  • Key Challenges for the London Fire Brigade (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Leonie Cooper
    • Meeting date: 08 February 2018
    Leonie Cooper AM: Thank you very much, Chair. Like other Assembly Members, I would like to join with adding my congratulations to both of you. It seems very appropriate in this week, when we have just celebrated the 100th anniversary of some women being given the vote and changes to the Representation of the People Act, to see both a female Commissioner and also yet another woman Deputy Mayor. I am very pleased to say that the Mayor has made that part of his modus operandi , it would be fair to say, in who he has appointed as his...

  • Key Challenges for the London Fire Brigade (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Florence Eshalomi MP
    • Meeting date: 08 February 2018
    Florence Eshalomi AM: Good morning to you both. I wanted to add my congratulations to both of you for your new appointments. I do remember watching the tragedy of Grenfell unfold because my son was just a week old and so we were watching the news all night long. I just commend you both for the courage and leadership that you showed through some of the difficult challenges that London has witnessed over the last year. I wanted to focus on some of the work that the LFB leads on youth engagement and how we get our young people involved...

  • Key Challenges for the London Fire Brigade (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 08 February 2018
    Jennette Arnold OBE AM: Thank you, Acting Chair, Deputy Chairman. Commissioner, I have some questions for you and, like my colleagues, let me add my congratulations to you on your appointment as the first female Fire Commissioner. Now, I heard the answers you gave to my colleague Assembly Member Russell’s questions about gender and so I want to ask now specifically about racial diversity. From the LFB’s monitoring data of December 2017, I see here that from the operational staff of 4,612, 606 were of BAME heritage: 13.14%. We will all know that that is quite woeful. Can I just...

  • Key Challenges for the London Fire Brigade (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Tony Devenish
    • Meeting date: 08 February 2018
    Tony Devenish AM: Good morning, Deputy Mayor. If we tried to paint a picture of the LFB in, say, eight years, 2026, could you paint me some big pictures of what the real differences will be, please?

  • Key Challenges for the London Fire Brigade (Supplementary) [13]

    • Question by: Onkar Sahota
    • Meeting date: 08 February 2018
    Dr Onkar Sahota AM: First of all, let me add my congratulations on your nomination, Dr Fiona Twycross, as the Deputy Mayor and also your reappointment, Commissioner, to the post. I want to talk about the assistance given to the firefighters and to operational and non-operational staff after the tragic event of Grenfell, and ask what support was given to the fire service.

  • LFPA Statement of Investment Principles (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 17 January 2007
    You can see from the questions that you have been asked today this is clearly a hot topic for us, and also, as politicians, we are very concerned about the issue of openness and the public knowing. So far this aspect has not been in the annual report, that is other information that I have. Is that not true? This is something you bring in to the annual report or is it simply that it is the first time you have had it so it has not happened yet?

  • LFPA Statement of Investment Principles (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 17 January 2007
    Then I would like to conclude by pushing you to go further and to be public with people like us and, indeed, the 70,000 contributors so that in things that, as it were, I get, I can see you living out what you say your policy is, which is in the question, that you are progressively improving over time. Currently, I do not see that, and I think you should.

  • LFPA Statement of Investment Principles (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 17 January 2007
    Judging from your answers, some of the information I have here that I was going to ask you about is completely erroneous, and I am going to be delighted if you tell me I am completely wrong. I would like to follow on from my colleague Mike's [Tuffrey] excellent line of questioning on openness. The feeling is generally that there is not as much openness from you as there are from other companies who have got the same sort of ethical and socially responsible stance. Can I clarify; you commented on the voting record, however my understanding is that although...

  • LFPA Statement of Investment Principles (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 17 January 2007
    Thank you, and I welcome you and thank you for coming. This is an important topic if not one that the media particularly get very excited about. This question is all about socially responsible, ethical investment, and you will be aware that there is quite a debate as to whether there is a choice to be made between returns and ethics. My own view and what is behind this question is that if one is positively engaging - which is, I think, what your strategy is - then the two agendas come together, because the long term sustainable return is...

  • LFPA Statement of Investment Principles (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 17 January 2007
    So if you have an approach or a strategy around engagement on these sorts of issues, is that in the public domain? Again, I could not find if you are engaging, which is the right strategy, what you are actually engaging on. And if you do not, will you promise to put that in the public domain?
