Ecuadorian Embassy Intruder
Question No: 2016/2914
David Kurten
How was it possible for a potential intruder to scale the walls of the Ecuadorian Embassy when
there is a permanent police guard stationed outside?
Thamesmead Broadband
Question No: 2016/2915
David Kurten
Thamesmead is an area of London which is lacking in superfast broadband access. It has
apparently been stuck at the "Field Survey" stage with no hope of progress for almost 2 years,
despite reassurance that this survey takes on average 9 months to complete. Will the Mayor
write to the DCMS and BT to ask them to speed up the process so that the people of
Thamesmead have access to superfast broadband as soon as possible?
Air Pollution
Question No: 2016/2916
David Kurten
The recent report from King's College, commissioned by the GLA and TfL, estimates that
between 3,537 and 9,416 people may by dying prematurely as a result of PM2.5 and nitrogen
dioxide air pollution. Will the Mayor undertake in future not to say that '9,500 people are dying
every year' as this is inaccurate and above the upper limit stated in the King's College report,
but rather to state the number more accurately as 'between 3,500 and 9,400'?
T charge
Question No: 2016/2917
David Kurten
It was stated by a member of staff of TfL that the T charge will have little to no effect in
reducing air pollution. Why are you implementing a scheme which will cost millions of pounds,
hurt the poorest car drivers while doing nothing to reduce pollution from buses or lorries, and
have little to no effect in achieving your aim of reducing NOx and PM2.5 levels?
Election Review
Question No: 2016/2918
Peter Whittle
What representations (if any) have you made to the government on the subject of
constitutional reform - given the UK's increasingly fractured political landscape and the
increasing unsuitability of first-past-the-post as an electoral model?
