• Question by: Neil Garratt
• Meeting date: 08 June 2023

Neil Garratt AM: Hello, again. Two quick things, Seb. Firstly, I wanted to thank you for letting us know where the Mayor was this morning, because he himself did not tell us. In fact, the reason that I bring this up in the way that I do is because he does not even tell us yes or no. The staff who organise these meetings send an email to his office saying, “Will you come along?” He does not even give them the courtesy of a reply. It is not your fault and I am not holding you responsible, but this...

Neil Garratt AM: Thank you, Chair. Morning, everyone. It is good to see you all here. I think it is a very important topic.

Léonie Cooper AM: Thank you very much, Chair. I would like to start with [Sir] John Armitt and go to John Kavanagh, if I may. In your 2016 report, Transport for a World City , it said, “Crossrail 2 should be taken forward as a priority”. You have reiterated that call since. Seven years on, do you still think that Crossrail 2 should be a priority? I am very interested in this because I represent Merton and Wandsworth down in the South West. My colleague here, who is with the Mayor this morning, Joanne McCartney [AM], who represents Enfield and...
