Mr Mayor, can I raise the issue of sectarian tensions in London from the Middle East conflicts between Sunni and Shia? I welcome the comments you made to Andrew Boff AM that you do not want to see international disputes come to the streets of London. In the past 15 months I have seen a number of incidents which concern me. The first was raised by Lebanese businesses on the Edgware Road about Anjem Choudary’s [cleric] mob inciting clearly religious hatred aimed at Shias. It was dealt with as a public order offence but an opportunity was missed to deal...
The provision of cultural opportunities in London’s outer boroughs and the improvement of the accessibility to London’s cultural workforce were two priorities in the Mayor’s 2010 Cultural Strategy. What progress have you made since then, and what are the future goals, for both priorities?
Why did you choose to update rather than replace or revise Cultural Metropolis? Can we expect further policy developments before the Mayoral election in 2016?
I think it is not just the efficiency that has been improved, but they have actually reduced their risk to probity now, but anyway, thank you. I will go back to TfL with some of the detail. Thank you.
I think we have to put some positive incentives to minicab drivers, having gone through the registration scheme. I think it would help reinforce what is a successful safety scheme
