The judicial review brought by Westminster Council against cycle superhighway 11 (CS11) was not the first such action brought against the cycle superhighway programme. Given that earlier actions were successfully fought off, what steps are you and Transport for London (TfL) taking to ensure decisions to proceed with such vital infrastructure are not open to similar challenges? Should more of the cycling budget be spent on legal advice to help schemes proceed?

In your answer to question 2019/0236, you made reference to previously published data on the pay differential between men and women, and white people and BAME people, but you did not fully answer the question by presenting data on the eight different intersectional groups of white men, black men, Asian men, men of other ethnic minorities, white women, black women, Asian women and women of other ethnic minorities. What is the average pay for these eight different groups in the Metropolitan Police? If this data is not currently available, will you be publishing such data in the future?
