  • 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) [9]

    • Question by: Keith Prince
    • Meeting date: 06 July 2023
    Keith Prince AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. Good morning, Commissioner. Carrying on from my colleague, Assembly Member [Emma] Best’s question on buses, there is currently a proposal regarding the W12, W13, W14 and the 549. Some of those proposals are good, I have to say, but you are in consultation on those changes, one of which involves deleting one of the services. If the consultation comes back and says that the people are not happy with that, will you give that due consideration or will you just continue with the proposals as set out, Mr Mayor?

  • Question & Answer Session: London's Long-Term Infrastructure Needs (Supplementary) [19]

    • Question by: Keith Prince
    • Meeting date: 08 June 2023
    Keith Prince AM: Thank you, Chair. Deputy Mayor, good morning. A quick question to back up what my colleague, Assembly Member Best, was saying in regards to Havering in the Superloop. There is going to be no Superloop in Havering and I cannot understand why you would not have one of the outer-lying boroughs in your Orbital Plan. You are going to be deleting two bus routes in Havering, so as a result of the expansion of ULEZ there will be fewer opportunities for my residents to use public transport. We are going to be discussing it at a later...

  • 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) [13]

    • Question by: Keith Prince
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2023
    Keith Prince AM: A couple of things to start with, Lord Hendy. It is good to see you again. You were saying that you were astonished earlier. Do you honestly believe that such prime real estate where the [Olympic] Games were held would remain fallow even now? If we look around where we are here, if we look at Docklands, Canary Wharf, none of those had the Olympic Games, from memory, but they have all been very successfully developed out.

  • 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) [8]

    • Question by: Keith Prince
    • Meeting date: 01 December 2022
    Keith Prince AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. Did I hear you correctly when you said that knife crime was down since 2016? Was that the year you used?

  • 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...
