David Kurten AM: Mr Mayor, it seems like we are back in 2016 with all of these statements you are making and the points you are putting to the Assembly. We have had four and a half years since the referendum and the right thing to do is actually to push ahead and make sure that we come out of the EU properly on 31 December [2020]. We should not be using COVID as an excuse to delay Brexit for another year and have another year of transition as you are saying we should do. Do you not see the...

German Doctor Dr Heiko Schöning was arrested by the Met Police Territorial Support Group at Speakers' Corner at Hyde Park on the afternoon of 26 September 2020 whilst addressing a crowd. Could you explain why he was arrested and what he has been charged with?

Why did the Territorial Support Group police officers who conducted the arrest of Dr Heiko Schöning at Speakers' Corner at Hyde Park on the afternoon of 26 September 2020 cover their name tags and numbers - clipping their phones over them, or cover them with their tabards. Given its own unhappy history with this particular issue, the Metropolitan Police will be particularly aware why uniformed police officers on public order duties must be capable of being identified at all times. The alleged re-appearance of this practice is highly disappointing. Who authorised it and why?

I understand from a report in the Evening Standard 1 that TfL intends to stop accepting cash to top up Oyster cards in all London Underground stations. This step will disadvantage people who do not have bank accounts, many of whom are on low incomes. It will also impact secondary school pupils, who are due to lose their free travel passes in November and will find it impossible to top-up their Oyster cards if they don’t have a bank account. What is your thinking behind this development? 1 https://www.standard.co.uk/news/transport/cash-payments-scrapped-tube-l…
