Your “London Net Zero 2030: An Updated Pathway” plan to achieve carbon net zero by 2030 includes a target of “2.2 million heat pumps in operation in London by 2030”. This number of heat pumps would require a major increase in electricity generation and distribution across London especially on peak winter days, by my estimate in the order of 2 extra Hinkley Point C-size nuclear reactors, or a similarly extremely large-scale deployment of solar or wind generation. How do you believe this additional electricity will be generated and are you confident that the extra electricity generation required by your Net...

Prior to adopting a net zero target for London of 2030, your target was 2050. When updating your target in 2022 regarding heat pumps you noted that, referring to the previous 2050 target, “The previous trajectory in the 1.5°C Plan said that by the mid-2020s, 160,000 homes would need to be retrofitted [with a heat pump] each year, 900,000 heat pumps would need to be installed by 2030”. Since we are now in the mid-2020s, how close are you to the 160,000 annual heat pump installations? I assume you are well ahead of it, since you dropped this 1.5C plan...

Your “London Net Zero 2030: An Updated Pathway” plan to achieve carbon net zero by 2030 includes a target of “2.2 million heat pumps in operation in London by 2030”. We are now 3 years into your 8 year plan which notes that this target requires “280,000 heat pumps installed annually at the peak deployment” which it states will occur in 2026. How many heat pump installations do you forecast will occur in London in 2026?

Your “London Net Zero 2030: An Updated Pathway” plan to achieve carbon net zero by 2030 includes a target of “2.2 million heat pumps in operation in London by 2030”. We are now 3 years into your 8 year plan and, at the current rate of installations, I calculate that this will take not 5 more years but approximately 1600 years. How long do you calculate it will take at the current rate of progress?

Following up on your response to question 2025/2087, please will you provide me with the detailed analysis and data employed to support your statement that "TfL Buses are the vehicles least likely to be involved in a collision killing or seriously injuring other road users"?

Given the Government’s expectation that TfL should increase LIP funding, what concrete steps will you and TfL be taking to ensure this expectation is met?

In her 19th June letter to you Secretary of State for Transport Heidi Alexander wrote: “The Government expects TfL to continue supporting London Boroughs in their delivery of appropriate schemes to improve local transport outcomes across London through the LIP process, and to look to maximise the amount of funding available through this process for the period of the settlement.” Why do you believe the Government felt it necessary to make clear its expectation that LIP funding should be increased?

Are you confident that the “new capital efficiencies plan” which the Government requires of TfL, will find significant capital efficiencies?
