- Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (4 June 2008) has video
Boris Johnson: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and thank you for all your kindness over the years. Can I use my last few seconds in this great cockpit of our nation to ask the Prime Minister to join me in congratulating the London authorities on successfully implementing the ban on alcohol on tubes and buses, and on doubling the safer transport teams so that we will have more uniformed people on buses than at any...

- Deferred Division: Crime (London) (23 April 2008) has video
Boris Johnson: I agree deeply with my hon. Friend's profound analysis of what is going wrong on London transport. The 100 per cent. tolerance of so-called minor disorder and minor crime on the buses and the tubes is aggravating more serious criminality on the streets and leading to the real scandal that a person is twice as likely to be mugged on our streets in London today as in New York. That is because...

Boris Johnson: It may help my hon. Friend to know that the proposal is for live CCTV on buses. As I think the right hon. Member for Enfield, North (Joan Ryan) is about to say, there already is CCTV on buses, but in only 5 per cent. of cases is that CCTV made available when a crime has been committed.

Boris Johnson: Will the hon. Gentleman give way?
- Topical Debate: Policing in London (27 March 2008) has video
Boris Johnson: Does my hon. Friend agree that the huge majority of Londoners would listen with more interest to the words of the Labour hon. Member for Islington, South and Finsbury (Emily Thornberry), who said only this month that scarcely a child or teenager in her constituency had not been mugged? Is not that testimony far more powerful than the fictitious statistics of that Minister?

- Topical Debate: Policing in London (27 March 2008) has video
Boris Johnson: Since the Minister asked a question, I would be delighted to enlighten him. Let me tell him that Londoners, given the choice between spending £63 million on further publicity for the Mayor of London or having 440 transport PCSOs on the buses, would rather spend £16 million, which is what I am proposing to spend, on another 440 PCSOs on the buses. Is the Minister in favour of that?...

- Deferred Division: Post Office Closures (19 March 2008) has video
Boris Johnson: My hon. Friend is making an excellent point. I speak for Henley, where we face closures in Stanton St. John and Crowmarsh Gifford, but the closure of post offices affects the elderly population not only in rural communities; I also have direct experience of the issue in London, where elderly people are being deprived of vital services. By closing post offices, we not only deprive the elderly...
- Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (12 March 2008) has video
Boris Johnson: Given that the Prime Minister has once again misrepresented my policy and given that the hon. Member for Islington, South and Finsbury (Emily Thornberry) said herself last week that there was scarcely a child in her constituency who had not been mugged, will the Prime Minister now join me in agreeing to reallocate some of the Mayor's publicity budget increment for next year to put another...
- Oral Answers to Questions — Communities and Local Government: Finance (London) (26 February 2008)
Boris Johnson: Is it not time for a full and transparent register of the interests of the Mayor's advisers, so that we can put an end to the scandal by which large sums of LDA money are transferred to groups or bodies with which it later transpires those advisers have some business connection?

- Points of Order (30 January 2008) has video
Boris Johnson: I thank you, Mr. Speaker, for staying. Since I am sure that the Prime Minister inadvertently misled the House when he said that I wanted to cut spending on the Metropolitan police, and since that is the exact opposite of the case—I want to get more police officers out on the beat to reverse the rise in violent crime over the past eight years and to restore to our streets, buses and...
- Oral Answers to Questions — Communities and Local Government: London Development Agency/Mayor of London (15 January 2008)
Boris Johnson: May I draw the Minister's attention to a letter from MPs of all three parties, calling for an urgent investigation by the local district auditor? In their words: "The LDA can no longer be a credible investigator of these allegations." Will he confirm that he will take absolutely no further steps to protect the taxpayer in London and the United Kingdom from the wastefulness and cronyism that...
- Opposition Day — [5th allotted day]: Higher Education (8 January 2008)
Boris Johnson: Can the Minister, for whom I have the highest regard, explain exactly how he will increase opportunities for people who have not yet had a degree by taking away opportunities from those who might go on to acquire further qualifications?
- Opposition Day — [5th allotted day]: Higher Education (8 January 2008) has video
Boris Johnson: When it was my privilege to help shadow the Minister for Lifelong Learning, Further and Higher Education, I had the pleasure of giving the founders day address at Birkbeck college. I also saw a great deal of the wonderful work done in universities across London. It is also one of the most important jobs of the Mayor of London to speak up for education in London, to use all his powers to...
