    • Question by: Peter Whittle
    • Meeting date: 21 January 2021
    To ask the Mayor, how much in fines was handed out by the Metropolitan Police to Londoners celebrating the New Year? Commander Paul Brogden, leading this year’s operation, said: ‘We are still dealing with the stark reality of fighting a deadly virus. Although the New Year is almost upon us, now is not the time for complacency or to meet with others and hold parties of any kind.

Where necessary, enforcement action, including fines starting at £100 and working their way up to...

    • Question by: Peter Whittle
    • Meeting date: 16 July 2020
    As I stated at the last Mayor’s Question Time, I am perturbed by your decision to establish a Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm, thus making City Hall the arbiter of history in London.
