• Question by: Fiona Twycross
• Meeting date: 02 December 2015

Fiona Twycross AM: I wanted to correct the impression that was given that the way it has been operating at the moment has been simply about opposition Members [on LFEPA] getting at the Mayor. The fact is that the Mayor has insisted on managing by Direction even when there has not been an impasse, including on issues over which there has been cross‑party agreement by LFEPA Members. I just wondered if you could focus a little bit on what impact the Mayor’s insistence on management by Direction has had. To be honest, we have had Directions on all sorts of...

Richard Tracey AM: Chairman, probably this is one for you as the politician of the two of you. The fact is, surely, that government, particularly local government, has been changing very considerably over recent years. That is accepted. The straight point to you: is it not correct that perhaps LFEPA in its current form is out of date and past its sell‑by date, really?

Fiona Twycross AM: We obviously have to make sensible use of resources in the face of cuts. Some of the new technology that could come online is really interesting and will offer exciting possibilities, but do you agree with the Londoner who contacted me yesterday to say that £283,000 for a website rebuild is bordering on scandalous?

What net addition to the social housing stock in London should you be making each year?

• Question by: John Biggs
• Meeting date: 23 May 2012

Darren Johnson (Deputy Chair): Assembly Member Biggs has a point of order. John Biggs (AM): The Chair told us there was a standing order about making assertions for which there was no evidence. Now, the Mayor has at the one time made an assertion for which he has evidence that he can cut council tax. Now he has made another assertion that on fares, he can make no such commitment. There is a fundamental inconsistency, it seems to me, under standing orders. Either one can be said and the other cannot, and either the both can be said or neither...

Do you ask this question though; are your delivery companies and so on charging you?

I do often go through Earl's Court, simply because I can never get a Circle Line Tube, so I have to go there to get onto a District Line to go down in that part of West London. Should the emphasis not actually be on electronic information and the signs there being replaced as quickly as possible with electronic information, rather than putting it out on a tannoy, which I actually have not heard ever whenever I pass right through Earl's Court?

What proportion of new homes envisaged for the London Thames Gateway will not be deliverable without major enhancement of flood management schemes? When can we expect to see agreement and commencement of a programme of major enhancement of flood management in the London Thames Gateway? .

I am sure we will all feel completely safe in the hands of developers here in London, especially putting in an environmental project that they probably do not have very much sympathy for in the first place. I just think it is incredibly premature to start planning homes, houses or buildings before we have actually had any sort of flood management assessment. I think it is expected in 2008 or 2009, the interim results are going to be in May this year, apparently, but plans are already in hand. How can you possibly do that?
