Thank you, Mr Mayor. You yourself have said that you believe 91,000 homes will be built in the Thames Gateway, inside London, which equates to around 205,000 in population, which is the same as the size of Milton Keynes. TfL are now saying we do not actually need a zero capacity transit scheme, even though it is this large in terms of residents. Are you saying there will not be enough demand?

Without guessing what my report is going to finally say, I think we are discovering that the costs are not actually as great as are being made out. The river is already there. There is no need to put the infrastructure in. I just ask again, would it not be at least some of the solution in and out of Thames Gateway?

In your letter, or letter from your office, on 23 December, it suggested that if there was to be a choice it would be Greenwich. Then your subsequent letter ' I think it is the 20th, it may be the 28th February ' you then changed that to say we want both. Given there is only going to be one, which are you going to press for, and why?

I hope that your researchers have bothered to read some of Gordon Ramsay's articles like `A Day in the Life of' when he actually talked about the fact that the worst thing facing him was the number of parking tickets he incurred from driving around London going from restaurant to restaurant.

Only you are not answering the question, are you?
