Plenary session of the London Assembly where we grill those stalwarts and London worthies responsible for our well-being in the aftermath of a catastrophic event in London.

London Resilience – the grouping tasked with our safety – is multi-headed and even after the session I am not totally convinced that we know who will lead in the event of an incident.

They say they are in control. They say anything that is not yet in place is on the way to being in place. We (LibDems) suggest that they produce a detailed instruction booklet as they have in New York. The New York one is great. It really makes you feel that you can prepare to the best of your ability and know what you need in your head, in your home and in your area. We should do the same. Happily, for once, the Assembly agrees and we pass a motion to produce one for London.

Latter off to St Martin’s in the Fields for Transport for London’s charity carol service for the transport world. An hour and a half of doing something I wanted to do. I normally don’t manage to get to any of the carol services I am invited to at this time of year due to pressure of work and my kids expecting Christmas on the 25th – no possibility of moving that deadline! But this year I am determined to get to one – and I do. It was not a wonder of the world, but it was nice to stop and have that experience in the run up to Christmas.
