The Assembly examines the Mayor’s activities and questions him about his decisions. The Assembly is also able to investigate other issues of importance to Londoners, publish its finding and recommendations, and make proposals to the Mayor. The Assembly conducts much of its business through formal public meetings and investigative committees.

The London Assembly’s scrutiny committees consult with government, a wide range of public and private sector organisations and members of the public.

Members of the Assembly also sit on the functional bodies which run the GLA’s services. For example, Murad Qureshi is a member of the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority (LFEPA).
