• Question by: Andrew Boff
• Meeting date: 12 January 2021

Andrew Boff AM: Professor Fenton, on I think 3 March [2020], the Mayor of London said that there is no risk of people catching coronavirus while travelling on buses or trains in the capital. Did you give him that advice?

• Question by: David Kurten
• Meeting date: 12 January 2021

David Kurten AM: Thank you, Chair. I would like to ask Dr Fenton. We heard from the Chair and you earlier about admissions to hospitals with COVID being the highest since the start of the declared pandemic in March 2020. How do total hospital admissions now, this January, compare to last January and other winter seasons before this year?

• Meeting date: 12 January 2021

Caroline Russell AM: Thank you, Chair, and thank you, Martin, for that really clear description of what is happening in our hospitals and to the people working in those hospitals. I want to talk about the vaccination of frontline workers. I do realise that vaccination rollout is in early stages and that we will not know for a few months whether vaccination has any effect on reducing transmission, but yesterday the Government released guidance that said phase two of vaccination may include targeted vaccination of those at high risk of exposure and/or those delivering key public services. This week we...

• Question by: Navin Shah
• Meeting date: 12 January 2021

Navin Shah AM: Thank you very much. My question is to Professor Fenton. We saw in the first wave that BAME Londoners were disproportionately affected by COVID-19. In fact, the figures were very damning and not acceptable in any situation. What lessons have we learned since the first wave and what has been implemented as a result to improve the situation, which needs to be done speedily and dramatically?

• Question by: Onkar Sahota
• Meeting date: 07 February 2019

Dr Onkar Sahota AM: My questions are on the future capital programmes. TfL has recently categorised its capital projects into critical, central, desirable and deprioritised. Will you publish a list of the projects so that we know what fits into what category?

• Meeting date: 07 February 2019

Leonie Cooper AM: Thank you very much, Chairman. I just wanted to ask you about the Low-Emission Bus Zones. It is almost two years since the first Low-Emission Bus Zone was launched in Putney High Street and it has made a huge difference to Putney High Street, although we are not quite within the European Union (EU) limits. I just wondered if you could set out - and perhaps the Commissioner can add something to this as well - how we are going to be building on that with the network of Low-Emission Bus Zones over the next year.

• Meeting date: 07 February 2019

Joanne McCartney AM: I am going to ask about bus services. Across your business plan period, there will be a reduction in bus services in inner London with the aim of increasing outer London bus services but in total a reduction in kilometres. Are you running enough buses to accommodate the needs of Londoners?

• Question by: Navin Shah
• Meeting date: 07 February 2019

Navin Shah AM: With a large number of commuters, I too was stuck at 8.30am this morning at Harrow on the Hill Station. I have personally made representations to both of you and you both have kindly not only explained the reason for the signals failure but also apologised for the failure itself. I want to leave it at that. What I want to move on to swiftly now is a question about the agency staff. Mr Mayor, in your manifesto pledge you stated that you would halve the £300 million cost of consultants and agency staff to £190.5 million...

• Question by: Unmesh Desai
• Meeting date: 07 February 2019

Unmesh Desai AM: I have two sets of questions to put to you, Mr Mayor, but the Commissioner might wish to come in. My first question is what type of crime on the transport network. The latest crime statistics bulletin shows an “upward trend in violence/serious public order offences on the Tube, DLR and London Underground”. On 18 January [2019] through the media I was told that violent crime on the London Underground has risen by more than 43% in the past three years. Let us put those figures into context. This was not good news, but it should be...
