That remains in the current Plan that is going into the examination this summer?

Just coming back to your lobbying on the Climate Change Bill, can I be right in assuming that one of the elements you will be lobbying for will be the annual turning the clocks back in the winter and putting the clocks forward, given that there are some energy advantages in doing that?

I want to pursue the same point, and there is a question, 572, which I will ask now, about government action, because the situation is even worse than actually Darren [Johnson] says. The 60% reduction by 2025 excludes aviation, and as soon as you factor that in, the required reduction is a lot higher. Could you tell us, in answer to the question that comes in a moment, what action specifically you have secured or expect to secure from government, since we are all agreed that is the crucial thing that needs to happen? On aviation.

But you do not own the roads around Heathrow either, and the access points, because they are part of BAA (British Airports Authority). The only thing you own is probably the traffic lights which stop you turning left.

Mr Mayor, thank you for the peroration, but can we get back to the Low Emission Zone and its exclusion of Heathrow.

I would imagine that part of your Climate Change Action Plan will need to look at the role played by the airports around London. I wonder whether you are going to join some of us in West London in campaigning vociferously against a third runway at Heathrow Airport?

Do you detect a slight change of tone in the Government's view? They seemed very pro the idea of going forward. Do you now detect a slight change because of the new concerns about climate change?

That has got to happen.

• Meeting date: 21 March 2007

I do not necessarily buy that argument that just because something requires government action it cannot go in the London Plan. There are hundreds of things in the London Plan that require government action; the funding of Crossrail, all sorts of things. I do not buy that argument. I really think there is a problem with this mismatch between the ambitious targets in the Climate Change Action Plan and the unambitious targets in the London Plan. I think it sends out a confused message. I would urge you, even if the EIP (examination in public) process does not recommend a...

What do you intend to do as part of that campaign? I have already assembled a group of 12 signatories to a letter to the Prime Minister which I have already been told as been passed on to Douglas Alexander, surprise surprise. What can we all do together to ensure that the message is heard loud and clear that Heathrow cannot do with a third runway if we are going to bear down on climate problems? Also, there is the issue of noise pollution for a lot of residents in West London, which is only going to be massively aggravated.
