• 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: Leonie Cooper
• Meeting date: 05 March 2020

Léonie Cooper AM: One of the issues that is filling my postbag is from people on my side of the river who are struggling with the replacement bus services, which they say are just not frequent enough, particularly in the rush hour peaks. I wondered if there was any likelihood of bus frequency being improved because it is quite clear from your answer to Assembly Member [Tony] Devenish that we are talking about something that is going to longer rather than shorter, which is pretty much as anticipated. Is there anything you can do for my constituents?

• Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
• Meeting date: 05 March 2020

Jennette Arnold OBE AM: Firstly, can I just add my congratulations to TfL staff and management for what I would call the transport revolution that has taken place across our city in the last 20 years? I say that based on the knowledge of the first transport goals and aims that were set out by the first Labour Mayor and having been able to be in a position in my constituency, with all the infrastructure development that my constituents have received, to see that 20-year strategy being delivered. Commissioner, that is the high point. I want now to raise some...

Andrew Dismore AM: What action has been taken to improve cycling infrastructure in London over the past four years?

• Question by: Onkar Sahota
• Meeting date: 05 March 2020

Dr Onkar Sahota AM: Mr Mayor, one of the figures collected by TfL is the lost customer hours due to industrial strikes. In the eight years when we had Boris Johnson as the Mayor, 28.4 million hours were lost. Under your mayoralty so far, it has only been 5.3 million. Apart from you rolling your sleeves up and getting involved in industrial action - and London has benefitted from that - but also London has benefited from your fares policy. Can you please tell me that apart from you rolling your sleeves up and reducing industrial strikes in London, what...

• Meeting date: 05 March 2020

Joanne McCartney AM: I will start with the Mayor. It is about train devolution. You met with the Secretary of State [for Transport] last August [2019] and things went well, but I am just wondering what discussions have been had since then about devolving some of those other suburban rail lines to TfL?
