The London Assembly questions the Mayor, in public, ten times a year at Mayor’s Question Time (MQT) meetings, as part of its role of holding him to account[1].
Boris Johnson, will appear before the London Assembly[2] three more times before his Mayoral term ends. Tomorrow Assembly Members will ask him questions about:
- Directly commissioning new homes on public land in Old Oak Common
- Ensuring a one-for-one replacement of homes lost through Right to Buy
- Reducing nitrogen dioxide emissions in London
- Changes in the child poverty rate in the capital
The role of the Assembly is to act as a check and balance on the activities of the Mayor.
The meeting will take place on Wednesday, 20 January from 10:00am in The Chamber at City Hall (The Queen’s Walk, London SE1).
Media and members of the public are invited to attend.
