Thank you, Chair. I would like to take a step back as we look towards legacy. We are all aware in this Chamber that the host boroughs of east London are some of the poorest locations in the capital. 70,000 unemployed adults are in the seven east London boroughs that neighbour the Olympic site. I am looking at the foundations of a legacy. How is it possible to truly call this a legacy when, at this moment in time, of the 5,381 employed people on the site, only 20% are from the five hosting boroughs and 48% are non-British? This...

Could you tell me what role the OPLC will have in consulting the populated parts of the proposed MDC?

Roger Evans (AM): Can I welcome Mr Hendy's comments about the changing approach to disability access to buses. Certainly, back in that period 2001 to 2005, I was pointing out that wheelchair access was not, necessarily, the same thing as access for people with disabilities, and the removal of seats was far more harmful to people who needed a seat. Will that process now be changed for other public transport vehicles such as trains? We have seen the removal of seats in recent years and it is a big problem to the increasingly elderly population?

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 --

• Question by: Darren Johnson
• Meeting date: 15 December 2010

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?

• Question by: Brian Coleman
• 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...
