I think I remember last year, Mayor Boris, that I brought this up about dangerous dogs during the questions about the riots in Notting Hill where these horrendous animals were used as weapons - almost parallel now with knife crime - and yet somehow I was laughed out of the room. So, in that case, what statement can you make that you will actually - brilliant question from Victoria [Borwick] - follow this through and act upon these horrendous animals?

Mr Mayor, you will be aware that there is quite a bit of other expertise in this matter apart from the Metropolitan Police Service. The likes of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) and Battersea Dogs Home and, indeed - one of my boroughs - Wandsworth, where it has the Parks Police and several great experts. Are you talking to all them to make sure that we get the best measures and the lowest costs in dealing with all this?

I am glad, Mr Mayor, that you have indicated that this is by far a very complex issue and therefore not simply a matter of vaccination. Would you not agree therefore that there is a need for promoting a greater level of awareness and education on this very complex matter otherwise there is a danger that a section of our diverse community and their children may be stereotyped as carriers of TB? This is a very, very serious danger.

Good morning, Mayor Boris. I am quite happy that the Chair of the [Assembly's] Health Committee, James [Cleverly], brought this forward as I have been banging on about the TB problem since I have been here. I realise that measles is also on the agenda. In my own borough of Barking and Dagenham - in fact in my own ward of Goresbrook - when I have asked the council what it was going to do about the outbreak in Cambell School it simply said, 'Well we're dealing with it'. When I put motions and questions asking to have full immunisation...

Can I express my deep concern about the savings being proposed on the library service? I know that one of the public services that lots of local authorities get a lot of kudos and credit for is maintaining the library services that we have across the whole of London so I am actually deeply and privately very concerned about the numbers of staff that have been reduced in the library and I wanted to know what your views are given that you are a great book lover?

It is right, as you say, that this organisation, just as Londoners have to tighten their belts, should also be tightening its belt. Would you agree, however, that this is only the first notch of the belt that you are tightening given that the total number of real reductions that you are making is only 39 people, ie that people who are in post are only being reduced by 39 and that there is still a long way to go? Is it not right that the best way to ensure that this organisation is slim and is strategic is for...

Mr Mayor, can I congratulate you on finding at least something to congratulate the previous Mayor on over these last eight years. I have scratched my head many a time to find it and there you are with it all together. Mr Mayor, would you join me in reminding all Members around this table that Organising for Delivery is now going through a proper and due process and we are in part of the consultation period for that Organising for Delivery, that all Members have the opportunity and indeed the right to contribute to that consultation and it is at...

I think we have already established today that you have designed with the cycle hire scheme a scheme that does not work. Do you think that this structure at City Hall --

Mr Mayor, certainly from this side we welcome your commitment to addressing the severe problems of overcrowding in London and it is about time we had a Mayor who did address those particular issues. Your firm commitment to the 30,000 new socially rented properties is going to make a real difference to Londoners in those parts of London where overcrowding is a particular problem. I must however take issue with one particular part of --
