  • Question and Answer Session: Policing (Supplementary) [13]

    • Question by: Krupesh Hirani
    • Meeting date: 01 December 2022
    Krupesh Hirani AM: Thank you, Chair, and my question is to Sir Mark first of all. You told the October 2022 Police and Crime Committee that: “What the public should see is us stabilising our neighbourhood policing, so people are less abstracted ...” Between quarter 1 (Q1) of 2020/21 and quarter 1 of 2022/23, the abstraction level for Dedicated Ward Officers fluctuated between 3.6% and 9.9%. I recently met with the ward panel representative of Queensbury Ward in my constituency in the London Borough of Brent, and it was a real issue that they were raising with their local Safer...

  • Question and Answer Session: Policing (Supplementary) [18]

    • Question by: Leonie Cooper
    • Meeting date: 01 December 2022
    Léonie Cooper AM: Thank you, Chair. I want to address some questions to the Commissioner. It sounds like a very simple question: the items that garner the news talk about ambulances stuck outside hospitals, with paramedics being detained there, unable to let people go into the hospital because the beds are full. However, we also know that the police are sometimes ending up at hospitals for lengthy periods and it does not catch the news quite to the same degree. My very simple question to you is: how much time are our police officers spending on non-policing activities?

  • Question and Answer Session: Proposed Revision to the Mayor of London's Transport Strategy (Supplementary) [11]

    Krupesh Hirani AM: Thank you, Chair. This is to the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan. What health benefits have been achieved by expanding ULEZ to the North and South Circular Roads so far?

  • Question and Answer Session: Legacy of the 2012 London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Leonie Cooper
    • Meeting date: 06 October 2022
    Léonie Cooper AM: Thank you very much, Chair. Sorry, I thought we were going to hear from the rest of the Conservatives before we moved over to anybody else. I would like to speak to Lyn Garner and I would also like to say to Assembly Member Garratt, who is not privy to these discussions, that the Mayor was not invited today. That is why he is not here. It has nothing to do with his diary being full or otherwise. It is sad that you do not know about these things from your Group leader, perhaps. Lyn, do you...

  • Adult Education Budget (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Leonie Cooper
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2022
    Léonie Cooper AM: Thank you very much, Chair. I want to come back to the issue about what percentage of the AEB - which I understand is £318 million in total - is being spent on supporting people into training for low-carbon, circular economy, climate-ready jobs. I am being very specific about what they are.

  • Adult Education Budget (Supplementary) [13]

    • Question by: Krupesh Hirani
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2022
    Krupesh Hirani AM: Thank you, Chair. The latest available figures show that as of June [2022], London’s National Health Service (NHS) had a record vacancy rate for fulltime staff exceeding 30,000 unfilled positions. I recognise that the Mayor does not have any statutory powers over the running of health and social care in London but there are still ways in which the GLA can support the sector, particularly around non-clinical and non-medical roles in the NHS, and social care as well. Deputy Mayor, what are you and the Mayor doing to support the health and social care sector in London?
