At the end of the day you sold Londoners a line -- that actually the basis for the whole campaign, all that lovely money spent on your pictures, was all about the Underground, which anyway is only part of London at the end of the day. But the whole thing was part of your campaign to get the right system for it. We've Mr Kiley and all the expensive people he's brought with him and all the rest of it. Did you ever envisage that this government would give in? Or were you then quite certain that all your attempts...

The problem we've got, Ken, is that in the model for running the tube you said you'd have an increase of 17% capacity. That was going to be the basis for your improvements. You've also said if PPP goes ahead then there's going to be no improvements on those lines for 10 to 20 years, which therefore means the whole transport policy, the model you developed, is completely upside down. So wouldn't it be time to re-draft the whole thing, rather than to try and add on things and hope ministers are going to take one or two amendments here...

So what's the role that the Board plays then in the governance of TfL?

So what's your test of failure?

Can we turn to implementation of the strategy? Are you not -- by your own admission in the past you've been " someone who has a light touch on certain officers. Are you not slightly concerned about Mr Kiley"s restructuring, planning and integration and the blurring of edges within TfL?

If that's so and you're not very successful, do you expect Londoners to say, "Well, if you can't get money for London, what good are you as a London mayor?".

Mr Mayor, in your Transport Strategy you have said that in order to resolve London's transport crisis you will need and I'm going to quote, "The allocation by government of a level of financial resources that begins to address the prolonged problem of under investment" Now given that you as a so called independent campaigned for the re-election of the Labour government and the government has under spent something like £8 billion, how much extra money have you actually got for London?

So they are the performance criteria by which his bonus will be determined. And can the Assembly have sight of them because it has proved difficult to get our hands on.

If you would; because this is the one organisation of which you have retained the chairmanship. We have recalled all day that you are Chairman of TfL. Throughout your campaigning and the first 11 months of your mayoralty, you have stressed partnership working. The one organisation of which you are Chairman seems to be failing in its partnership working. I know you have been successful in your persecution of the pigeons and your appointment of the cartoonist: are you treating this all as a bit of a joke?

I thank the Mayor for that answer, and I am more than happy to meet his staff from TfL to discuss and identify individual routs and bus numbers. What mechanisms are in place for co-operative working between the police and TfL?
