  • Vision for Old Oak Common (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Caroline Russell
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2017
    Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Thank you. I have three specific questions I would like to ask you. To fulfil your vision, your modelling shows you are going to need a nursery in place by 2020 and another two years later. I am pleased you have made progress on this in your work. We are rapidly approaching 2018 now. Are you confident the funding is going to be in place and that they will be completed on time?
  • Tackling congestion in London

    • Reference: 2017/2836
    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 13 July 2017
    Why does your draft Transport Strategy contain no proposals to change the Congestion Charge or bring in road pricing to tackle congestion?
  • Utilising Capacity at Airports in the South East.

    • Reference: 2015/2494
    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2015
    Given the extensive political opposition to a third runway at Heathrow and the inevitable legal and planning challenges that will arise it is almost certain expansion is unlikely to happen in the foreseeable future at Heathrow. In light of these realities do you believe sufficient attention has been given to improving surface transport to ensure that the significant spare air capacity at existing airports in the south east is fully utilised.
  • Devolution of rail services

    • Reference: 2015/1238
    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 21 May 2015
    What discussions have you had with the Department for Transport on the further devolution of suburban rail services to Transport for London?
  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    Is not the truth here that there is no planning? This has mushroomed completely out of control. Until we started asking questions you and the Mayor did not know the volume of it. We are told that since we started asking questions he in particular has been amazed at the volume of travelling going on.
  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    One final question. Studying your documents there do not seem to be a vast number of trips being planned, for example, to other Commonwealth countries, with which Britain already has very good relations but could be improved. Is there a particular reason why that is the case?
  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    That is not the point I am raising.
  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    One of the considerations might be that we have had very clear ones to Cuba, Venezuela etc, which do not strike us as being those areas which would be immediately promoting London as such an important international city. Clearly, that is a priority. Why?
  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    What is behind it is I do not believe there is actually any monitoring and tracking.
  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    It is just that you are making comments to us like, `It is good to go to New York because tourists spend a huge amount of money in London'. The implication is if the Mayor did not go to New York the tourists would not come to London. What actual value is that adding?
