Londoners will have their first opportunity to see their new Mayor and Assembly at work when the first meeting and first Mayor’s Question Time of the new session are held later this month.
The annual meeting of the London Assembly will take place is at 10am on Friday 9 May, as with most Assembly meetings it will be open to the public and is also available as a webcast.
The meeting will elect a Chair and Deputy Chair of the Assembly and appoint Chairs, Deputies and members to Assembly committees and bodies.
On Wednesday 21 May the first Mayor’s Question Time will take place in the chamber at City Hall. This will be the first opportunity the Assembly have to quiz Mayor Boris Johnson on any appointments and decisions he’s taken since the election.

May 5, 2008 at 9:48 amHi,
Having read reports that Conservative and Labour leaders on the assembly have said they will support civil servant staff at City Hall who intend to shun, block,and not work, or assist the newly elected British National Party candidate Mr. Barnbrook at City Hall, I would like to have the offical view on this matter please ?
Surely Civil servants will be in breach of their contracts of employment if this is allowed to happen ?, and I can see all sorts of problems for the GLA if this is allowed to happen not least huge compensation/Human rights claims being submitted to those wronged.
I suggest all these hot-heads are brought together at a meeting to remind them of their contractual obligations at City Hall. The British National Party have been elected, and it’s about time the immature people being paid by the London taxpayer, got on with their jobs at City Hall and stopped getting involved with their own personal views.
There will be many people watching to see what happens at City Hall and four years is a long time – so please do what you have to do to to allow the democratic process to procede at City Hall. Those who don’t like what they now see at City Hall can resign if they don’t like it. Thank you. Ron Duron
