  • Question and Answer Session: Policing (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Tony Devenish
    • Meeting date: 01 December 2022
    Tony Devenish AM: Thank you. My questions are for Sir Mark, please. Eighty days into the job and clearly you are talking about good signals that things are getting better in policing in London, and I want to pick two topics, please. The first is obviously anti-Semitism, and AM Pidgeon has already mentioned the terrible incident last year in Hanukkah on Oxford Street. Is there any progress, please, on that investigation? You realise it is not specifically the investigation itself; it is the signal that that sends in terms of fighting anti-Semitism.

  • Question and Answer Session: Policing (Supplementary) [16]

    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 01 December 2022
    Andrew Boff AM (Deputy Chair in the Chair): Thank you. I am now going to speak from the Chair - and, yes, the [group] clock is going. I was at a public meeting yesterday in South Hampstead; it was a packed meeting and the meeting subject was about law and order in the area. Residents there were very, very concerned about the open drug taking - in fact, open drug dealing - taking place around Finchley Road station, and aggressive begging. There was an impression amongst those present that there was a lack of visibility of the police, and some...

  • Question and Answer Session: Policing (Supplementary) [22]

    • Question by: Tony Devenish
    • Meeting date: 01 December 2022
    Tony Devenish AM: Thank you, Chair. I am going to follow the Chair’s request earlier, Sir Mark, in terms of South Hampstead and also ask if you could look at blatant drug dealing in Earl’s Court. My wider question is: do you think, once you have been in office for a good year, we could get rid of blatant drug dealing? It has become far more blatant right across London in recent years. It really does - I use an old-fashioned expression - lower the tone of an area. It is all about trying to reassure Londoners that we are...

  • Question and Answer Session: Legacy of the 2012 London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Tony Devenish
    • Meeting date: 06 October 2022
    Tony Devenish AM: Thank you, Chair. My question is to the Deputy Mayor and the Chief Executive. Good afternoon. I believe that the LLDC will be wound up in just a few years’ time. You can probably perhaps remind me of the date to make sure I get the right date. What is the issue in terms of a risk register for the governance for that? Are you specifically concerned at all about the competence of any of the boroughs to take over those powers, particularly one borough with the initials T-H?

    • Question by: Andrew Boff

    Andrew Boff AM (Deputy Chair): Mayor Fiaz, [there have been] no new housing developments on the Carpenters Estate for ten years. Are you proud of that record?

  • Adult Education Budget (Supplementary) [20]

    • Question by: Tony Devenish
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2022
    Tony Devenish AM: Good morning or, rather, good afternoon, Deputy Mayor. You have a third of a billion pounds to spend a year. That is an awful lot of money. From what you said this morning I am not really sure if there is the step change in London that I would have thought for something you have full control on. The Mayor’s inability to turn up today illustrates. Is he actually interested in this hugely important area of public policy?
