We welcome the gang initiative, albeit it has taken you a number of years to bring it together. In terms of the facts and figures, I think you are right that they cannot be ignored, unless the Mayor's office is misleading in the figures it is providing me or the Metropolitan Police Service is providing me. Let us stick to the facts and figures. Do you agree with me that the facts and figures you provided me are that knife crime is up? Yes or no?

Four years ago, you said in order to tackle gang crime and serious youth violence you would open 100 boot camps which would make a fantastic difference. You said this again at the Conservative Party conference last October. How many boot camps have you opened?

Mr Mayor, have you decided whether or not to make a toll on the Silvertown Tunnel, to put a toll on it?

Can you assure me, Mr Mayor, on the detail of the design of the Silvertown crossing that the environmental considerations are taken into consideration, especially with regard to the air quality of people in the Silvertown area?

Mr Mayor, thank you for the information relating to your transport arrangements during the games, but I wonder whether you would consider a variation. In my position as Chair of the London Hydrogen Partnership, we do have a scheme funded jointly by the European Commission to have five hydrogen fuel cell taxis which would be available for the Games, emitting nothing but water, completely emissions free, and they will be used to ferry various people around during the Games. One of them I think is going to be made available for your use, if you feel the need.

Yes. Related to this, Mr Mayor, are you aware that for at least four whole days substantial parts of South West London are going to be completely marooned because of the cycle road races which are taking place? It is going to be impossible to cross the Thames anywhere between Kingston and Walton on those days. I wonder whether that has ever been drawn to your attention before. These are events which take place on public roads over a great swathe of London. The bicycles go past in a flash and yet the roads are going to be closed from...

Mr Mayor, Mr Adrian Vincent is the Managing Director of Frank Rivett and Sons, who are a long-standing family-owned funeral directors based in East London. He points out to me that as undertakers they cannot work from home, they have little choice in when to work, and they are concerned about the impact the Olympic Route Network (ORN) is going to have on funeral corteges during the period of the Olympics, while that ORN is in place. I accept that the ORN is not always going to be in place. Could I ask you to make inquiries about whether or...

Thank you, Chair. I will stay with the question. In collating information, Mr Mayor, knife crime and serious youth crime violence does not seem to appear on this website. Is that because according to the latest Metropolitan Police Service figures and the information provided by your office to me, last year, there were 5,503 young victims of knife crime? This is an actual increase of 23% since you took office. Serious youth violence - and I stress the word serious here - has risen every year since you have been elected. You said in November last year, 'Serious youth violence...

• Meeting date: 22 February 2012

Certainly not, Chair. It is entirely relevant to the discussion. Mr Mayor, would you be concerned that a website claimed that fares could be cut when they could not?

Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you for making that last very clear legalistic point for all of us here in the audience. Mr Mayor, would you be shocked, horrified or interested to know that, four years ago, there was a full-time employee in this building using GLA resources to run the Back Ken website. When it was identified, it was, 'I am only doing it in my spare time'.
