    • Reference: 2017/3584
    • Question by: Siân Berry
    • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
    With increases in the number of Metropolitan Police officers armed with firearms and tasers, and the use of intrusive tactics such as spit hoods and stop and search, what steps are you taking to ensure the human rights of all Londoners are respected?
  • 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

    Why does your draft Transport Strategy contain no proposals to change the Congestion Charge or bring in road pricing to tackle congestion?
  • Mayor's manifesto commitments (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Siân Berry
    • Meeting date: 07 December 2016
    Sian Berry AM: I would like to ask for some quick clarification on some of the details of the London Living Rent homes within your funding programme, if that is OK. This product is not quite what renters were expecting. It is very similar to the Government’s existing Rent to Buy Scheme, which is not suitable for everyone. I wanted to ask. The Government’s Rent to Buy Scheme requires a good credit rating. Can you reassure Londoners worried that their credit history might hinder their ability to apply for London Living Rent homes that they will not need to have...
  • 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

  • Legacy

    • Reference: 2009/0117-1
    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    Do you believe that your employment targets for local people will provide the legacy that was promised in Singapore?
  • Living Wage

    • Reference: 2009/0115-1
    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    Is it acceptable that around 300 workers on the Olympic Park construction sites are receiving poverty pay?
  • Living Wage (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    Could I take up one point with you on the whole relative costs of salaries and so on? Mr Higgins, you, I think, serve with seven other directors on the ODA, receiving pretty substantial salaries. Indeed, I believe you, this last year, did forego half of your bonus until 2012. Would it be reasonable for you and your fellow directors to consider foregoing your complete bonus until you have finished the job, and then receive whatever you are entitled to, through the success you have achieved?
  • Living Wage (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Richard Barnbrook
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    ): I am happy to hear that we are actually on track with this and so the rumours I have been hearing that we are six to eight months behind have obviously been expelled by yourselves by saying we are actually on track, financially and work-wise. One thing I do have a concern with - and I have to follow other Members here - is the Living Wage or at least working wage of the London weighting. What I would like to have spelt out clearly is you are suggesting, by this time, October 2010, there will be 10,000 workers...
