• Question by: Gareth Bacon MP
• Meeting date: 22 February 2012

My colleague Victoria Borwick is very keen to come to her question, which is the next one on the agenda, so I am going to pull my question, Chair. I am withdrawing my question.

• Question by: Roger Evans
• Meeting date: 22 February 2012

I have to say, Chair, to listen to some of the Members opposite, I get confused about the function of this organisation and I have been here for 12 years, so it is sometimes bizarre to listen to the things they come up with. Mr Mayor, when you next meet Peter Hendy, on your no-doubt growing agenda after this meeting will you ask him about the important issue of bus driving standards to ensure that he stays on top of the performance of bus drivers and how they drive their buses, particularly with reference to the availability of wheelchair ramps...

• Question by: James Cleverly
• Meeting date: 22 February 2012

Mr Mayor, when you next meet Peter Hendy - he being someone that has worked with the former Mayor, the former Mayor who claims on his website that the average Londoner will save £1,000 over the next four years with there being a roughly £3.5 million Londoners of fare-paying age - will you ask him what the implications would be of that 1,000 multiplied by £3.5 million, which if my maths is right is a £3.5 billion black hole in TfL's finances? As he has worked with the former Mayor, would you ask him whether that figure is based on...

• Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
• Meeting date: 22 February 2012

Jennette Arnold (Chair): I have a point of order. Jenny Jones (AM): Point of order, Chair. The Mayor seems confused about the function of this meeting. This is called Mayor's Question Time because we question the Mayor. It is not an opportunity for him to attack any and every Assembly Member. It is an opportunity for him to justify his record and he seems not to understand that

• Question by: Richard Tracey
• Meeting date: 22 February 2012

Mr Mayor, just for the record, when you do next meet Peter Hendy, will you ask him how many money-saving suggestions he and TfL and yourselves received from the Labour Assembly Members over the last four years?

• Question by: Andrew Boff
• Meeting date: 22 February 2012

Mr Mayor, what is clear is that cycling on the roads for which you are responsible has become considerably safer in your term of office. What action should the boroughs be taking to match that improved safety record on their roads?

• Question by: Jenny Jones
• Meeting date: 22 February 2012

Mr Mayor, you keep saying that cycling is becoming safer and I have written to you several times now to tell you, using TfL figures, that cycling is not becoming safer. It is becoming less safe since you became Mayor because cycle casualties --

• Question by: James Cleverly
• Meeting date: 22 February 2012

Mr Mayor, the questions so far have concentrated on physical infrastructure, trixi mirrors, junction layouts and that kind of stuff, but would you concede that a significant but often undervalued element of cycle safety is the herd immunity: the idea that, as increasing numbers of people cycle, the other road users become more used to cyclists, become aware of cyclists in their day-to-day driving habits and adapt their driving styles to accommodate cyclists? Actually, we need to balance. While cycle safety infrastructure is important, we also need to balance that with a consistent and compelling narrative that cycling in London...

• Question by: Richard Barnes
• Meeting date: 22 February 2012

Mr Mayor, will you join me in recognising that Darren makes a very strong moral point, but he does not make a very strong legal point because the appointment of the official hotels was put out to tender? It has to have done so under the laws that prevail in this land and Europe and it fell within the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) rules. That is that London's Living Wage is a non-legally enforceable living wage in London, although it may well be morally demanded. Although we recognise his moral point, he rather is getting his feathers...
