• Question by: Krupesh Hirani
• Meeting date: 06 July 2023

Krupesh Hirani AM: Thank you, Chair. My question is to the Mayor. You froze all TfL fares under your control for the first four years of your mayoralty and in these last three years the fares have gone up due to requirements in the Government funding deal made with the pandemic. What would you like to do with fares when you are no longer bound by any Government requirements?

• Meeting date: 06 July 2023

Emma Best AM: Thank you. Good morning. I want to focus particularly on connectivity, and I found it really interesting this conversation on park-and-ride. We have been a pretty lone voice in supporting the Mayor of London’s park-and-rides. We already operate many of them across TfL station car parks. I use one most days and I am glad that it looks like we are not going to be the only ones who have concerns about building over them. Thank you and welcome to the team, Siân [Berry]! My first question probably best for you, Andy, if that is OK. I...

• Meeting date: 06 July 2023

Dr Onkar Sahota AM (Deputy Chair): Thank you, Chair. Good morning, Mr Mayor. My question is to you first. What are the consequences of TfL being unable to fully fund their capital programme due to not having a long-term Government funding settlement?

• Question by: Keith Prince
• Meeting date: 06 July 2023

Keith Prince AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. Good morning, Commissioner. Carrying on from my colleague, Assembly Member [Emma] Best’s question on buses, there is currently a proposal regarding the W12, W13, W14 and the 549. Some of those proposals are good, I have to say, but you are in consultation on those changes, one of which involves deleting one of the services. If the consultation comes back and says that the people are not happy with that, will you give that due consideration or will you just continue with the proposals as set out, Mr Mayor?

Anne Clarke AM: Thank you, Chair, and good morning, Mr Mayor and Commissioner. Sadiq, earlier today you were talking about your Transport Strategy which aims for 80 percent of all journeys in London to be made by walking, cycling or public transportation by 2041. I was encouraged to hear the Commissioner note that the way to do that is to make it the most attractive form of travelling. Five years on, should there be a target for share mobility options, and that would include e-bikes, car clubs and carpooling, in order to help Londoners move way from private car use?

• Question by: Neil Garratt
• Meeting date: 06 July 2023

Neil Garratt AM: Good morning, good to see you at a Plenary, Mr Mayor. A question about bus drivers and hot weather. If you listen to bus drivers, one of the issues that they bring up a lot -- not so much this week, we are enjoying a cooler July week -- but a couple of weeks ago we had a period of hot weather, which is normal for the time of year, and a huge number of complaints from bus drivers that the conditions that they were operating in in their cab was completely in excess of what is...

• Question by: Sem Moema
• Meeting date: 06 July 2023

Sem Moema AM: Thank you, Chair, and good morning to you, Mayor Khan and Commissioner. My question is about TfL’s delivery of its 20,000 housing target. You have got a target for 20,000 homes by 2031, of which half - I am pleased to hear - will be affordable. However, on 13 June [2023] your Finance Officer said that “the focus is on bringing forward new schemes”, so taking things through planning. Given the challenges in the housing sector at the moment with interest rates, labour issues and maybe concerns that potential partners might have about their own financial position...

Susan Hall AM: Good morning, Mr Lord. At the moment, the ULEZ expansion Judicial Review has been heard, but we are still waiting for the judge’s judgment. How prepared is TfL for all the eventualities?

• Question by: Sakina Sheikh
• Meeting date: 06 July 2023

Sakina Sheikh AM: Thank you, Chair. Good morning to you, Mr Mayor and Commissioner; it is great to have you here with us. I think it is a well-known fact that all roads lead to Lewisham, Assembly Member Duvall’s patch. Unfortunately, all Tube lines do not lead to Lewisham. In fact, no Tube lines lead to Lewisham. I am so pleased for the laughter because I really worked on that one. We, as you know, are incredibly keen for the extension of the Bakerloo line that was promised and that case was made by Ifia Conteo , a really articulate...

Andrew Boff AM (Chair): Thank you. I am now going to hand over the Chairmanship to Dr Sahota [AM]. Dr Onkar Sahota (Deputy Chair in the Chair) AM: OK, Chair, over to you for your question. Andrew Boff AM: Thank you. Mr Mayor, when were you last in Uxbridge?
