  • Question and Answer Session: Policing (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 01 December 2022
    Len Duvall AM: Thank you very much, Chair. My question is to the Commissioner and it is about screening out crime. I have been raising a number of questions over many years about when the MPS first introduced screening out crime, and I recognise there have been some changes along the path of where it has got to at the moment. I also recognise it is a valuable tool. Do not put me in the view that you should not be doing it or anything like that, but is the MPS using it properly and appropriately, and are we screening...

  • 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...

  • Question and Answer Session: Proposed Revision to the Mayor of London's Transport Strategy (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 17 November 2022
    Emma Best AM: Thank you. I was really brought in by Assembly Member Baker’s line of questioning there, and Assembly Member Unmesh Desai, actually, let Assembly Member Keith Prince finish earlier, so perhaps I will expand all that for her, though I had not planned to. That is the really important point, those lost journeys. A lot of the emails I get are about “I go and visit my Dad or my Mum/I do the shopping for my uncle every week, and I am not going to be able to afford to make that journey.” How are you measuring that...

  • Question and Answer Session: Proposed Revision to the Mayor of London's Transport Strategy (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 17 November 2022
    Len Duvall AM: Thank you, Chair. If we can go back to the evidence base for this revision; in September 2021 - and this is to the Mayor - the WHO produced an updated quality guidance. What impact have these issues, of the updated guidance, had on your decision to revise the Strategy?

  • Question and Answer Session: Proposed Revision to the Mayor of London's Transport Strategy (Supplementary) [15]

    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 17 November 2022
    Len Duvall AM: Thank you very much, Chair. In your policies, you have brought about a reduction of PM 2.5 - so those living within the central ULEZ zone. Have similar benefits been experienced as a result of the expanded ULEZ?

  • Question and Answer Session: Legacy of the 2012 London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (Supplementary) [17]

    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 06 October 2022
    Emma Best AM: Thank you, Chair. My colleague just briefly brought up the London Youth Games there and I wanted to quickly confirm, hopefully, from either Lyn or Jules whether, with young children being able to use the Olympic Stadium and facilities over the last ten years, that legacy will continue and they will continue to use those facilities over the next ten years and beyond.

  • Adult Education Budget (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2022
    Len Duvall AM: Thank you, Chair. In terms of the UKSPF and the skills in London, how does that fund adequately replace the funding London received for skills from the European Union (EU) and how does that factor in to the work of the AEB?

  • Adult Education Budget (Supplementary) [17]

    • Question by: Emma Best
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2022
    Emma Best AM: Thank you, Chair. Good morning, Jules and Michelle. My questioning was going to be mainly around the targeting of the AEB and so I was quite pleased that in the questions from Assembly Member Sheikh you have already recognised the Mayor and his programme is failing to adequately support disabled Londoners and so we do not need to go back too deeply into that.
