Nick Rogers AM: Thank you, Chair. Good morning, Mr Mayor. Good morning, Commissioner. Mr Mayor, yesterday we heard [Mr] Justice Swift tell the High Court that he could make no promises that he would have reached a judgment in the ULEZ expansion judicial review before August, which suggests that he has found the evidence worthy of very serious consideration. That would potentially mean, if the judgment was made on 4 August [2023], that would be just four weeks until the planned expansion date. There are many Londoners, many businesses, many charities, who are waiting on the judgment before making a...

Susan Hall AM: Good morning, Mr Lord. At the moment, the ULEZ expansion Judicial Review has been heard, but we are still waiting for the judge’s judgment. How prepared is TfL for all the eventualities?

Nick Rogers AM: Thank you, Chair. Good afternoon, Mr Mayor; my questions are for you. I take issue with a couple of points that the Deputy Mayor made: he described this revision as a process point and a small addendum, where it is in fact neither of those things. What you are asking the Assembly to do today is to give our seal of approval to some very controversial policies that would have a negative financial impact on thousands of Londoners, and small businesses, across the city. I am sure everyone’s inboxes have been the same as mine, full of...

Susan Hall AM: Thank you, Chairman. Mr Mayor, this revision to the MTS is being regarded by the public as a vote on ULEZ - whether that is correct or not, that is the perception of Londoners. Given that, and given the fact that we have all been elected to represent Londoners in our various places, we should be listening to what Londoners are saying. Therefore, I do not understand why you will not let us know what the Londoners think in your consultation before you even brought this here. It is no good you sitting there saying that this...

Nick Rogers AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. Good morning, Commissioner. You talked about the Elizabeth line, and it is an absolutely fantastic piece of British engineering. I have really enjoyed travelling on it. It will make a huge difference, not just to London, but to the southeast and beyond. While we are all extremely happy that it is open, we cannot ignore the sometimes tortured journey that it took to get to that point. Do we have a clear picture, Mr Mayor, of the financial impact overall in terms of lost revenue and additional capital spending of the delay to...

Susan Hall AM: Good morning, gentlemen. Mr Mayor, do you agree with Lisa Nandy [MP] when she says she supports the rail strikes?

Nick Rogers AM: Mr Mayor, on page 98 of your Manifesto you promised to deliver a strategy for the suburbs. Could you please write to me outlining the progress you have made with that to date?

Nicholas Rogers AM: This is a question for you, Mr Mayor. As a local example of how the ULEZ expansion could potentially create a new challenge for London, we see the [London] Borough of Richmond [upon Thames]. As you know, the vast majority of that Borough will lie outside of the expanded ULEZ. However, the Townmead Road Reuse and Recycling Centre, which is the recycling centre for the entire Borough, will be just inside the expanded ULEZ. Townmead Road is effectively a cul-de-sac. It is just over the South Circular. I am sure you would agree that we want a...

Susan Hall AM: Good morning, gentlemen. I am very quick to criticise - and I am sure the Mayor will confirm that - but I really must state publicly a thank you to Andy Byford. We had an email exchange recently on a Friday night, which meant that a problem was resolved and residents in Northwood were very grateful. Way beyond the call of duty. Thank you very much for that. Mr Mayor, your independent review of TfL claimed that the pension scheme is outdated and must be reformed, and stated that its costs could be reduced by up to...

Nicholas Rogers AM: I have a question for the Mayor. We are welcoming the first of many hundreds, if not thousands, of arrivals from Afghanistan, just as we continue to welcome many new arrivals from Hong Kong. All of these people have much to contribute to this city and many will have specific skills, whether they are technical skills, engineering skills, customer service skills or whatever it might be. What are doing and what is TfL doing to match qualified Afghan arrivals and Hongkongers with suitable jobs within TfL so that the whole city can benefit from their skills and...
