  • Question and Answer Session: Policing (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Neil Garratt
    • Meeting date: 01 December 2022
    Neil Garratt AM: I would like to reprise a question about fraud that I asked you at the Police and Crime Committee, I think on 2 October 2022. I was quite pleased with your answer about working with the National Crime Agency (NCA) and taking a new approach, Commissioner, and obviously since then, we have seen the big iSpoof shutdown operation. First of all, I wanted to commend you on that operation, which obviously was quite a major piece of work. Have you seen a reduction in that sort of phone-based fraud as a result of that operation?

  • Question and Answer Session: Policing (Supplementary) [15]

    • Question by: Sakina Sheikh
    • Meeting date: 01 December 2022
    Sakina Sheikh AM: Thank you, Chair. I want to speak a little bit more about the issue of fraud, building on Assembly Member Garratt’s line of questioning. I was absolutely shocked to see that fraud constitutes 41% of all crime committed in the UK and costs the UK £137 billion each year. Commissioner, I just wanted to ask if there is anything you wanted to expand on in terms of how confident you feel in the MPS’s ability to get a handle on tackling fraud. Then I will move on to yourself, Mr Mayor, to ask what we are doing...

  • Question and Answer Session: Proposed Revision to the Mayor of London's Transport Strategy (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Neil Garratt
    • Meeting date: 17 November 2022
    Neil Garratt AM: Good afternoon. Listening to the way you advocate for your policy, I can understand why quite a lot of Londoners would think that it is an obvious and straightforward thing to do. You make it sound like a no-brainer, which really makes it even more impressive that the majority of Londoners tell YouGov that they do not really support it. What I find perturbing is that the way that you advocate the policy; if it is a straightforward and obvious way forward, why is it that you have to be so dishonest and unclear with Londoners about...

  • Question and Answer Session: Proposed Revision to the Mayor of London's Transport Strategy (Supplementary) [14]

    • Question by: Sakina Sheikh
    • Meeting date: 17 November 2022
    Sakina Sheikh AM: Thank you, Chair. Building on the conversation that we are just finishing off with Assembly Member Marina Ahmad about the scrappage scheme. I thought it would be worth, given that we have had a back and forth and were looking for lessons learned, drilling down a little bit more into the review of the London-wide ULEZ Integrated Impact Assessment. In front of me it says: “TfL is reviewing the effectiveness of the previous ULEZ scrappage scheme that enabled over 15,000 polluting vehicles to be removed from London’s roads to inform the development of any future scheme.” It...

  • Question and Answer Session: Legacy of the 2012 London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Neil Garratt
    • Meeting date: 06 October 2022
    Neil Garratt AM: He was on LBC [radio] this morning, we know what some of his engagements were. I wanted to ask about this question of convergence. A young lad who was the Mayor of Hackney at the time signed up to the Strategic Regeneration Framework, which you mentioned earlier, which talked about the true legacy of 2012 being that within 20 years the communities who host the 2012 Games will have the same social and economic chances as their neighbours across London. We spoke a bit about that earlier. I will give you an opportunity as well in a...

  • Question and Answer Session: Legacy of the 2012 London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Sakina Sheikh
    • Meeting date: 06 October 2022
    Sakina Sheikh AM: Thank you, Chair. Good afternoon to the panel; it is great to have you join us here today to discuss the legacy of the London Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games. You are absolutely right, Jules [Pipe CBE], about needing to assess this on a regional, local, and national scale in terms of what we have achieved. But I am going to be zoning in to the local a little bit. I wanted to start with you, Lyn, about asking has the Olympic Park met the regeneration commitments for the host boroughs? Then I might move on...

  • Adult Education Budget (Supplementary) [15]

    • Question by: Sakina Sheikh
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2022
    Sakina Sheikh AM: Thank you, Chair, and good morning to Jules and Michelle. It is good to see you again. I certainly enjoyed hearing from you yesterday [7 March 2022] at our Economy Committee and from the whole panel. It is really clear that adult education has a huge and long-lasting effect on Londoners’ ability to reach their full potential. I just wanted to speak to how we ensure that we reach all Londoners equally and make sure all groups in our society are represented and, to that end, I wanted to ask what progress the AEB made in tackling...

    • Question by: Neil Garratt

    Neil Garratt AM: Good morning. Always a pleasure to hear from the Deputy Mayor and Michelle. My question, though, is: why is the Mayor not here?
