The Passage Plans agreed by Thames Clippers for their Riverboats include slowing down near houseboats. However, while substantiated complaints have fallen, there are still half a dozen substantiated complaints each month. Would the Mayor consider the introduction of Fixed Penalty Notices, issued by TfL, as another means of reminding skippers of the need to stick to Passage Plans?

Can you please provide an update on the progress of this scheme?

Can the Mayor assure me that he will encourage participation in this extraordinary cultural event amongst all BAME communities across the capital; and that the GLA cultural team will work to secure this?

What can be done now to ensure the education of London's children does not suffer?
