Given the huge concerns about this that are now growing locally, and you cannot dismiss those, this should be a matter for a public inquiry. Why can you not put this project back and accept the results of the public inquiry as part of the open democratic process?

What would be the consequence of the roll-out of the Neighbourhood Policing Teams if say the budget was cut by 3%?

Further to that, do we not also recognise that there are serious costs to London's economy in terms of firms and investors choosing not to locate here because of the levels of congestion and the additional cost that incurs to the operation of their businesses?

• Question by: John Biggs
• Meeting date: 26 January 2005

Do you think it would be helpful as part of the budget debate if we were to remind ourselves, and perhaps do this as a refresher if you like over the next year, of the opportunity cost of not investing in London's transport?

Therefore it is TfL and therefore those who pay for TfL either through fares or through the Council Tax.

• Meeting date: 26 January 2005

Yes, we do in that sense, but central Government does not bear any risk in relation to the bonds does it?

• Question by: Bob Neill
• Meeting date: 26 January 2005

A separate issue on the bonds. At the end of the day, and with a lot of detailed questioning, it is right, and I am sure Mr Critchley can agree, that the ultimate guarantor of the debt is who?

`Tag and beacon- might be rather closer.

• Question by: Angie Bray
• Meeting date: 26 January 2005

Why did we have this curious split yesterday with Mr Kiley obviously enthusiastic about it and talking about the trials that are taking place and the fact that it was just the round the corner on offer for the whole of London's pinch-points, and why did you, Mayor, go out of your way yesterday to say you knew hardly anything about it and quite honestly it was nothing that was going to happen in the next decade at the very least?

• Question by: Andrew Pelling
• Meeting date: 26 January 2005

In those negotiations it would be good to know what the value was of the Travelcards that are given. Why cannot TfL manage to have a calculation on the value? Surely it is possible to have such a calculation?
