  • Question and Answer Session: Refugees in London (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2023
    Joanne McCartney AM: Thank you. My question is to Deputy Mayor Copley. I want to focus on housing if I can. You have already talked about the RHP to provide over 600 homes. If you had sufficient resources, what more could you do?

  • 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) [19]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 06 July 2023
    Joanne McCartney AM: Thank you. My question is for the Commissioner, and I am going to raise the issue of the Piccadilly line signalling upgrade. It is good to hear that you have better relations with Government than previously. We do know that the new trains will increase capacity on the line by 23 percent, but if it were to be given the go-ahead, the signalling would increase capacity by 64 percent. Can I ask you about the state of those negotiations and are you hopeful that we will get that capital funding?

  • 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: 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) [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) [20]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 01 December 2022
    Joanne McCartney AM: Yes, thank you. My first question is for Sir Mark. Is the MPS good at supporting victims through the criminal justice service?

  • 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...

  • Question and Answer Session: Proposed Revision to the Mayor of London's Transport Strategy (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 17 November 2022
    Joanne McCartney AM: Thank you. Mr Mayor, I think you have clearly set out the triple challenges that we are facing as a city, and you have highlighted that the inner London ULEZ has been extremely well delivered, with some drastic improvements made to air quality. However, many parts of outer London are not blessed with the same extensive public transport links that inner London is, and your MTS is about encouraging people out of cars and on to public transport, or more active travel. What will you seek to do in the forthcoming years to make sure that we...
