    • Meeting date: 02 December 2021
    Dr Onkar Sahota AM: Good morning, Mayor. The Assembly, the Commissioner and you are all agreed and we are all agreed that we need 6,000 more police officers in London.

    • Meeting date: 10 June 2021
    Dr Onkar Sahota AM: Mr Mayor, one of the things we have learned is that your inner London zone has improved the air quality about 30%, and the air quality report on the Silvertown Tunnel was put out to public inquiry, which was not challenged. What lessons can we draw from that?

    • Question by: Onkar Sahota
    • Meeting date: 01 November 2018
    Dr Onkar Sahota AM: Mr Mayor, this is a question for you on terrorism. The past few years have seen the number of arrests for terrorism double compared to the three years before that. What impact will your Countering Violent Extremism Programme have on safeguarding vulnerable people and stopping the spread of extremist ideology?

  • Challenges and opportunities for policing in 2018 (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Onkar Sahota
    • Meeting date: 21 December 2017
    Dr Onkar Sahota AM: Mr Mayor, first of all, I join you in thanking the emergency services for the work they do. On Tuesday, the Home Office ducked the responsibility for police funding and the safety of Londoners by proposing real-term cuts to the police funding, offset in part by the ability of the Police and Crime Commissioners to raise some precept monies. Do you think that, as a result of this precept that you have put in today, this will eliminate the gap in the funding needs of the MPS?

  • The future of the Metropolitan Police Service (Supplementary) [16]

    • Question by: Onkar Sahota
    • Meeting date: 06 July 2017
    Dr Onkar Sahota AM: Mr Mayor, the annual HMIC report for 2016 said: “The police service is not the only public service charged with meeting the needs of vulnerable people, but it is being used increasingly as the service of first resort. This is particularly true in respect of people suffering from mental ill‑health. Until mental health is given the same priority as physical health, in resources including funding, the police will continue to play too large a role in dealing with people with mental health problems.” Given that the MPS last year dealt with something like 51,000 calls for...

  • Transport Strategy (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Onkar Sahota
    • Meeting date: 28 June 2017
    Dr Onkar Sahota AM: When Ken Livingstone was the Mayor of London he had a London Plan that had a policy on the allocation of street space and there was a straight hierarchy of road usage. Of course when the Rt Hon Boris Johnson [MP, former Mayor of London] came along he abolished the hierarchy and people thought, “This is a bad thing to do”. The current Mayor’s Transport Strategy does not have a hierarchy of road users. Why is that?

    • Question by: Onkar Sahota
    • Meeting date: 28 June 2017
    Dr Onkar Sahota AM: Val, this question is about the rights of PHV drivers. You are negotiating your licensing at the moment with the operators. Are you able to put into the requirements the rights of workers? Some people are not paying the Living Wage to their drivers. That is where I am coming from. Are you able to stipulate the conditions and workers’ rights in your licensing requirements?
