Mr Mayor, would you agree with me that one thing that did work well on 8 August 2011 in Croydon was the close liaison cooperation between the local police and the local fire brigade down there? The borough fire commander in Croydon and his staff worked very closely with the police. A model for the rest of London. Would you also remember, when the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall visited Croydon following the riots they were very impressed by the close working of the emergency services. That element is vital to dealing with matters such as the...

Mr Mayor, you said that you did not hear any sensible opposition to your policies so let me give you one! Isn't it the case that there is absolutely no physical shortage of capacity among London's airports at present? Isn't it the case that there is only a theoretical shortage of capacity in 20 or 30 years' time if you simply adopt a predict and provide approach where anybody who flies can? Isn't it the case that we should be making much better use of existing capacity before you start building new? Isn't it the case that, because of the...

When you also meet the Secretary of State ,in the short term will you draw her attention to the review that the Government is going to be conducting next year into night flights from Heathrow and support a total ban on night flights for the foreseeable future?

Would you make a commitment that your key advisers on aviation will seek to investigate all the sensible solutions to the chronic lack of policy, just as you have highlighted - whether that is a multi one way hub or a systems approach so that we can not only look at the long term solutions but possibly some of the medium term solutions too?

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?

• Question by: Richard Tracey
• Meeting date: 16 November 2011

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?
