealistic. Give us the background of that.

  • Subject: 3rd Runway Mitigation (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Kit Malthouse
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2015
    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...

  • Meagre benefits from a third runway (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2015
    Mayor John Biggs AM: I would like to be in a position to apologise for some fellow Members of the Assembly. I will start by thanking you enormously for the work you have done and for the very thorough way in which you answered the question you were asked, while recognising that there is a significant minority of people who believe it was the wrong question and that there are quite a lot of other people who seek elected office - and maybe occasionally I am a bit like this - and who would like to pretend that the desire...
