  • Subject: 3rd Runway Mitigation (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Tom Copley
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2015
    Tom Copley AM: Sir Howard, good morning. We are very supportive of the idea of an independent aviation noise authority. In December 2013, your interim report called on the Government to establish such a body. When has it said it will do so?

  • Subject: 3rd Runway Mitigation (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2015
    Len Duvall AM: Thank you for your earlier clarification around where air quality fits into the hierarchy of mitigation issues, but could you just clarify in terms of your report and your findings? Is it that pollution levels must come down around Heathrow before it is even built or could you envisage it being built and then taking pollution levels? Others would argue that some of your findings around air quality, comparisons and issues are slightly unrealistic. Give us the background of that.

  • Meagre benefits from a third runway (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2015
    Mayor John Biggs AM: I would like to be in a position to apologise for some fellow Members of the Assembly. I will start by thanking you enormously for the work you have done and for the very thorough way in which you answered the question you were asked, while recognising that there is a significant minority of people who believe it was the wrong question and that there are quite a lot of other people who seek elected office - and maybe occasionally I am a bit like this - and who would like to pretend that the desire...

  • Meagre benefits from a third runway (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2015
    Joanne McCartney AM: Can we move to issues raised in chapter 7, the economic impacts assessment, and in particular the PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) report into the wider economic benefits of Heathrow? I understand that you put the PwC report out to your expert panel to do a peer review and it came back. If I can quote from its report, it said, “We counsel caution in attaching significant weight either to the absolute or relative results of the ... PwC report”, and stated that the methodology used was “unique or at least very unusual”. Yet your final report quotes extensively from...

  • Transparency in the Metropolitan Police Service (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    Yes, thank you, Chair. I have a couple of questions for the Commissioner and for the Mayor. It is moving away; it is still on transparency but it is moving away from the topic raised by my colleague. Roger Evans AM (Chair): Not too far. Jennette Arnold OBE AM (Deputy Chair): Not too far but it is just to do with transparency. My question is in terms of transparency, in terms of what the MPS says and what the MPS does. I think that is really a good link. I want to ask the Commissioner in terms of what the...

  • Meeting London’s Current and Future Policing Needs (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    My first set of questions are actually for the Commissioner, if I may, and I have some for the Mayor following that. Thank you for the comments about the Autumn Statement and the difficulties financially that the police are going to have in the future. A couple of weeks ago the Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime talked about drastic and dangerous police cuts which will have to happen. You have talked, I believe, today, and I have certainly had reports from ITN, that it would be difficult to maintain the 32,000 police officers on an ongoing basis. Could I...

  • Meeting London’s Current and Future Policing Needs (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    Thank you, Chair. Good afternoon, Commissioner. Good afternoon, Mayor. Commissioner, can I just talk to you about police response times? I can see from the tables which MOPAC has provided to us that the emergency response times of the police across London for the past two years have slipped in the wrong direction, particularly for Category S, which is the ‘respond in one hour’, and Category E, which is the ‘respond to within 48 hours’. Second and third priority response times have gotten worse. I notice this particularly because it has affected my own borough; Southwark have lost 5% of...

  • Independent Aviation Noise Authority

    • Reference: 2014/2280
    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 18 June 2014
    The Commission has proposed the creation of an “Independent Aviation Noise Authority”. Can you outline what noise issues you believe the Authority should address?

  • Independent Aviation Noise Authority (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 18 June 2014
    Murad Qureshi AM: Sir Howard, sticking with the here and now with the compensation and mitigation of airport noise, I just want to be reassured. In coming to a decision regarding aviation expansion, what weight will you give to the present offer that Heathrow Holdings has made regarding the £500 million for noise insulation and property compensation?

  • Planning for Britain’s future aviation needs (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Onkar Sahota
    • Meeting date: 18 June 2014
    Dr Onkar Sahota AM: Sir Howard, you said you will not resurrect the idea of a link between Heathrow and Gatwick but you are still keeping the critically ill patient, the estuary airport, alive. Is it not time to switch off the ventilator on that idea or do you think it is something which you think is still a plausible idea? Listening to you this morning, I can see all the arguments why the estuary airport is not a goer anyway.
