  • Oral Update to the Mayor's Report (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Unmesh Desai
    • Meeting date: 16 November 2023
    Unmesh Desai AM: Thank you, Chair. Mr Mayor, I was pleased to see that [The Rt Hon] Suella Braverman [MP] was finally replaced as Home Secretary after the awful events last weekend. Do you agree with me that those in public office that considered her an “ideal Home Secretary” should retract their comments given that the former Home Secretary’s actions to stoke tensions in our city had serious consequences for Londoners and our police officers?

  • Crime Rates (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Unmesh Desai
    • Meeting date: 20 July 2023
    Unmesh Desai AM: Thank you, Chair. Good morning, Mr Mayor. Mr Mayor I was going to ask you about what measures you are taking to prevent youth violence across London this summer. What you said in your opening statement and your letter to the Prime Minister has addressed my concerns. Instead, can I raise the issue of Notting Hill Carnival, which will soon be upon us, and the policing of the carnival? Presumably, police plans are well advanced and ensure that all Londoners enjoy a safe, secure and friendly carnival.

  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [17]

    • Question by: Unmesh Desai
    • Meeting date: 06 July 2023
    Unmesh Desai AM: Thank you, Chair. Good afternoon, Mr Mayor, and good afternoon, Commissioner. Commissioner, my question is to you. Can you update the Assembly on what is being done to tackle crime on the transport network?

  • Question & Answer Session: London's Long-Term Infrastructure Needs (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Hina Bokhari
    • Meeting date: 08 June 2023
    Hina Bokhari AM: Thank you, Chair. I do want to touch on something that Assembly Member Polanski was discussing earlier about flooding, but I want to link it to pollution through sewage. I am sure Caroline [Sheridan] and Charlie [Wood] would like to come in at this point, but I want to start off with Sir John. I know that you were talking about specific projects not always being part of your approach, but the baseline report that you produced in 2021 said serious pollution incidents from water and sewage are unacceptably high. Then your report in 2022 about reducing...

  • Question & Answer Session: London's Long-Term Infrastructure Needs (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Unmesh Desai
    • Meeting date: 08 June 2023
    Unmesh Desai AM: Thank you, Chair. Good morning to the panel. My lead-off question is to either Phil [Graham] or Ben [Lucas]. High speed internet access is critical for London’s businesses and residents. However, it has been reported that some parts of London have some of the worse full fibre coverage in the country. What are the reasons for this and how can this be tackled? If you would like to start off, Phil.

  • Question and Answer Session: London's Economic Recovery and Business (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Hina Bokhari
    • Meeting date: 03 March 2022
    Hina Bokhari AM: All my questions will be for the Deputy Mayor for Business. London’s street markets, small businesses and high streets are a vital part of the fabric of London’s culture and economy. They showcase the diversity of our city and provide a place that we can all meet, integrate and do business. We must do all we can to support them and to help them thrive. Last month [February 2022], the Mayor announced a £10 million budget to attract more tourists - as you were mentioning before - back into the capital, which includes a domestic and international...

    • Meeting date: 03 March 2022
    Hina Bokhari AM: Deputy Mayor, will you look again for the widely supported disability employment taskforce for helping disability employment pay gaps in London?

  • Question and Answer Session: Functional Bodies - Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Hina Bokhari
    • Meeting date: 11 November 2021
    Hina Bokhari AM: I am going to talk about flooding. There are recent issues that I am sure you are aware of that have happened in London. If you were to examine the OPDC website, the most recent information on policies to deal with flooding go back to 2015. Can you provide an update on the development of infrastructure and capacity to deal with flood risk, especially to deal with surface and storm water runoff?

  • Question and Answer Session: Functional Bodies - London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Hina Bokhari
    • Meeting date: 11 November 2021
    Hina Bokhari AM: I am going to talk about the topical and serious issue of sewage. In 2019, raw sewage flowed from a Thames Water overflow pipe into the wetlands, running into the canal and the River Lea on the Olympic Park a staggering 91 times over 1,026 hours. There are now reports of raw sewage once again pouring into the Park’s water network, flowing from the recent heavy rains. Not only does this hit the reputation of the Park as a welcoming, clean and attractive place, but the wetlands particularly were intended to be an eco-friendly area for animal...

  • Question and Answer Session: Functional Bodies - London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Unmesh Desai
    • Meeting date: 11 November 2021
    Unmesh Desai AM: To you formally, Sir Peter, but maybe Lyn [Garner] might be able to answer this question. The Panel has already been asked questions about community engagement, but I have still got to put this to you. How far does LLDC engage with the local community to ensure that they are benefitting from the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and the Olympic legacy?
