  • Question and Answer Session: Refugees in London (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Nick Rogers
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2023
    Nick Rogers AM: Thank you, Chair. Good morning, panel. I have some questions around English language skills, so I imagine they will probably sit best with Tunde Olayinka. Through the Adult Education Budget (AEB), the GLA funds English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) provision for around 40,000 people in London at a cost of approximately £40 million. Do you know how many refugees are amongst that 40,000?
  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Nick Rogers
    • Meeting date: 06 July 2023
    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...
  • Question and Answer Session: Transport for London (Supplementary) [13]

    • Question by: Susan Hall
    • Meeting date: 06 July 2023
    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?
  • Question & Answer Session: London's Long-Term Infrastructure Needs (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Nick Rogers
    • Meeting date: 08 June 2023
    Nick Rogers AM: Thank you, Chair. Question for Phil, following on from the discussion we were having with Assembly Members Garratt and Cooper. In your work, you said you were working on the local energy plan with authorities in West London, so with that work and more broadly, are you looking at all at large scale battery storage, as a potential solution to build resilience into the grid?
  • Question and Answer Session: London Legacy Development Corporation (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Susan Hall
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2023
    Susan Hall AM: Thank you. I will be very brief. Lyn, at the December [2022] Budget and Performance [Committee] meeting, I asked you whether you would ask the Mayor to get more involved in the search for a Stadium sponsor. What progress have you made on that?
  • Question and Answer Session: London Fire Commissioner and Deputy Mayor for Fire and Resilience (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Susan Hall
    • Meeting date: 09 February 2023
    Thank you. Morning, both. Deputy Mayor, there cannot be anybody around this table who was not horrified by the Cultural Review; some of us thought that it would be bad, but some of the things that were reported were absolutely disgraceful. Now, as normal, we ask for the Mayor to attend Plenary meetings because he is ultimately responsible politically. He always refuses, although he has told me once, “Just pick up the phone and I will attend meetings.” The reason he is not here today, he says, is because he has been summonsed by us on three occasions and therefore...
  • Question and Answer Session: Policing (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Susan Hall
    • Meeting date: 01 December 2022
    Susan Hall AM: Thank you. May I say first of all, Sir Mark, thank you for your robust answers to Assembly Member Russell. There is no doubt that politicians do mean well, but it is absolutely vital that we look at things in the round. I really applaud your robust answers. To be fair, Sir Steve House had started to row back, and I am pleased to see that you are saying what you are because figures on both sides of an argument need to be looked at. Thank you for that; I was thrilled to hear that. Mr Mayor...
  • Question and Answer Session: Policing (Supplementary) [14]

    • Question by: Nick Rogers
    • Meeting date: 01 December 2022
    Nick Rogers AM: Thank you, Chair, and the first question is to the Mayor. The MPS Estates Strategy was apparently handed to your office in Q1 of 2021/22. What are the reasons behind the delay in publishing it, and when do you expect to have that Strategy published?
  • Question and Answer Session: Policing (Supplementary) [21]

    • Question by: Susan Hall
    • Meeting date: 01 December 2022
    Susan Hall AM: T hank you. Mr Mayor, I do not know what is happening. We have been agreeing an awful lot today, which is somewhat unusual; however, I want to bring your attention to something. All of us agree that our police officers are invaluable, as are firefighters, ambulance drivers and so on. Many of them, because of the cost of housing in London, have to come in from outside. Consequently, quite naturally, the Metropolitan Police Federation is incensed that you are going to expand the Ultra-Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) because it would mean that so many officers, who...
  • Question and Answer Session: Proposed Revision to the Mayor of London's Transport Strategy (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Nick Rogers
    • Meeting date: 17 November 2022
    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...
