• Question by: Florence Eshalomi MP
• Meeting date: 07 December 2016

Florence Eshalomi AM: Good morning, Deputy Mayor. You may be aware that one of the things the Government was supposed to announce in the Autumn Statement was the whole announcement around the buy-as-you-go thought to help more people get on to the housing ladder. Do you think that would help in addressing the London housing crisis?

Florence Eshalomi AM: Thank you, Madam Chair. Good morning to you, Commissioner, and Mr Mayor. I just wanted to go back to some of the points raised by Assembly Member Bailey in terms of the night Tube. The first two lines are coming in in less than six weeks from today, and I am very happy that one of them will be going through my constituency, the Victoria line. I just wanted to go back to some of the points that you raised, Commissioner, in terms of the impact of the 24-hour licence, and this is an issue that has...

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...

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 The straight point to you: is it not correct that perhaps LFEPA in its current form is out of date and past its sell‑by date, really?

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?

Is it possible to expand Heathrow Airport without having a negative effect on London's environment and the health of Londoners?

• Question by: James Cleverly
• Meeting date: 08 September 2015

James Cleverly AM MP: In your explanation as to why Atlanta and O’Hare are able to have almost double the air movements that Heathrow has, we are at 400,000 and something and they are at 800,000 and something air movements. Is that right?

• Question by: Fiona Twycross
• Meeting date: 08 September 2015

Fiona Twycross AM: In answer to a question earlier, you suggested that Gatwick would not deliver more long-haul flights, but your report’s analysis shows that by 2050 Heathrow will deliver 133 long‑haul routes while Gatwick will deliver 131 and both airports will deliver a total of 405 destinations. Given your view that a key objective for expansion should be to facilitate new connections or more marginal long-haul routes to emerging markets, is it not the case that both airports actually fulfil this objective?

Andrew Boff AM: Sir Howard, could you tell me how many domestic destinations will be served by Heathrow by 2030?
