This meeting took place on 17 June 2015. Read the transcript for the first section here and the second section here.
London Mayor Boris Johnson will face nine more question time sessions in front of London Assembly Members before his Mayoral term ends.
The London Assembly [2] questions the Mayor, in public, ten times a year at Mayor’s Question Time meetings, as part of its role of holding him to account [3].
The Assembly’s role is to act as a check and balance on the activities of the Mayor.
Tomorrow, the Mayor will face questions on subjects including:
How many Cycle Superhighways will be completed by the time he leaves office?
The number of cyclists Killed or Seriously Injured on London's roads had risen to 21% in 2013. What more can be done to make cycling safer in London?
Should train operators and TfL do more to promote the fact that commuters can receive compensation for late or cancelled journeys?
What net addition to the social housing stock in London should he be making each year?
The meeting will take place on Wednesday, 17 June 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.
The meeting can also be viewed via webcast.
