Mr Mayor, do you agree that free school meals should be given to all the children at your great competitor school of Harrow? Do you think they should all get free school meals?

Last time, Boris, you could not remember when you had last travelled on the Northern line, so let us try another one. When was the last time you topped up an Oyster card at a Tube station ticket machine?

Mr Mayor, my follow-up question is about the increase in the gender pay gap in London and I just wanted to know whether you were aware of the evidence that shows women earn an average of 15% less than men? So, for instance, for every £1 a man earns, a woman takes home 85p. Are you aware of this?

Mr Mayor, I wonder whether you saw the reported comments of Tom Copley [AM], who unfortunately seems to have left the Chamber for a moment? He said that there should be apologies from the Labour Party because the last Labour Government failed to build enough affordable homes in London and actually built fewer homes in 13 years than Margaret Thatcher’s Government did in a single year. How about that?

Would you agree with me that clearly you and the GLA have a pivotal role in delivering the much-needed affordable housing in London, but would you also agree with me that the boroughs themselves must take a leading role in that delivery?

Mr Mayor, you may recall - and I am sure you do - that during your first term of office you had an initiative called Help a London Park in which we invited people from around London to vote for their favourite park. The winners had trees and other investment made in their park. That was a fantastic scheme because it really involved local people and got them interested. We had schoolchildren coming here. We had people logging on. We had a huge amount of interest. Also, it was a fantastic scheme because the decision was made by local people...

Mr Mayor, you talk about hoping to make great progress with your street trees campaign. Can I put a bid in for some of those trees for the Balham High Road, which is a TfL road? For a long time, my residents there have been seeking to create a Balham Boulevard with a wonderful line of trees down the middle of the road.

Can I add the thanks of my boroughs in Havering and Redbridge for the statement that you have just made? Just to note that when we had TfL at the recent Transport Committee, they were telling us that boroughs were receiving other sums of money which were hypothecated to particular pieces of work from TfL. Their argument was that maybe boroughs did not need the LIP funding because they were giving money to them.

Mr Mayor. For the sake of completeness, I have asked you this before. Will you continue to confirm that you will allow the boroughs that flexibility in how they can deliver their funding?

• Meeting date: 23 October 2013

Mr Mayor, none of us wants to see deaths and injuries on the road and I have been a fan of Cycle Superhighways for many years and so I want to see them safe. I am glad to hear you say as you did in your opening remarks that you want to make them as safe as you possibly can, but there are some Cycle Superhighways that are coming on stream at the moment that are not as safe as they can be. I would like to draw your attention to one. You might not know the detail, but I...
