  • Protecting Londoners' human rights

    • Reference: 2017/3584
    • Question by: Siân Berry
    • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
    With increases in the number of Metropolitan Police officers armed with firearms and tasers, and the use of intrusive tactics such as spit hoods and stop and search, what steps are you taking to ensure the human rights of all Londoners are respected?
  • Mayor's manifesto commitments (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Siân Berry
    • Meeting date: 07 December 2016
    Sian Berry AM: I would like to ask for some quick clarification on some of the details of the London Living Rent homes within your funding programme, if that is OK. This product is not quite what renters were expecting. It is very similar to the Government’s existing Rent to Buy Scheme, which is not suitable for everyone. I wanted to ask. The Government’s Rent to Buy Scheme requires a good credit rating. Can you reassure Londoners worried that their credit history might hinder their ability to apply for London Living Rent homes that they will not need to have...

    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    Thank you. My last question is about the budget. I understand that the budget has not been finalised, but you should surely realise that the reason we have so much concern around here is because we have not got any information. The job we are being paid to do is to monitor the delivery of the Games. We cannot actually monitor it if we do not have the budget, because we do not know whether you are going above it or below it. Now you have said that the budget that you have asked for is significantly higher than the...

    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    I would like to know what plans are in place to make sure that the same mistakes do not happen again when there is a new Chairman appointed. I think it is very clear, certainly to me, that Mr Lemley has done much more damage to his own reputation by his extraordinary behaviour since he left, than could ever have been done by the involvement with the Games. I wanted to know how it was going to be made sure that whoever is appointed next time, and whoever is going to appoint them - presumably the Mayor and the Secretary...

    I might have to ask elsewhere. Let us get it in context. We now know that he had expressed concerns - I think was your phrase - that the project was not on track. This is not a rogue member of the Board, this is the person who is the Chair of the Authority expressing those concerns. What specifically were the concerns that he raised?

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    Two questions. Firstly, would you agree that in the light of a major project such as this it would be surprising if it was not the case that there would be some changes in personnel and some clashes of personality along the way?

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    Did you raise any of these concerns at meetings of the Board?

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    Certainly when we had the appearance in front of the Assembly in the summer, I think everyone went away thinking, `This is tremendous, everything is on track'. This now seems to bring the confidence that we all had into some question. How can you give us assurances that things really are on track?

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    Lord Rogers went on record last week criticising the process for the development of the stadium. He claims that the Mayor agrees with him. Does that not lend a tremendous amount of credibility to the fact that there are disputes going on already about the whole process?
  • Jack Lemley (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    Why do you think Mr Lemley gave one set of reasons for leaving London and then another set of reasons on the record, as we have just heard?
