What's the mechanism for members of the public who want to ask questions of the board, or bring petitions or deputations to the board?

Would you describe the Board for Transport for London, which you referred to in the last question, as being open and accountable to the public?

What about the board?

I had to pinch myself as you answered that question, because it's the same Mayor who asked for another £125m from London's taxpayers, on top of the extra £300m you're getting for transport from the government this year. That does seem to be somewhat at odds with what you were arguing for less than two months ago, but then you are a very flexible fellow. Back to the question of the board at TfL. You're in charge of the board at TfL. Do you think it has the strength, the capacity, the independence and forcefulness to drive through its programme...

Which leads perfectly into the next supplementary, which is - what do you predict your underspend will be this year?

I wanted to talk to you about London Remade, which has got support from SRB until 2004. What plans do you have for supporting that after 2004?

I'm just correcting what you said as across London. The strategy is not clear in the way that the money has been issued. The action plan that you have at the back of the Waste Strategy, it does give priority - I absolutely grant that, but it doesn't really indicate how you're going to be spending the £21 million more effectively. And the way in which the money has been doled out seems to be in conflict with the version that was presented to Committee, about how the money would be spent.

Actually John, that isn't the case, because in the London borough of Wandsworth, it isn't across the whole of the borough and that doesn't extend to housing estates.

Not quite every borough, but yes.
