Mr Mayor, according to Environment Agency figures, there are something like 14,000 homes with no flood cover in London. Are you prepared to take up the Prime Minister’s offer of money being no problem for these homes to be protected?

Do you not find it odd, Mr Mayor, that leading members of the Government who devised the terms of reference for the Davies Commission - Nick Clegg [Deputy Prime Minister], Vince Cable [Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills] and Ed Davey [Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change] - failed to have removed from the options, which the Davies Commission set up, the possible expansion of Heathrow? Do you not find that odd?

Unsurprisingly I speak to support Roger’s comments in that I would support, very much, removal of the existing limits around outer London. I am not sure - and remain to be persuaded - of the benefits to those areas in outer London, but in view of the fact that you are not able to remove that outer London surrounding barrier that you consider reviewing the boundaries because there are certain areas where it really does not make a great deal of sense.

I am a big fan of the ULEZ because it actually targets the area of London where the problem is, and will help to reduce the pollution around those areas which are worse affected.

Richard Tracey AM: Yes, just one slightly peripheral question. I notice that Dennis Hone has produced a press release or he is quoted in a press release about various facilities in the Park and the potential great success of some of them, particularly including the Velodrome. Some of the features of the Park are, of course, in the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority. If it is all going to be such a great success, could you move some persuasion to Lee Valley to stop charging the rest of the boroughs of London and taking a subsidy and perhaps they could...

Mr Mayor, you are forecasting an underspend this year both on the National Affordable Housing Programme and the Affordable Homes Programme of more than £120 million, which is a 42% underspend. Is this incompetence or is there something else going on here?

I was just going to ask the Mayor if he could, since Richard Tracey raised it, give us that list of gyratory systems that are going to be affected. You fired out a couple - Aldgate and Swiss Cottage - and then did not finish the list.

Mr Mayor, if you are feeling too sensitive, you have to be called a hypocrite by Jenny Jones first of all. She calls me a hypocrite because I sit on a body that I do not agree with. This is Jenny Jones who recently took up her seat in the House of Lords.

Mr Mayor, I sit here in absolute awe of the number of times you can spend that paltry £25 million that Barclays gave you. Where does it say that Barclays is paying for the third phase? As far as I can see, you have spent that money already. In fact, the whole scheme has cost well over £100 million. Barclays has given you £25 million or £23 million or whatever. You should be calling it the Taxpayers’ Cycle Hire Scheme, not the Barclays Cycle Hire Scheme. Where does it say in the contract that the third phase will be paid...

Mr Mayor, are you aware that the people of Wandsworth - unlike, clearly, the people of Lambeth whom Valerie Shawcross represents – and, I imagine, Hammersmith and Fulham are very grateful to you for extending the Cycle Hire Scheme into the west of London. In fact, there has been a very good take‑up of the bike hire, particularly during the recent strike on the Tube when all the bikes were cleared from their docking stations and had to be replenished. It is actually a very good move, despite this mealy-mouthed criticism you are hearing from the other side.
