These situations do change since we put questions down, but there are always situations that might result in industrial action on the Tube. There always seems to be a number of disagreements there. When we get the result of the ballot on 22 December and it is in favour of industrial action, will you do what you have done before and urge RMT members to cross the picket line rather than disrupt services over the New Year?

Earlier this year, you told this Assembly that you would always take Bob's (Kiley) advice on who would be the members of the TfL board. Have you continued to take his advice on who should be the executive and non-executive members of the board?

Does that therefore not mean that you are likely to levy an additional tax on the suburbs? You have already told us that you favour those boroughs where the residents support you electorally, so will you, in effect, do as Herbert Morrison (former Leader, London County Council) did and take resources from the suburbs to satisfy your electoral friends?

In your first answer you gave us a list of spending on very worthwhile projects achieved when parties worked together. Why did you not want to do those projects in the first place?

Do you not think that sets an important precedent, because it is such an uneven battle if community groups and local residents try to oppose a scheme at a public inquiry? Do you not think it sets a good precedent that at least some resources should be made available to the other side?

I was a bit annoyed about the Red Route parking money not coming in because somebody in our team said that would never go into profit, and I felt `No, I will believe the Mayor's Office' and of course it did not.

Most of the promises have been delivered, but there is one on which, although you have done it to the letter it is not really in the spirit, and that is the whole issue of the Green Grid. I feel as if we have to keep pushing this and yet it is of so much value to Londoners, and to London 200 years hence, and yet somehow it feels like the brakes are on it from your side.

• Question by: Geoff Pope
• Meeting date: 14 December 2005

You are aware that a recent scrutiny report into the London Cycle Network expressed quite a lot of concern about the lack of progress and, in particular, the need for very strong leadership in TfL and for a much more strategic approach to be focusing on whole routes rather than bits of routes. I am pleased to see that £5 million is going to be put into the network, but it is not just about money, it is about the strategy and the leadership. Are you happy that you are doing enough to get the network in place for the...

I take it from your responses to Jenny Jones (AM) and Graham Tope (AM) that you would have got round to doing all the things that you promised the Greens anyway apart from giving £50,000 to the anti Thames Gateway Bridge protestors. Is that correct?

It is interesting to look forward to what you might be going to do for the Greens in the next budget. One of the things we have been reading about with some interest is the idea, which I understand from these reports that you support, of introducing computerised mechanisms into public-sector vehicles.
