• Question by: Kit Malthouse
• Meeting date: 10 February 2016

Kit Malthouse AM MP: Just on that particular point, do you think there is any danger, therefore, of the Western Extension of the Congestion Charge being revived?

• Question by: Roger Evans
• Meeting date: 10 February 2016

Roger Evans AM: Boris, I have been alarmed by some of the discussion from maybe some of the more eccentric people who wish to succeed you in your role, that they might consider extending Congestion Charge to cover the whole of Greater London. Obviously, if that idea was to gain currency I would hope that TfL would carry out a full consultation with residents in places like Havering and Redbridge so they can discuss their objection to this proposal.

Roger Evans AM: I undertake now not to mention the names of any mayoral candidates because, clearly, it will make such a difference to the election result! My colleagues are obviously delighted with the news that you are giving them about extensions to the tram in south London. For those of us who live north of the river, Mr Mayor, can you just reassure us that your predecessor’s expensive and disruptive proposals for a West London Tram and a Cross River Tram will remain in the dustbin of history where they belong?

• Question by: Steve O'Connell
• Meeting date: 20 January 2016

Steve O’Connell AM: My colleague, Dick Tracey [Richard Tracey AM], has stolen my later question in a much more thorough way than I probably could. I am pleased to hear your continued commitment for the tram. I believe that we are perhaps inching our way rather painfully over these last seven-and-a-half years towards, hopefully, a happy outcome, particularly around the Sutton tram.

• Question by: Richard Tracey
• Meeting date: 20 January 2016

Richard Tracey AM: Mr Mayor, you know very well that my colleague Steve O’Connell [AM] and I are constantly supportive of extending the Tramlink and indeed Val Shawcross and I were present at Wimbledon to see the improvements that were recently inaugurated. You have mentioned the question of finding the money for extending the tram. Surely, when Sadiq Khan MP, the Labour aspirant to be Mayor, talks about freezing or reducing fares, it is hardly a practical step for getting the money to do this when TfL are worried about their own future.

• Question by: Navin Shah
• Meeting date: 20 January 2016

Navin Shah AM: Mr Mayor, I have a specific question about my constituency and clean buses but, before I ask that, can you tell us what your plans are for rolling out clean buses in outer London, very briefly?

• Question by: Andrew Dismore
• Meeting date: 20 January 2016

Andrew Dismore AM: Can you tell me how many children were in homeless families at Christmas last year?

• Question by: Richard Tracey
• Meeting date: 20 January 2016

Richard Tracey AM: Mr Mayor, can I bring up with you once again the subject of Putney High Street. You will have read the stories that within a few days of the beginning of this year Putney High Street’s pollution level had exceeded the legal limit. Many councillors and local people there are asking that TfL should make a specific move to introduce all hybrid or indeed electric buses on the services that run along the High Street and also to look at the possibility of moving the bus depot, which is right by the side of the High Street...

• Question by: Murad Qureshi
• Meeting date: 20 January 2016

Murad Qureshi AM: Mr Mayor, can I just move this discussion to the impact on schoolchildren. Your favourite think-tank, Policy Exchange, released a report just before Christmas 2015, Up in the Air, which stated that 328,000 children are attending schools in London where the NO 2 concentration exceeded the legal and health limits. That is nearly 25% of all pupils in London. Can you tell me what specifically you have done to limit the exposure of London’s children to toxic air in your time?

• Question by: Steve O'Connell
• Meeting date: 20 January 2016

Steve O’Connell AM: On the same subject but stripping schools out of it for the moment, there are proposals in Croydon as part of the consultation on the Croydon plan to downgrade many acres of Metropolitan Open Land in Shirley. There is a very strong campaign around that and that is not to build schools but to build homes and we all agree that homes are needed, but that there are sufficient brownfield spaces. You said earlier that you have refused many such applications and I would not expect you to prejudge any particular application, but would you not agree...
