So if they do that, and you lose money, what will you do about that?

I think you are quite right in underling the regenerative effects the trams can have and that was definitely the case in the Croydon Tram as regards to New Addington in terms of the opportunities for employment that that has created because of improved transport links. Is it possible for TfL to consider providing a replacement tram for the tram that has been taken out of the service to New Addington so as to take us back to that level of regeneration? Croydon Tram was mentioned, Chair.

Thank you, Mayor. While the Conservatives on the Assembly were getting very excited and hyperventilating about your trip to Cuba, the Conservatives now involved in the administration of Camden Council were busily undermining the Cross River Tram.

Do you not feel it is important to have some idea about whether this is going to cost money or make money? Transport for London's own admission was that the western extension was going to break even. The impact of what you announced the other day is going to be important.

In that case I am going to make a positive suggestion. Have you thought about getting them into the same room and finding out what the problem is and urging them to change their minds?

My view is this is an incoherent and inexperienced council. Do you think that the Assembly Members in this Chamber who I know support this kind of infrastructure project would be well advised to get alongside their junior colleagues in Camden and give them some good advice about how to best serve their community?

This consultation has options in it, and I think it is only right to come up with a final response once one has understood all the implications of the different routes proposed. Why is that you always take the case of, `Well we will decide and then consult'? Surely it is better to talk about principals, get feedback and then decide the detail, and that is really what Camden is doing is it not?

I am asking his view. He is entitled to his view.
