I notice your deputy (Nicky Gavron AM) is raising her hand, possibly to correct you here because she actually is quoted as saying that your agenda is a car-free London, and as your climate change spokesperson perhaps she should know what she is talking about?

No, the question to the Mayor is: Why did the Deputy Mayor disagree with the answer which you just gave?

I agree with that. The 20% target was only published in your energy strategy just over two years ago, so things have obviously gone wrong in two years. What additional measures will now be needed in London to make up for the shortfall which as you rightly argue is down to Government failure rather than London's failure?

• Question by: Roger Evans

Is your failure to achieve this target and your need to get it back on track the reason for your suggesting recently that you would like to increase the Congestion Charge to £10?

I think we should be grateful the MPS has demonstrated it can avoid answering a question. It actually answers the specific one that is there rather than endeavours to impart information. We all recognise, Mr Mayor, that there will be a difference in cost between the borough headquarters, complete with its car park and cells and whatever else, and the front stations that most Londoners will visit. Are you content that the number and the opening hours of police stations across London are sufficient?

Will you be forgoing a day's pay?

The parent of EDF is French and it produces enormous amounts of nuclear energy. When you were at the Greater London Council (GLC), you declared famously London to be a nuclear-free zone. If you will pardon my phraseology, you are now getting into bed with a company that bases its supply of power on nuclear energy.

I am grateful to the Mayor for that careful reply and I know he has been well briefed on the issue. I do not want to get into the knockabout we had in the previous discussion with this because it is an issue of some importance to Londoners. However, I am sure you would agree it must be a matter of concern that despite that record level of expenditure, nonetheless ' despite that increased investment ' the NHS is facing its biggest ever deficit. The deficit in London is some £240.5 million. That is certainly causing trusts to have to...

I am very grateful for that reply. Indeed, when this question was submitted I do not think the announcement on under-11 free travel had been made. That has helped to address some of the anxiety and protests that many of us have heard about the withdrawal of the family travelcard. The biggest area of residual concern is about kids who travel to school on the Underground. I suppose I should declare an interest in that I am the owner of a kid who does such a journey, but in my case as an Assembly Member I am wealthy enough for...

Thank you for that. Can I just take you back to what you were saying about the lap dancing? Can you just tell us what the cost of the appeal would be and what are their chances? It is my understanding that when you go to appeal against the decision, the chances are very low of winning an appeal.
