We did check again, and they came back and said 'Yes, Bliss Events limited.'

Can we just be clear; we are aware that there is a big question mark here. We actually rang the people who put the Mayoral Action Forms together and checked. It was put down as Bliss Events Limited. You are saying that it is not Bliss Events Limited?

Well will you please provide that to the Assembly?

A surprisingly high number of contraventions. You suggested that one way of dealing with this was to get cyclists to register. Would that not be a terribly bureaucratic process and a rather costly process, and would that money that would go into registration not be better spent on increasing policing of such contraventions, because, as you have said publicly, some of these contraventions are potentially very dangerous to pedestrians and other road users?

I am grateful that the weakness of the consultation process is recognised to the extent that the change in service was disguised under a consultation under the Centrale tram stop nomenclature. However, is there not a recognition there, from the Mayor, that there is very significant crowding now, with the reduction of the volume of trams sent into New Addington during the evening rush hour, and could there be some thought about some of the New Addington trams going around the loop at Croydon, so as to restore some of the tram capacity that has been taken away from the...

Very good. One other change which is directly linked to the tram, because of the T-linked (tramlinked) buses, is a further proposal to reduce this provision of T-linked buses in New Addington.

Do you think that this is a sensible proposal to have a reduction in the feeder buses into the trams, particularly bearing in mind that that means the length of journey for...

Mr Pelling is dealing with the route between New Addington and West Croydon.

Can it possibly be satisfactory that the flagship of policing in the capital ' which you support ' which is the introduction of the SNTs, employ people who have criminal convictions? Can it be right, that because people with criminal convictions are employed on these SNTs, residents may perhaps, for all I know ' because you have not told us what these convictions are for ' be being policed by burglars?

Mr Cameron (Leader of the Conservative Party) is not employed in policing the peaceful streets of Chislehurst, but the people who live in peaceful Chislehurst have the right to expect that the people who are looking after them do in fact have a blameless past, and can be relied upon to protect those things which the MPS is designed to protect.

This is a question about policing, not about politicians
