  • LFEPA Cuts and the Safety of Londoners (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 02 December 2015
    Mayor John Biggs AM: Thank you very much for your earlier answers. I obviously have a parochial interest as the Assembly Member for East London.

In your current proposals, potentially we lose another three appliances in Poplar, Plaistow and Stratford and a fourth nearby in Shoreditch. Can you tell us what the cumulative impact would be on residents in my constituency in East London and whether there would be more areas that will fall outside the six-minute response time...

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    Could you confirm that the Mayor receives numerous requests from cities across the world for him to visit, and that he only accepts a small minority of those, given pressures on his time?

  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [26]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    So if it was the case that the Mayor was in the habit of junketing around the world, this would be a crime committed by many other cities around the world as well?
