How will the Mayor's 'No one needs to sleep rough in London' campaign and new London Homeless Charities Group contribute to reducing homelessness in the capital?

• Meeting date: 07 September 2017

Tom Copley AM: Thank you very much, Chair. I wanted to ask you about the levels of affordable housing and specifically the London Affordable [Living] Rent which is the Mayor’s new form of tenure that is going to be benchmarked at social rent levels. Are you going to have a target specifically for London Affordable Rent across the OPDC site?

What role are advances in technology playing in the Brigade's work, both in terms of new challenges posed and new tools available to it, or likely to become available to it in the near future?

Roger Evans AM: If you consider the 13 appliances that you are considering taking away plus the ones that were removed before, I believe the saving is around £25 million. If by some miracle you were to have £25 million returned to your budget, Commissioner, would you ideally spend it on putting those appliances back or would you have other priorities that you think would keep London safer?

James Cleverly AM MP: I am happy for either the Commissioner or the Chairman to answer this. When the traditional disposition of London’s fire stations was brought about, I suppose, with the early 20th century expansion, is it fair to say that fire and fire risk was the single biggest driving factor in the equipment disposition of fire stations and fire appliances?

• Meeting date: 02 December 2015

Dr Onkar Sahota AM: This is a question about LSP5 seeing one appliance go away in Hayes and now the risk of another appliance going away in Ealing. Can you tell me what the impact has been across my constituency, West London, of losing the appliance from Hayes and what the impact will be of losing one in Ealing?

• Meeting date: 02 December 2015

Navin Shah AM: I have a couple of questions to the Commissioner. Given the safety risks from the scale and nature of the changes and cuts that will be faced by the LFB over the next years, how can you meaningfully get the views of London’s firefighters and their representatives?

• Meeting date: 02 December 2015

Andrew Dismore AM: Just to build on Val’s point, it is also important that we really promote first aid training in schools. I remember doing it when I was in the Sea Scouts and then, 20 years later, actually having to do it for real. It did take the ambulance some time to get there. Unfortunately, the chap died, but I did bring him back twice. The point I wanted to make is for Ron, really, and it is what Gareth said about the police doing co-responding, which they are. I was discussing this with a senior police officer the...

Roger Evans AM: I just wanted to add my support to Jenny’s suggestion that fire prevention people might look at flood prevention as well. I wondered if there was also a role for them to do some joint working with the MPS on crime prevention because at the moment we have fire prevention people who go out and tell people largely to provide more means of exit and entrance from their properties and then crime prevention people who go around and tell them to lock them up. Might it not be better if the two services worked together and more...

• Question by: Andrew Boff
• Meeting date: 02 December 2015

Andrew Boff AM: On the subject of safety, on 25 November 2015 there was a fire at a tyre shop in Walpole Road, N17. This shop has now reopened. Is it standard practice for there to be an investigation or an inspection subsequent to an incident and could you write to me and say whether or not there has been an inspection of these particular premises? The reason I chase this with you is that there have been some concerns from local residents for a considerable period but they do not seem to be getting any joy from Haringey Council...
