Darren Johnson (AM): A question to the Mayor. I share this ambition with you to get our buses as clean as possible in terms of engines. Was there a need to design a whole new hop on hop off bus just to get a much cleaner hybrid engine?

Valerie Shawcross (AM): Mr Mayor, the last time you and I discussed the new Routemaster I asked you about operational costs. I would have thought that question is even more urgent now. You are busily destaffing the Tube service. You are taking people out of ticket offices. 800 staff to come off the Underground service. The Routemaster. You have been quite clear that the back door, this additional hop on hop off door, could not be operated without the presence of an additional staff member. Do you have any more information to give us then about how much more it...

Chair, before the clock starts running, maybe the Mayor could answer what we actually asked for in the oral update? I am very grateful for the additional information but he was specifically asked to update on the report on the internal police investigation of the demonstrations in London on Thursday, 9 December 2010,. I just wondered whether he was going to update his report on that aspect?

Good morning, Mayor Boris. Ian Wright. He is a fantastic sportsman, he has done a lot for football and representation of this country. I would like to know on what grounds are the principal reasons for the mentoring of racial groups? Does this not disadvantage and discriminate --

Can I quickly come back to air quality? Would you accept, in your Strategy, that you have made a major u-turn - one of the first regressive steps you took - on air quality, which was to get rid of the six month --

On the Air Quality Strategy that you have launched, will you have to rewrite it if the European Commission does not grant the time extension for meeting particulate matter (PM10) pollution limits?

• Meeting date: 15 December 2010

Mr Mayor, thank you for updating us on the formal investigation report. As you will know, this is a matter of great concern to my constituents who regularly use the Northern line. There were six specific points raised in this report which do seem, to me, to be quite serious. They are quite technical and I will not waste Members' time by running through them. Can I have some assurance that work is being done to deal with these matters? We are not going to wait for the Office of Rail Regulation or the Rail Accident Investigation Branch report before...

• Question by: Steve O'Connell
• Meeting date: 15 December 2010

Mr Mayor, to continue the debate around the problem of dogs in London. First of all I declare an interest. I am the proud owner of five wonderful dogs. I will get on to why I cannot walk them all at the same time in a minute. Dee Doocey (Chair): Your question? Steve O'Connell (AM): Can I ask you, Mr Mayor, to urge the boroughs of London to adopt the dog control orders which have been adopted by Croydon and Westminster? These orders give an empowerment for council uniformed officers to insist that any dog not on a lead should...

Unlike the previous Member I do not own any dogs but a lot of people in Havering, which I represent, are dog owners and they are very pleased to enjoy the company of their pets. They have some concerns that the approach that is taken is measured. Clearly something needs to be done because we have seen an 80% increase in dog attacks in recent years. Can we make sure that measures target irresponsible owners, rather than targeting across a blanket, because we do not want to punish people unfairly.

• Question by: Mike Tuffrey
• Meeting date: 15 December 2010

Can I add that James is absolutely right about the logical disconnect and ask you to agree that the answer is, instead of encouraging clean engines into the zone and thus compromising the congestion point, you should be discouraging dirty engines from going into the zone? Will you commit to put a date on when you will conclude your discussions about the clean air zone that I have been pushing, which is in your Air Strategy? When will you give us a date to do that?
