It was meant to be a co-ordinated programme across London.

The second supplementary is that there was a time in history when you wanted to improve accessibility at London stations: rail, Tube, DLR areas. When we asked Transport for London about this, they told us about lots of useful little initiatives, which is great, but I wondered what had happened to the co-ordinated programme of action that was trumpeted that you were going to put in place with the boroughs this year?

This is all process; what about the vision?

Okay, well, I'm happy to let you off that one and blame the Government instead.

You would have thought that this question might have given you a clue that I was looking at some of the projects that had slipped, with reference to the fact that you didn't like the questions I asked you in the theme section. I am going to ask you three more. We asked the DLR planners the other day when they thought that the City Airport extension would be operational, and they said the end of 2005; in the Transport Strategy you say during 2004/2005, which I assume is the financial year, but isn't it the truth that the timetable...

I'll move on to something that may be more prominent in your mind, your tram project. In the Transport Strategy you speak of starting the construction of the preferred tram scheme by 2004.

The promises you make to people: Park and Ride plan for London - proposal 4E14 in the Transport Strategy said you were going to publish a programme for Park and Ride in 2002. Have I missed it or did it get published?

In the answer to Mike Tuffrey about policing you said you had no power. Won't that be a rather pusillanimous and weak explanation to give to the people of London at the next election? Isn't it really the case that in some ways your past historical baggage, in terms of being hard left, has left you unable, as Mayor, to exercise power over the Police Service to improve performance?

In the Transport Strategy, proposal 40:14, you promised to complete a review of central London's disabled parking scheme by the end of 2002. Where is it?
