The methodology used by The Real Urban Emissions Initiative to calculate fuel specific emissions introduces a factor of 6 to the concentration of hydrocarbons with no explanation at the top of the second column of page 4 of its report in the equation a + 6 c + d = 1. Do you know what is the purpose of introducing a factor of 6 at this point in the calculation process? https://www.trueinitiative.org/media/596931/true_remote_sensing_data.pdf

The Real Urban Emissions Initiative states its objective is to determine distance specific emissions in grams of NOx per km, but its report only presents emissions from buses, for example in Figure 13 in the Case Study on Transit Buses, in terms of g NOx/ kg of fuel used. Do you know why this was? And do you know what is the emissions data for the categories of buses highlighted in Figure 13 in terms of g of NOx / km?

I note Metropolitan Police Commissioner Dick’s statement on 27 December 2018 that: ‘A no-deal Brexit could be financially costly and put the public at risk.’ 1 I can remember a time not so long ago when Met Commissioners restricted themselves to fighting crime (and it’s not as if London is currently crime free) - rather than making incendiary political pronouncements. Will you remind Ms Dick that if she wants to get into the business of making regular pronouncements on political issues, then she needs to offer herself to the electorate as a candidate in an election? 1 https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/dec/27/cressida-dick-no-deal-b…

I note that on New Years’ Eve, you used the capital’s official celebration of the New Year to transform the London Eye into a version of the EU flag, its big wheel bathed in blue and its pods lit in yellow. Why would anyone want to usher in the New Year by celebrating, what is, in my view, a corrupt, failing, autocracy, which we are in the process of leaving?
