Absolutely. Of course when John Connell promoted an estuary airport all those years ago it was to reduce noise and pollution and to have a safer air corridor into London. I hope I get support from our colleagues opposite on this idea but I am not sure. Of course you will be well aware that there have been many planes circling round London this summer unable to land. We now think that may be due to something else other than air capacity but do put that aside for the moment. Back to the air capacity which you are well aware...

Will you welcome Labour's belated acceptance of your policy that there shall be no third runway at Heathrow?

Mr Mayor, your own approach and policy on this has rather been characterised as the island in the estuary - Boris Island I think it is regularly called by people. In the not too distant future the new Transport Secretary, Justine Greening, will be looking at all these ideas and your point about London needing more airport capacity. When you see her can I ask you to put to her that she should look seriously not only at the estuary idea but also at the other ideas coming up from Lord Foster about the Isle of Grain, from Mr John...

Mr Mayor, notwithstanding the moral obligation to do something about brothels or indeed the criminal activity that needs to be tackled, will you acknowledge that it is deeply unpleasant to live near a brothel and as somebody who lived on a street with a brothel I appreciate the profound gratitude of the residents when the police came and closed it down?

• Question by: Andrew Boff
• Meeting date: 16 November 2011

Have you, Mr Mayor, been acquainted with both the Association of Chief Police Officers' (ACPOs) and independent statistics relating to the occurrence of trafficking within brothels - using the broad term?

• Question by: Andrew Boff
• Meeting date: 16 November 2011

Mr Mayor, are the police saying that there is evidence of a rise of trafficking as a result of the Olympics? Are the police telling you that there is evidence of a risk in trafficking as a result of the Olympics?

Finally, Mr Mayor, I would, first of all, thank you for that response and, bearing in mind what you have said during that response, I really would ask you to look at Dr Mai's report from the London Metropolitan University. It is called In Whose Name?

One of the other success stories in terms of the project in Waltham Forest has not just been the work that the police has done but the complementary programme that has been run by the local authority itself in terms of working with gang members. You accept the importance of the complementary work in the borough?

• Question by: Darren Johnson
• Meeting date: 16 November 2011

Good. That is very welcome because Operation Connect, particularly in Waltham Forest, has done some really, really good work in terms of getting young people in gangs out of gangs and given them an exit strategy. That is extremely useful. I am just looking at the budget figures that you have got though. Currently it is funded by the Metropolitan Police Service with £2.7 million. That is for five boroughs. You are anticipating rolling it out to 14 boroughs, yet the budget is only going up to £2.9 million. Is that going to be enough?

• Question by: Jenny Jones
• Meeting date: 16 November 2011

That is not the boroughs. This is a straight question. I really want to know if there is - just as there is a Government transition fund for families - a Government transition fund for boroughs because boroughs are going to lack the infrastructure and they need help as well? It is a straight question.
