Bearing in mind the subject that Darren Johnson has raised, have you had a chance to review your decision not to oppose the increased flights at City Airport?

I just want to take us back to the air quality aspects of this question. A quick observation: one of the other fruits of the coalition is an agreement to switch taxation from per passenger to per plane, which should have a modest effect on encouraging full planes and reducing the total numbers. I have two quick points on air quality. I have a question later on the central London area and we will come back to that. This is just about Heathrow. There are health aspects of these nitrogen dioxide exceedances in Heathrow. When are you going to publish...

): It is obviously good news that the third runway is not now going to get the go-ahead, but the figures show that even with the existing arrangements, without the third runway, capacity is predicted to rise to 80 million passengers per annum from 63 million passengers per annum. That is going to put more restrain on air pollution, as your Air Quality Strategy makes clear. Are you opposing any increase in capacity at Heathrow?

Mr Mayor, do you share my inability to understand the way the Labour Group particularly criticise you for your alleged unwillingness to look at big, exciting and novel projects, particularly in the transport field, and then almost within the same breath, criticise you for looking at big, innovative, exciting potential projects in the transport field? I am tempted to use the word 'double-think' if I were not concerned about the sinister overtones of that word. No, I am going to use the word 'double-think'. Are you shocked by the double-think of the Labour group?

Chair, can I take a different tack to the Mayor. As we have all seen, there has been a feasibility review produced by the steering group and it really poses more questions than it answers. Particularly on business feasibility, the airlines have recently said they are not going to go there. Studies by your own GLA Economics have suggested the Londoners who use the airports the most in Central London, are not terribly keen to go over to that end of town to get on a plane. Why are they putting up this potential proposal of a £5 million-funded investigation...

I want to turn to some of the other crime commitments you made during the campaign in your manifesto and I am going to quote from your manifesto. This was something you said time and time again and you made to be a very symbolic part of your election campaign. You said, 'I will chair the Metropolitan Police Authority'

Mr Mayor, I had also understood that a manifesto was for a full Mayoralty and not for less than two years.

• Question by: Jenny Jones
• Meeting date: 17 March 2010

You made an election commitment to finish the London Cycle Network Plus and in 2008/09, which was the last year of Ken's [Livingstone] administration, £33 million was spent. Last year £12 million was spent and this year we have absolutely no idea what is going to be spent on the London Cycle Network. Are you going to ensure the budget to complete it as you promised?

• Question by: Valerie Shawcross

I would like to just ask you a few more questions, Mr Mayor, about your transport manifesto of getting Londoners moving, which I read daily.

• Question by: Steve O'Connell
• Meeting date: 17 March 2010

First, before I pursue this subject with the Mayor, I would like to welcome today learned students from Sutton High and my good friend and colleague from the Croydon Guardian, Mike Didymus, who I like to work very closely with, of course. This is a really helpful question from John [Biggs], two years into the Mayoralty and I think it is worth exploring some of the manifesto pledges of two years ago that brought you into this Office with a thumping majority. The concern to our people in Sutton and Croydon was around their safety and you had a very...
