    • Meeting date: 16 November 2017
    Sir Mark Boleat (Chair of The Housing and Finance Institute) has recently called for a complete overhaul, of what he calls, deeply flawed planning system which gives far too much attention to 'articulate groups who make a lot of noise'. He's asking to hugely reduce influence of residents and calling for Australian style streamlined planning panels. Do you agree with any of his proposals and would these influence your London Plan?

    • Question by: Andrew Dismore
    • Meeting date: 16 November 2017
    There have been press reports that a privately-owned tower block is being kept under round-the-clock guard by firefighters with a fire engine after it was found to be covered in dangerous combustible cladding. Is this correct and if so have similar fire cover been offered to publically or housing association owned blocks at risk; and if not why not?
  • Question tile: Sprinklers in schools

    • Reference: 2017/4565
    • Question by: Andrew Dismore
    • Meeting date: 16 November 2017
    Figures show only a third of new schools in England have sprinklers. The Fire Commissioner has rightly criticised draft proposals to relax the rules. Will you lobby for a change in the Building Regulations, to ensure that new schools in London have sprinklers fitted; and that the Government should fund the retrospective fitting in existing schools?
