Have you met the PPP arbiter yet?

Can I ask you again about the Chancery Lane accident, because you seem to be avoiding answering the question; there may be good reasons for this. Are you committed to ensuring that TfL's management gets to the bottom of this problem because LUL's management has failed to do so to date?

The question is will you give priority to further investigations that are necessary to understand precisely what happened, because until that time Londoners cannot be confident that there is not some lurking problem with the trains which may come back again.

If there is not a no-strike agreement, are you prepared to back legislation to actually outlaw strikes on the Underground? Did that not happen in New York and where Tim O'Toole comes from?

What if he gets into trouble while he is doing it? Will it not be really tempting for you to go and be human resources director of London Underground for a day and sort it out?

Exactly, so can I then put an even more important issue and ask you what pressure you are putting on the Government and Department of Transport to speed up the decision to go ahead with Crossrail 1?

We have actually got to think about the majority of Londoners, not just those who own their own homes and can let them if they live in a convenient place. What will be the legacy for Londoners who do not own their own homes, who are perhaps vulnerable and cannot see that they will get anything out of this at all?

Well I am obviously not supporting you on that. The Greens have got a real problem with this because we are very sceptical that it can be as environmentally sustainable as we would like it to be. There also has to be a legacy for Londoners. If you are going to put the Council Tax up by 20% ?

The British Olympic Committee has this idea about building a new road. I am sure they have told you about that. Is that something you would currently support?

• Question by: Jenny Jones
• Meeting date: 18 June 2003

Sydney marketed itself as the greenest Olympics ever, and it is possible that London could market this Olympics as an eco-Olympics, yet greener. What advice would you give to Barbara Cassani about how to make sure that this is the greenest possible bid? Who are you going to include? Are you going to include organisations like Friends of the Earth?
