You have covered the ground, to some extent, on this one.

I cannot help but notice Val Shawcross' question which follows this, on CCTV footage. Are you happy that people are working integratedly across the transport system, to provide this safe system? I get reports also from my constituents that they are fearful of using the night buses because of the crime and the sheer atmosphere, and I get that from youngsters.

I do not suggest you name that person, because you might get a writ as a result.

Can I ask you, then, to specify exactly the nature of your offer, both in capital and revenue terms?

In December 2003, shortly before the 2004 mayoral elections, you made a promise to fund the refurbishment of Dollis Hill House, which is a Grade II listed building in your old parliamentary constituency. That promise has never been fulfilled over the last three years. What confidence can we have that the promise you have made now is going to be fulfilled?

What we did do was to agree a consultation - and you are very clear on consultation, and the results of consultation, as we know - on the future uses and redevelopment of the house, including all options, including redevelopment.

Can I correct your misinformation as well? The Executive did not decide to demolish the building. You are obviously reading the local paper

This is a test done by London cab drivers, who had originally objected, but nevertheless, it is done by the independent laboratory in Southampton, and verified by them. Do you think at least, given the controversy over the results, you should suspend the programme so that you can make certain that you are fitting equipment that works, and that is not making pollution worse in London?

• Question by: Roger Evans

That is good. The results are a matter of concern. We held a white cloth over the exhaust of one of the modified cabs, and that [holding up blackened cloth] is the result that we got, which I can tell you is considerably worse than an unmodified vehicle, although, to be fair, an unmodified vehicle is not absolutely clean either. Clearly it is not fair to inflict that level of particulates on London. Will you take half a dozen cabs at random, which have been fitted, from London, and have a test done, which both your guys and the Energy...
