Are you satisfied with the level of safety and security for passengers on public transport in London?

Will you be pressing for further expansion, because I think you have said that there is a limit to how many people you can train in policing, so are you going to be planning for further expansion next year?

Do you not think that is going to aggravate people from minority groups?

Does that mean we have not seen the last of the big car-based retail developments in London while you are Mayor?

King's Cross is probably one of the best-served public transport interchanges in the entire country. Is it really necessary to have that much car-parking space, and is the problem due to the lack of legal powers within your London Plan or lack of political will on your part to really get to grips with it?

There are various car-free developments that are gaining popularity now. Has your planning team ever asked a developer to replace all the residential parking apart from that for the disabled with a car club scheme and basically have a car-free development?

However, it is a different picture with some of these big retail developments and the large residential developments. Was it not a consideration both with Stratford and with King's Cross that both of these areas breach European Union (EU) air quality limits already, and was it really responsible to provide for more car-parking provision, increasing more traffic, bringing more cars into the area, when we are already breaching EU air quality limits in these two areas?

King's Cross has over 1,000 residential car-parking spaces as well as a huge number, the maximum amount, of commercial parking spaces as well as Stratford City. These are not places that are badly served by public transport.

That has obviously got to be the right approach, and regenerating local high streets as well. Does the London Plan, therefore, need tightening up to prevent a whole new round of schemes like White City, Stratford City, Brent Cross and all the rest of them? Do we need a stronger London Plan policy?

I think Mr Johnson (AM) slightly underestimates the importance to West London of the very regenerative qualities of the White City development in what was a very rundown area. I think you will recall that the then Labour-run Hammersmith & Fulham Council ' no longer ' was agreeable to the car-parking that was going to be allowed at the White City development in order to leverage in the money that would otherwise not have been available to build White City, which everybody agrees is a very important part of the regeneration of that part of London. Would you not agree...
