  • Community Fire Safety Work (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    Thank you, Sir Ken. I think we would all like to congratulate those success stories that you have just highlighted. Obviously the picture we are getting is that it is a patchy performance across London. Would you agree with that?

  • Closure of Manchester Square Fire Station (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    So the Chair (of LFEPA) was not right to say that it was to do with cost of refurbishing?

  • Closure of Manchester Square Fire Station (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    I was never saying the outer Boroughs should continue to have less. What I argued for was that London as a whole should have more which would mean that everybody could enjoy more, rather than some having to then lose some in order for others to gain some. It just seemed to me we were trying to cut the cake smaller. My final point would be, are you aware, Sir Ken, that the residents in the area are continuing to put together new rescue plans, and that right now they say they are talking to the Metropolitan Police about sharing...

  • Closure of Manchester Square Fire Station (Supplementary) [6]

    So you are not really interested in talking to them about their proposal?

    It would only work if you were plugged in with it, would it not?

    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    Are targets for community fire safety work being met in all London Boroughs, and if not what action is being taken to resolve this?

  • Incidence and Nature of Poverty in London (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    I appreciate that the widely used definition of the poverty line is 60% of the median income. How was that originally arrived at, and is that an absolutely fixed definition?

  • Incidence and Nature of Poverty in London (Supplementary) [15]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    No, no, indeed, because I think that is an important point, because I think that in the mindset of the public it is confusing when you hear that x percent of people in London are technically living at or below the poverty line. I wondered if that definition would still be applicable if the median income rose considerably in London. One might feel that the definition was less, then, to do with poverty. I suppose I am asking you: are we talking about relative poverty as opposed to absolute poverty?

  • Role of Education, Training & Employment in Lifting People out of Poverty (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    One of the things that you have not really talked about in your answers is that while we bandy around this expression, `learning and skills', nobody actually defines precisely what skills are actually going to do the trick, and help deliver some of the solutions. Am I right in thinking that one of the skills that we need to put much more focus on, if we are going to get more people into work and skilled up, is language in this city of ours. The question - really for Mr Faulkner - is whether he finds that languages do provide...

    • Meeting date: 09 November 2005
    What are your views on proposed changes to the firefighters- pension scheme and do these have any financial implications for LFEPA?
