  • Question and Answer Session: Refugees in London (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2023
    Emma Best AM: I think so. Thanks, Chair. Yes, I was just trying to work out Deputy Mayor [Tom] Copley’s political neutrality, which seemed a lot stronger when he was talking to Assembly Member [Tony] Devenish than Assembly Member [Unmesh] Desai.

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 06 July 2023
    Emma Best AM: Thank you. Good morning. I want to focus particularly on connectivity, and I found it really interesting this conversation on park-and-ride. We have been a pretty lone voice in supporting the Mayor of London’s park-and-rides. We already operate many of them across TfL station car parks. I use one most days and I am glad that it looks like we are not going to be the only ones who have concerns about building over them. Thank you and welcome to the team, Siân [Berry]! My first question probably best for you, Andy, if that is OK. I...

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [15]

    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 06 July 2023
    Andrew Boff AM (Chair): Thank you. I am now going to hand over the Chairmanship to Dr Sahota [AM]. Dr Onkar Sahota (Deputy Chair in the Chair) AM: OK, Chair, over to you for your question. Andrew Boff AM: Thank you. Mr Mayor, when were you last in Uxbridge?

  • Question & Answer Session: London's Long-Term Infrastructure Needs (Supplementary) [20]

    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 08 June 2023
    Andrew Boff AM (Chair): Thank you. We are almost at the end. I am going to take a liberty here. Many of you have turned up anticipating questions which you could answer. Is there any burning issue which you feel we should know about that has not been covered in these questions? It is OK to say no, this is not an appraisal. Dr King.

  • Question & Answer Session: London's Long-Term Infrastructure Needs (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 08 June 2023
    Emma Best AM: Thank you. Good morning, panel. Firstly, before we start, I was surprised to hear we get three-plus hours with the Mayor every month, Seb. When does that happen?

  • Question and Answer Session: London Legacy Development Corporation (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2023
    Andrew Boff AM (Deputy Chair): Thank you. Lord Hendy, when was the last time you met with the Mayor to talk about the LLDC?

  • Question and Answer Session: Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2023
    Emma Best AM: Thank you, Chair, and good morning, both. Liz, we were just hearing from [Lord] Peter Hendy [CBE] then that Mayoral Development Corporations (MDCs) “get things done”. According to the [Sir Bob] Kerslake Review [ of GLA Group Housing Delivery ], the OPDC “has not delivered any housing directly”. Is this something that you think is now a position that has changed and you feel more confident about delivery?

  • Question and Answer Session: Policing (Supplementary) [16]

    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 01 December 2022
    Andrew Boff AM (Deputy Chair in the Chair): Thank you. I am now going to speak from the Chair - and, yes, the [group] clock is going. I was at a public meeting yesterday in South Hampstead; it was a packed meeting and the meeting subject was about law and order in the area. Residents there were very, very concerned about the open drug taking - in fact, open drug dealing - taking place around Finchley Road station, and aggressive begging. There was an impression amongst those present that there was a lack of visibility of the police, and some...

  • Question and Answer Session: Policing (Supplementary) [19]

    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 01 December 2022
    Emma Best AM: Thank you, Chair. I just wanted to pick up on that point earlier about the language used, and that applies to parliamentary parties as well. The opposition particularly has to be really careful not to dehumanise the Government and politicians of the party in charge on the day. I and many of my colleagues receive death threats. We walk out of this building and do not have security surrounding us. That comes when opposition politicians call us ‘scum,’ and when they incite and praise violence. I stand with the Mayor. I see your Twitter and that is...

  • Question and Answer Session: Policing (Supplementary) [23]

    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 01 December 2022
    Emma Best AM: Thank you. Mr Mayor, to come back to the point I was making earlier - and I should have made this clearer at the time - I was speaking recently to someone and I had that conversation about professionals. I said: “Sometimes it is just easier to not say what you do.” They were a police officer and they said: “Yes, same for me.” It made me realise that it is that language problem, and police officers face that too, especially this new phrase coming in from America: ‘ACAB’. I hope I do not need to say...
