I might want to pursue that somewhere else. You have talked about the boroughs matching funding. Are you thinking of matching with existing funding streams or are you hoping and expecting that boroughs will find additional funds to match what you are making available?

Is it going to be capital funded or revenue funded, or could it be either?

My point again, as you will well understand, is that many borough councils, probably all borough councils, are suffering budget restrictions year on year. Finding growth money is never easy. What I am trying to get to is whether you would supplement existing resources so that they are better used? I am certainly not suggesting you should substitute for something a borough is funding, but to supplement.

In that case thank you very much for sparing us nothing of substance! This sounds very welcome and I am sure it will be welcomed, but you have been talking about it on quite a number of occasions since April, and again as recently as last Sunday on The Politics Show you were referring to it. I speak from one borough but I am sure I could speak for all 32 who are very keen and interested to know about this apparent £20 million of funding that is on offer. Is there nothing at all of substance that you can...

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?

• Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
• Meeting date: 20 June 2007

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!
