Murad on his travels

FIRST WEEK IN JANUARY

After a brief respite over the holiday period, with the start of the new year it was back to business. On Monday 4th January I joined campaigners at Victoria station to protest against fare rises on London transport. On the 5th I met representatives of the RMT London Taxi Branch here at City Hall to discuss issues affecting the capital's cab trade. And the Jewish Chronicle reported on my efforts to persuade Chelsea FC to take action against antisemitic chanting at Stamford Bridge.

LAST WEEK

On Tuesday 12th January I joined the Crossrail All Party Parliamentary Group for a tour of the planned Crossrail route, to study the construction projects that are underway between Paddington and Canary Wharf. From Wednesday to Thursday I was away from London on an Environment Committee visit to the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh, where we discussed Scotland's energy and climate change policies with representatives of the Scottish Government. On Saturday 16th I was at Baden Powell House in Queen's Gate SW7 where Nurul Islam Nahid, the Bangladesh Education Minister, and Frank Dobson MP presented the Bangladesh High Commission's educational achievement awards. Later that day I attended the Ilm Day awards for young Muslim achievers at the Hilton Metropole in Edgware Road.

THIS WEEK

On the morning of Monday 18th January, I was at our family home to see a Home Action Survey carried out by an advisor from the Energy Saving Trust. In the evening, in my capacity as chair of the London Assembly Environment Committee, I was on the platform at the Mayor's public consultation meeting at the Kenneth More Theatre in Ilford where we answered questions from local people about environmental issues affecting the capital.

REST OF THE MONTH

At Mayor's Question Time on the 27th of January the London Assembly will be questioning Boris Johnson on his draft budget for 2010-11.
