Given London has a fleet of approximately 9,300 buses, even if you meet the target of 240 pure electric buses by the end of this year, less than 2.6 per cent of the fleet will be electric.

Given that Thames Water’s proposed Abingdon reservoir, while in Oxfordshire, would hit the pockets of London-dwelling Thames Water customers, what are your views on whether or not the reservoir is necessary and do you support the Group Against Reservoir Development’s campaign against its construction?

In response, Professor Yvonne Boyle said: “We do not have much data about dementia in the older BAME group…This is an important area where the data are lacking. Having a Champion will help us perhaps find some of those people and understand a little bit more how we can do better for them” What...
