  • New Years’ Celebrations

    • Reference: 2021/0052
    • Question by: Peter Whittle
    • Meeting date: 21 January 2021
    To ask the Mayor, how much in fines was handed out by the Metropolitan Police to Londoners celebrating the New Year? Commander Paul Brogden, leading this year’s operation, said: ‘We are still dealing with the stark reality of fighting a deadly virus. Although the New Year is almost upon us, now is not the time for complacency or to meet with others and hold parties of any kind. If people insist on gathering and breaching regulations, then officers will attend and encourage people to disperse. Where necessary, enforcement action, including fines starting at £100 and working their way up to...

  • No-Deal Brexit

    • Reference: 2020/4040
    • Question by: Peter Whittle
    • Meeting date: 19 November 2020
    I note your tweet of 13 October 2020 which was headed: ‘This is my final warning to the Government on Brexit.’ In it, you advised the Government to seek an extension to the EU trade negotiations, to avoid the ‘chaos and uncertainty from an impending no-deal Brexit.’ Has Her Majesty’s Government taken heed of your final warning?

  • London Curfew

    • Reference: 2020/4047
    • Question by: Peter Whittle
    • Meeting date: 19 November 2020
    On 20 September, LBC reported: ‘London mayor Sadiq Khan is said to be pressing for a 10pm curfew for pubs and work-from-home orders in the capital amid rising coronavirus cases.’ ‘The mayor is now urging ministers to extend the latest regional curbs – including ordering bars and restaurants to close at 10pm – to cover the capital as well, despite pleas from business leaders that such a move would be “devastating”.’ 1 However, on 7 October you tweeted: ‘We need a rapid review of the 10pm curfew. It is clearly hitting hospitality businesses hard, and it’s contributing to dangerous overcrowding...

  • Economic Recovery in London (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Peter Whittle
    • Meeting date: 23 July 2020
    Peter Whittle AM: Thank you very much, Mr Chair. Good morning to the panel. My question I think I have to ask you all, and maybe someone can answer it. It is just about London’s - if you want to call it - cultural industry. I do not mean by that necessarily the creative industry. I mean in terms of theatre, in terms of performing arts, in terms of all the things that make up a huge part of London life and, of course, the economy. What are your views on the future of that? How do you see that...

  • Brexit

    • Reference: 2020/2200
    • Question by: Peter Whittle
    • Meeting date: 16 July 2020
    On 23 June 2020, you tweeted: ‘Four years ago, the UK voted to leave the EU. Four years on, we still have no sign of a deal. The PM needs to put politics aside and extend the Brexit transition period so that our businesses and public services aren’t forced to face yet another cliff edge.’ Why is it you still find yourself unable to accept the will of the British People, as expressed in the democratic outcome of the referendum vote in 2016?

  • The Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm

    • Reference: 2020/2201
    • Question by: Peter Whittle
    • Meeting date: 16 July 2020
    As I stated at the last Mayor’s Question Time, I am perturbed by your decision to establish a Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm, thus making City Hall the arbiter of history in London. This should make us all deeply uncomfortable - no politician should take it upon themselves to become judge, jury, and executioner of a country’s history. In a liberal democracy, history should be debated and discussed, but never hidden or erased. Whether we like it or not, there are good, bad and ugly elements of Britain's past. London is the site of many national memorials and...

    • Meeting date: 18 June 2020
    Given that today’s MQT falls on the 205th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo – another occasion on which this country saved Europe from tyranny, could the Mayor please explain what he hopes to achieve by petitioning Her Majesty’s Government for an extension to the Brexit transition period?

    • Question by: Peter Whittle
    • Meeting date: 21 May 2020
    I note the content of your video conversation with Tehran’s Mayor Pirouz Hanachi on 24 April 2020 1 .
