Over the last two and a half years, have you sat down with union leaders such as Gerry Doherty [General Secretary, Transport Salaried Staffs' Association] or had your promised beer with Bob Crow [General Secretary, National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT)] in order to fulfil the no strike deal that you promised to Londoners?

Although we had various Conservative newspapers parading hate figures and suggesting this is outrageous and dreadful behaviour, do you accept that the dispute last week was predominantly by relatively lowly paid workers who work predominantly in ticket offices and in support roles? They are not the alleged union fat cats. They are ordinary Londoners, many of whom I am sure voted for you, who want to have consideration in any changes to their working practices.

Do you accept that the last Tube strike could have been avoided had you stuck by your original election promise not to close ticket offices?

I know there are several areas in London where this point has been raised already. However, are we going to have an Olympic lane and a bus lane because then there will not be any other road space left? It is not the first time that has been asked. I do think we need to go back and address this. Who is going to be allowed to use the Olympic lanes? Will all the vehicles in it be disability compliant? How are you going to rationalise this across London? Kit has, obviously, highlighted a vital route into London but there...

I wanted to ask specifically about the situation on the Marylebone Road which is causing consternation in that northern part of Westminster. I should declare that I live two blocks away from the Marylebone Road. As you will know, because you cycle it very often, the Marylebone Road is two lanes of normal traffic and one bus lane. The plans under the Olympic Route Network are to put a lane outside the bus lane, therefore reducing the lane for normal traffic down to one lane. That will cause alarm, not least because obviously that will cause massive traffic jams at...

Mr Mayor, have you done any kind of cost benefit analysis of promoting London abroad, rather than just relying on the fact that it is the most famous city on earth? I wonder what promotion it really needs.

I was going to ask you, Mr Mayor, I just wondered in passing how many other suggestions, apart from that brief one from Caroline [Pidgeon] have you had from the Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats and the Greens on cost savings for TfL?

Mr Mayor, last night, this subject was debated at length at Barnet Council. Having listened to the sensible arguments made, not least in my own speech, Liberal Democrat members of Barnet Council voted with the Conservative Members and against a Labour motion. Would you not say that is a sign that there are Liberal Democrats in London who understand this issue and understand the points that you make?

Mr Mayor, when considering the allocation of funds for Decent Homes to boroughs, can you at least seek some assurance that those boroughs are going to spend that money in the most effective way possible, and treat with some suspicion and scepticism the very many Private Finance Initiative (PFI) schemes in London that have resulted in very poor value for money? I refer, in particular, to the PFI contracts let by the previous Liberal Democrat administration in Islington, which is £110 million over budget and subject to legal proceedings as we speak.

Mr Mayor, would you think it would have been helpful if the Chairman of the MPA at the time that these incidents allegedly happened, Mr Duvall, was to have had made an intervention and to tell the MPA or, indeed, tell you in a private meeting - what he was briefed at the time that these events happened and what actions he took? Do you not think that would be helpful?
