  • Drug Intervention Programme

    • Reference: 2012/0069-2
    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 20 December 2012
    Let us move on to the drug intervention programme. Obviously you are having the budget for this devolved from the Home Office. It is a considerable sum of money. How are you going to manage the programme?
  • Front Counters (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 27 September 2012
    This is another of those cases I am afraid where there has been leakage in some parts of town and there are protests already springing up around various sites and people are hearing different things. Obviously, we appreciate you have a difficult job to do. I had one case at Wanstead where the police station was actually closed ten years ago and opened again because it was found to be necessary. I guess my question to you is how will you make sure in this strategy that you do not find yourself in a situation again where something is closed...
  • Peel Centre (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 27 September 2012
    Yes, thank you, Chair. Can I ask the Deputy Mayor, in the light of the PC Harwood episode, are you now satisfied with the vetting procedures for employees of the Metropolitan Police Service?
  • Performance of London Underground (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    Boris, there is some work going on on the District line at the moment to improve the service, which we are all very pleased about. This I think is really a question for the Commissioner. The work that is going on at the depot in Upminster is proving to be more disruptive to neighbours than they were told it would be, with noise and working for longer hours than they were told would take place, and I think what can fairly be described as an unhelpful attitude from some of the staff in the depot when the neighbours go around...
  • PPP/Metronet

    • Reference: 2007/0251-1
    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 05 December 2007
    Will the Commissioner make a statement on TfL's bid on Metronet?
  • Fare Evasion

    • Reference: 2007/0252-1
    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 05 December 2007
    Could the Commissioner comment on whether he feels Transport for London is doing enough to reduce fare evasion on London's buses?
  • TfL Financial Statements

    • Reference: 2007/0253-1
    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 05 December 2007
    Does the Commissioner believe that the Mayor is acting honestly in trumpeting the amount of money that TfL has given to London boroughs this year when, for the second year running, London boroughs have received a real terms cut in the amount of money Transport for London are providing them for improving the capital's roads and footpaths?
  • Oyster System

    • Reference: 2007/0254-1
    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 05 December 2007
    The Oyster system and the Oyster online system are not properly integrated as they have different passwords, and it is not possible to check your journey history online if you have topped up your card at a station. When customers request information by email, they are told that it can take up to 5 days, which means it is actually quicker to get it by post. Does the Commissioner believe that this system is cheap, efficient or environmentally friendly?
  • Fare Evasion

    • Reference: 2007/0255-1
    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 05 December 2007
    The Assembly's Transport Committee recently observed a team of Revenue Protection Inspectors greeting a succession of bendy buses. We were told that in a 2-hour period, the RPIs could expect to find 100-130 bus users without tickets and on every bus we saw a great number of bus passengers rush to escape from the bus as soon as they saw they would be checked. Unsurprisingly, it is difficult to ascertain quite how many passengers surreptitiously swiped their Oyster cards only after they had seen they would be checked. Is 100-130 bus users without tickets an acceptable figure?
  • TfL Budget (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 05 December 2007
    I find it extraordinary that you do not have a more detailed idea of the financial position and what we are either going to have to pay or what cloth we are going to have to cut, because it has been some time now since Metronet went into administration and it has been some time since Transport for London decided to bid for these contracts. Now at the very least, when you bid for the contracts you must have a clear idea of how much it is going to cost TfL and how much it is going to cost Londoners...
