For whatever reasons. What I would expect, and I think you would expect, is that demand will far exceed supply. Both of us would hope that. My concern is, as I say, that this has been talked about and talked up for several months now. I think in May you said you had made an offer; demonstrably there is not an offer to be made yet. Can you give us any indicative timetable about when this will be available? The reason I ask particularly is because, as you will understand, all boroughs will be starting to draw up next year's...

I really resent these issues that make me gang up with One London, but this is one that really does offend me! I used to follow England football abroad. -- Mayor (Ken Livingstone): You were not one of those hooligans that disfigured the game? Jenny Jones (AM): No., but I have seen how police officers do push people around, and have seen film of incidents in football stadia abroad. Can you give a guarantee that these foreign officers, if they come over, will not be used for policing in London, day-to-day policing?

I am curious about this C40 energy efficient light. What is the timescale on that?

Yesterday I was with some residents in my constituency and we were at a campaign at just such a crossing. Mayor (Ken Livingstone): Was it at Theobolds Road? Jennette Arnold (AM): No, further up, that is not as bad as this one. This, I am told, has one of the most dangerous phases. This is the one off Holloway Road, just down from Drayton Park. Mayor (Ken Livingstone): No, I do not know that one. Jennette Arnold (AM): That is said by officers to be the most dangerous, but yet we do not seem to be able to get any...

One of the ways you are financing air conditioning would be of course to use some of this oil deal money you are doing with Venezuela. Can you confirm that Peter Hendy (Commissioner of Transport for London) has now just gone out to Venezuela to further negotiate on your oil deal?

I had a very helpful supplementary which is many, many years ago I visited Moscow where they have incredibly hot summers, and the way they manage overheating on their subway system is worth looking at. Will you be consulting with the Mayor of Moscow!

Moving back on to the issue of water on the tube. Given that this might enhance the tourist experience in London, are you concerned then that when they complete their tube journey, all refreshed, that their views of London might be affected by the latest London View Management Framework, and does that need to be looked at!

Can I just go back to the issue Geoff [Pope] raised about young Londoners' fare concessions. Jennette Arnold in discussions earlier on this morning with the students from her constituency was informed that many of these fare concessions do not apply to school holidays, and it seems unnecessary to just focus these concessions on school trips and not other trips that they may want to take to enjoy London. Mayor (Ken Livingstone): While this has gone on I have found the answer to Geoff Pope's question [question 1307/2007]: Increasing the discount from 30% to 50% on the tickets would reduce...

I am very supportive of the Mayor's robust defence of democracy and the democratic process as regards term limits. I voted against such a suggestion when the Bill was in the House of Commons. However, one other amendment that we should all be celebrating from yesterday was the amendment allowing this Assembly to decide upon the Mayoral Budget by a simple majority, a democratic majority, rather than the ridiculous two thirds majority that currently applies. The question is, as the Mayor is so supportive of the democratic process, will he, in his intention to spend Londoners' money fighting one particular...

I welcome the announcement you have made because it is something that I have been pushing for for a while, and that is for you to be mindful of the impact of rises on those communities that can least afford it. Can you just answer the question that I have had put to me, and it came from residents around the Archway Gyratory: having found a substantial amount like £38 million, why did you not think of investing it in sorting out this awful blot on the landscape in this area, that makes so many peoples' lives a misery? It...
