As I understand it, Crossrail 1 tunnelling will be completed by 2015.

I think there is a team of about 3,500 real experts in tunnelling that could easily be sent around the world or they could decide to go around the world because there are so many projects. There is a metro being built in Copenhagen at the moment and a whole lot of things, as you know, going on in the Far East, China and so on and indeed in the Middle East. Is there yet any specific finalised plan for a route to Crossrail 2? How near are we to getting it?

What about any further into boroughs? I represent Merton as well. Is there any likelihood that the Barclays Cycle Hire Scheme will go to outer London boroughs, or is it simply to be the mini‑Holland Scheme which you have announced?

Can I ask you just to talk a little about further expansion, because you come into North Wandsworth, into Battersea and into Putney; Tooting would be very keen to have the bikes if you are prepared to go into the side part of Wandsworth. What about that?

do you expect the use of body-worn cameras by patrol officers will actually reduce the number of incidents of force used by those officers and, indeed, the numbers of incidents where force or violence is used against them?

I am very pleased to hear that positive response from you. Last year my colleague Mr James Cleverly asked you about this and you stated that the Metropolitan Police Service was working with current suppliers to capitalise on innovation and emerging technology to produce this sort of equipment. Can you give us an update on how that has gone since last year?

Do you not think that addressing the level of low wages in London can best be dealt with not by tinkering with wage levels, but by looking at the overall taxation policy, for example, raising the threshold at which National Insurance (NI) is paid?

Will you look at bringing in a three-day cap on Oyster to help part-time workers who are really hard-pressed?

The Government has recently announced a whole range of ticketing proposals including part-time season tickets and the Government has said, “For a number of commuters using the railway 9.00am to 5.00pm, Monday to Friday, is no longer the reality. ” We know that when you talk to people across London. “We believe the railway should provide a better offer for commuters travelling fewer than five days a week.” Do you agree with the Government on this?

OK, but this feels a very long way off, what you are talking about, yet you have been receptive to this idea I have put to you before. There are around 900,000 people working part-time in and around London and, if you look at London and the south east, over 2 million people are now working part-time. It is the highest number since records began on this. In your own jobs plan, you want to increase the number of part-time workers. The existing Travelcards really only help if you work five days a week. Would you accept that really, if...
