  • Chairman's Question to Guests (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 06 February 2015
    Jenny Jones AM: On this substantive issue, I am very concerned that you are actually releasing too much industrial land because the vacancy rate on industrial land has actually halved in the past 15 years and is now lower than retail vacancies. I am concerned that you are talking about surplus land when, actually, it is not surplus because small businesses still need to be near centres of population and they still need to be near town centres. I just wonder how much research you have done on this.
  • Proposal to Designate a Mayoral Development Area (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 17 December 2014
    Darren Johnson AM: I hear what you say about Wormwood Scrubs and the issue of permeability. I do not at all doubt the need to improve permeability. However, surely, this type of thing can be done through sensible negotiations between boroughs. You do not need to include it in the MDC to ensure pathways and gates to public open space, do you?
  • Proposal to Designate a Mayoral Development Area (Supplementary) [13]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 17 December 2014
    Jenny Jones AM: I have not been convinced by these arguments about keeping Wormwood Scrubs open space inside the MDC. The council that currently has it in their borough is against it. The Friends of the Open Space are against it. It looks like a mayoral land grab. It does not look like a coherent plan. Sir Edward Lister (Mayor's Chief of Staff): If I may, it is a coherent plan, but they do not agree with it. Jenny Jones AM: Do you not think you should be interested in localism: that decisions for local people for local land should...

    So it would be a disciplinary board and not a conviction?

  • Speeding (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 10 December 2003
    One of the reasons I put this question is because when we actually got the Met to take up the reduction of road death and casualties as a priority I really felt that the argument had been won. However, I still do not see the results in the boroughs. Are there resources going to the boroughs for this or not?
  • Speeding (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 10 December 2003
    A couple of years ago I went around to about a third of the boroughs to talk to the borough commanders about the issue of road crime and ask them what resources they were putting towards road safety. At the time they said it was not a priority for them, although they would love to do it and saw the value. It is now a priority for the Met, but I still do not see any real understanding of that in the boroughs. What can you do about it personally, Commissioner?
  • Speeding (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 10 December 2003
    You mentioned the debate at the moment about the use of safety cameras. I wonder if it is time you actually stood up and said safety cameras are there to save lives; it is speed that kills and not safety cameras. Is that something you would be prepared to make a statement on?
