Very quickly, I think Darren has asked the question very effectively. I have a little quote for you from a letter from the then Chief Executive to the Unison Branch Secretary. It says that the Mayor has indicated that he does not support Unison's proposal to pay an inflationary pay award to any staff. Would you accept that a 50% pay increase is an inflationary pay award?

I hope you will agree with me that it is very important that it is the duty of this Assembly to ensure that the Mayoralty cannot be compromised by any accusations of bias or undue influence. Bearing in mind when these events took place, can I ask for the Mayor to look into the meetings that the previous Mayor had with News International? In addition to the one that has been documented with James Murdoch [Chairman and CEO of News Corporation Europe and Asia]?

Mr Mayor, do you share my concern that the senior officer looking at this review, or reviewing the case, spent just eight hours reviewing 11,000 pages of potential evidence, which included the shocking details of hacking? Do you share my astonishment that the MPS are now blaming the News of the World for not co-operating with their inquiry, when wrongdoers seldom hold their hands up and say, 'It was me, guv, let me show you how I did it'? Do you agree that if the evidence had been properly sifted through originally, the MPS could have obtained warrants to search...

Thank you, Madam Chair. People questioned my motives in terms of my questioning and the approach that I have taken this morning, and my own actions at the time. I have been on record, and I am public about, calling for a fully independent public inquiry into the actions of the police at the time in terms of what I was told and when I was told. There are notes that may exist. They are police notes. I am quite clear and have talked to the people present in the room when I was briefed. There were also notes circulated...

Perhaps, Mr Mayor, to bring people to justice, and if you had done that perhaps you would have done this a little sooner.

• Question by: James Cleverly
• Meeting date: 13 July 2011

There seems to be a lot of confusion about who was responsible for asking who, what and when, so I would just like to double-check in my own mind the chronology of this exactly. When this story broke and arrests were being made, Mr Mayor, who was the incumbent of the position of Mayor of London?

• Question by: Richard Barnes
• Meeting date: 13 July 2011

Mr Mayor, much has been made this morning by Mr Duvall and Ms McCartney as to when you were first told that your phone had been hacked and what your reaction was. Could you refresh my memory: was that in 2006?

When is he ever anything else?

• Question by: Len Duvall OBE
• Meeting date: 13 July 2011

I have a series of questions, Chair. Was it extraordinary or unwise to make those comments that you did make back in September 2010?

• Question by: Brian Coleman
• Meeting date: 13 July 2011

Mr Mayor, can you accept that those of us who have been the victims of the News of the World feel extremely disappointed with the MPS response on this whole issue? Mr Mayor, as someone who sat through a recording of yesterday's Select Committee's hearing and was frankly horrified by a number of the performances, will you accept that with the exception of, I have to say, an outstandingly excellent performance from Sue Akers - a Barnet girl - frankly the rest of them you would not buy a used car from? Will you accept that Mr John Yates has...
