Have you had any practices of tracking down vehicles who have perhaps already gone twice into the zone?

You feel you have enough staff to carry this through?

Have any of those been caught yet with this system?

So, you haven't got them in place now?

Thank you for your kind words; you did have our wholehearted support and you will have our wholehearted support for extending the zone. I am delighted to hear that you're thinking about extending it to Tower Hamlets which is a very deprived borough. It doesn't seem particularly fair that it's the richer boroughs, like Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster and Mayfair, who should have all the pleasure of reduced car traffic. This idea of a buffer zone from the Labour group is absolutely ludicrous. The true sort of buffer zone is extending the zone as far as we possibly can...

Why weren't you doing that before?

Have you been rephasing any traffic lights? Tony Travers - that well-known impartial commentator - has said on radio that he anecdotally believes that certain key lights have been rephased.

Can I also ask you about a couple of other things while I've got your attention? The road works: when are the road works going to be back on the roads again because they've also been removed, haven't they, for a period of time to ease in your charge?

The last thing I want to ask you about is in terms of extension. I think people will want it, it's going to be very popular, but my understanding is, at the moment, the capacity within the technology is such that you couldn't go beyond Kensington and Tower Hamlets. That would be the maximum extension available at this point in time.

So, you will give those to us when you get them.
