  • Lead off question - Delays to Crossrail (Supplementary) [1]

    • 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...
  • Lead off question - Delays to Crossrail (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Florence Eshalomi MP
    • Meeting date: 06 September 2018
    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...
  • Lead off question - Delays to Crossrail (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Caroline Russell
    • Meeting date: 06 September 2018
    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.

    • Question by: Keith Prince

    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?

  • Counter-Terrorism (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 17 September 2014
    Mr Mayor, can I raise the issue of sectarian tensions in London from the Middle East conflicts between Sunni and Shia? I welcome the comments you made to Andrew Boff AM that you do not want to see international disputes come to the streets of London. In the past 15 months I have seen a number of incidents which concern me. The first was raised by Lebanese businesses on the Edgware Road about Anjem Choudary’s [cleric] mob inciting clearly religious hatred aimed at Shias. It was dealt with as a public order offence but an opportunity was missed to deal...
  • Limitations of CCTV

    • Reference: 2007/0109-1
    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 07 November 2007
    A joint report by the Home Office and police found that more than 80% of CCTV pictures are of such poor quality they are no good for police purposes, and most cameras are in the wrong places to help in fighting serious crime or terrorism. * Is the purpose of CCTV cameras, to tackle low-level, high-volume crime and disorder in town centres, being undermined by a lack of quality? * The report also claimed that authorities have no idea how many cameras exist despite claims that Britain is the most watched nation in the world, with more than 4m in...
