I am very interested to hear, Chair, Bob's promotion of Biggin Hill International Airport, and the needed transport infrastructure, but to go back to the question in front of us which I think is a very important one, I don't know of the exact wording but your manifesto said something to the effect that consultation under Ken Livingstone's mayoralty would be the most transparent and open the world has yet seen and our experience from TfL is somewhat remote from that. I think it is an issue that the Assembly should look at in greater detail and perhaps we should...

Would you accept that if perhaps TfL had consulted more accurately and specifically on the issue, that those fundamental misapprehensions which underpin your answer, and which I can pursue with you elsewhere, could have been allayed because in fact it is not necessary to make use of that facility by going down the route that is suggested by your TfL officers? Would therefore there be an advantage in thinking and consulting again before blocking off this real opportunity to create a sensible outer London orbital transport function in that part of Bromley?

She has had lengthy correspondence with them in which they seem to be suggesting that it is a good idea and they want to do it.

Can I perhaps help return this body in some way to a state of repute by asking a question about traffic lights and it is really is about traffic lights? My constituent Mrs Eileen Palmer wrote to Transport for London about the traffic lights at the Bell Corner, Upminster on 11 October 2000 and they still have not been re-phased. So it takes considerably longer than the six months that you suggested in some case, does it not, Mr Mayor?

So is that it? You are not even thinking about it.

• Meeting date: 13 March 2002

I must say I am delighted with that answer, Chair, but I will have to send it away for text analysis.

• Question by: Trevor Phillips
• Meeting date: 13 March 2002

I want you to answer this question very carefully, Ken, because my question is about the safety and delivery for young people in London and it is not very often that we have anybody under 18 in an Assembly meeting. We do have one today, so you should be very careful what you say. We talked some time ago about TfL and safety. Well, traffic lights are an aspect of safety. John Biggs said that. I would like to know what steps TfL is taking to review safety of young people including traffic lights, but principally I am thinking about...

The question was around delivery and amending your priorities to support Londoners. Ken Livingstone: This isn't delivery on the A1306 Heathway Chequers Lane by any chance? The Chair: I did send an email around alerting members to the fact that we should be trying to ask supplementaries which relate to the initial question. I am sure your ingenuity will find a way to ask the question you want to ask related to traffic lights. Ken Livingstone: I still think it was the A1306 thing that John was going on about. Samantha Heath: The air quality on that particular road. You...
