  • Oral update to the Mayor's Report (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 21 December 2023
    Joanne McCartney AM: Yes, thank you, Mr Mayor. I am going to raise the Piccadilly line again. Part of the capital that you requested was to complete phase one of the Piccadilly line, which is the 94 new trains that are due to start arriving from 2025. Do we know whether there is sufficient money to ensure that those are on track and will be delivered?

  • 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 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) [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 by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 03 March 2022
    Joanne McCartney AM: My question is for Richard Burge. Richard, does the Government’s Levelling Up White Paper provide London’s economy and businesses with the support they need to recover from the pandemic?

  • Question and Answer Session: Functional Bodies - Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 11 November 2021
    Joanne McCartney AM: My question is to David. We have heard today about the reallocation of sites for housing in the development. I noticed in your local plan modifications consultation schedule that you still say that you are confident that you can achieve that 50% affordable housing target overall, but I want you to confirm that. Also, in that you say that you consider there are a number of ways in which housing needs, particularly affordable housing, can be met within the local plan period. Could you explain in a little bit more detail what those means are and how...

  • Question and Answer Session: Functional Bodies - Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC) (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 11 November 2021
    Joanne McCartney AM: My question is to David and it is about biodiversity. Could you give us an update on the biodiversity study you have commissioned from the Wildlife Trust for the OPDC and how you plan to maximise biodiversity across the site and in particular - we have talked about flooding earlier - how that can minimise the risk of flooding, too?

  • 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?
