• 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...

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...

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.

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?

• Meeting date: 14 September 2017

With increases in the number of Metropolitan Police officers armed with firearms and tasers, and the use of intrusive tactics such as spit hoods and stop and search, what steps are you taking to ensure the human rights of all Londoners are respected?

• Question by: Siân Berry
• Meeting date: 07 December 2016

Sian Berry AM: I would like to ask for some quick clarification on some of the details of the London Living Rent homes within your funding programme, if that is OK. This product is not quite what renters were expecting. It is very similar to the Government’s existing Rent to Buy Scheme, which is not suitable for everyone. I wanted to ask. The Government’s Rent to Buy Scheme requires a good credit rating. Can you reassure Londoners worried that their credit history might hinder their ability to apply for London Living Rent homes that they will not need to have...

Jennette Arnold OBE AM (Chair): Could you set out the aims and objectives of the draft MALPs document as laid out before the Assembly? How will the alterations address the issues raised by the Assembly and the implications for the London Plan of changes to national policy? You can indicate whether you have touched on some aspects of that and we will then be able to make the link.

• Question by: Navin Shah
• Meeting date: 10 February 2016

Navin Shah AM: My question is about the zero carbon homes. When the MALP was first proposed it included new text which outlined how the Mayor was going to achieve zero carbon homes. This has now been removed from the final version. Has the Mayor given up on zero carbon homes entirely?
