  • Lead off question - Delays to Crossrail (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 06 September 2018
    Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Thank you. Mr Mayor, just ten weeks ago, in answer to a Mayoral question (MQ), you stated, “The Elizabeth line remains on course to open as planned in December 2018”. The Commissioner, in the TfL Board report of 25 July [2018] stated, “Crossrail remains on course to open as planned in December”. Sir Terry, on 6 June, when the Transport Committee visited Tottenham Court Road with you, you gave me an absolute assurance that the opening of Crossrail would be in December. You even confirmed the date, Sunday, 9 December when the Queen would be opening...

    • Question by: Florence Eshalomi MP
    • Meeting date: 06 September 2018
    Florence Eshalomi AM: Thank you. To come back to Crossrail, on this side [of the table] we definitely recognise the scale of this project but once completed it will be a big success for London. I am definitely looking forward to when it opens. You may be aware of Rob Holden’s [CBE, Chairman, High Speed 1] letter last week in The Times where he stated, “The problems with Crossrail arose from the decision taken in 2011 to delay the procurement of new rolling stock, a decision that has affected the commissioning of those new trains ... signalling was always going...
  • Lead off question - Delays to Crossrail (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Caroline Russell
    • Meeting date: 06 September 2018
    Caroline Russell AM: Thank you, Chairman. I want to ask about the experience of the passengers who are waiting to use this line but before I get on to those questions I want to pick up on something that Sir Terry said at the very beginning. You said, “We mitigated one risk and others materialised”. I wonder if you could expand on that a bit more, whether that is what has caused this decision about the delay.

    • Question by: Keith Prince
    • Meeting date: 06 September 2018
    Keith Prince AM: Thank you, Chairman. Good morning, Sir Terry. I am trying to get some dates straight in my head. You mentioned a Board meeting in July [2018] where it was raised that there could be problems. Could you tell me the date of that meeting in July, please?

  • Priorities for the OPDC (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Tom Copley
    • Meeting date: 08 March 2017
    My question is to Victoria first of all. Given the timetable for the delivery of housing at Old Oak and the Mayor’s long-term strategic target of 50% affordable housing, how is the OPDC maximising affordable development right from the outset?

    • Question by: Leonie Cooper
    • Meeting date: 08 March 2017
    Leonie Cooper AM: Thank you, Chairman. Mine is about the exemplar development in terms of the environmental ambitions, and so perhaps Victoria would like to start.

    • Question by: Nicky Gavron
    • Meeting date: 08 March 2017
    Nicky Gavron AM: Victoria, you have given us quite a lot of context with this exchange. I want to go on talking about the industrial site. Park Royal is probably the largest strategic industrial location in the whole of Europe and it is definitely the industrial engine of the London economy and therefore a huge contributor to the UK economy. Everything you are saying about protecting it - and I really welcome what you were saying about the article 4 direction - and strengthening it is really important. You have talked about relocating some of the industries from Old Oak...
