• Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
• Meeting date: 06 September 2018

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Thank you. Mr Mayor, just ten weeks ago, in answer to a Mayoral question (MQ), you stated, “The Elizabeth line remains on course to open as planned in December 2018”. The Commissioner, in the TfL Board report of 25 July [2018] stated, “Crossrail remains on course to open as planned in December”. Sir Terry, on 6 June, when the Transport Committee visited Tottenham Court Road with you, you gave me an absolute assurance that the opening of Crossrail would be in December. You even confirmed the date, Sunday, 9 December when the Queen would be opening...

Florence Eshalomi AM: Thank you. To come back to Crossrail, on this side [of the table] we definitely recognise the scale of this project but once completed it will be a big success for London. I am definitely looking forward to when it opens. You may be aware of Rob Holden’s [CBE, Chairman, High Speed 1] letter last week in The Times where he stated, “The problems with Crossrail arose from the decision taken in 2011 to delay the procurement of new rolling stock, a decision that has affected the commissioning of those new trains ... signalling was always going...

Caroline Russell AM: Thank you, Chairman. I want to ask about the experience of the passengers who are waiting to use this line but before I get on to those questions I want to pick up on something that Sir Terry said at the very beginning. You said, “We mitigated one risk and others materialised”. I wonder if you could expand on that a bit more, whether that is what has caused this decision about the delay.

Keith Prince AM: Thank you, Chairman. Good morning, Sir Terry. I am trying to get some dates straight in my head. You mentioned a Board meeting in July [2018] where it was raised that there could be problems. Could you tell me the date of that meeting in July, please?

• Meeting date: 28 June 2017

Len Duvall AM: Thank you very much. To go back to the most challenging issue and just briefly about what, Mike, you said around technology and when technology becomes available, we know that that is constantly evolving and speeding up in some cases. Val, in answer to the question from Assembly Member Bailey, you talked about how this document really is what is in the business plan we are concentrating on and you have no long‑term plans, but in the direction of travel of the document it is quite clear you are supporting the Assembly Transport Committee’s plans for road...

Does the Metropolitan Police Service actually accept in broad principle the findings of the Leveson Inquiry?

Yes, we have just got a few questions about Operation Condor, and I think my colleague, Andrew, has some questions about this as well. Deputy Commissioner, you recently carried out the operation in my corner of town in Havering and Redbridge, I think you arrested one person in Havering and nobody in Redbridge. How do you judge the impact of a large-scale operation like that against the resource costs?

• Meeting date: 20 December 2012

Obviously because the time has slipped for getting bids in to you by the end of February but the schemes are going to be starting in April, the new financial year, it does not give them very much leeway. Will you be giving them some extra leeway in how they can deliver those schemes?

• Meeting date: 20 December 2012

This is an incredibly difficult area because in fact you do not want to stop whistle-blowers. You do not want to stop the police officers who are reporting on illegal activities within the Metropolitan Police Service. You want them to come forward. At the same time, you do not want false allegations leaked. In the past, the Metropolitan Police Service has had incidents where that has happened and officers do not seem to have been published. We have the de Menezes stuff and we have the Tomlinson stuff. Metropolitan Police Service officers have got away with false allegations or false...
