President Trump's decision to abandon the Paris Climate Change agreement means that, in order to avoid catastrophic climate change, other nations and global cities like London will have to significantly intensify their efforts to decarbonise and accelerate zero carbon energy generation. What impact will this decision have on your overall carbon reduction target? Will you be revising it to ensure it is still consistent with the Paris agreement in this new context?

I welcome the announcement of your 'cleaner vehicles check' scheme to provide the public with independent test results of all new vehicles based on 'real-world driving emissions'. Will you look at the feasibility of using this for setting a ULEZ standard for diesel vehicles, so that Euro 6 diesel models found to be significantly over the emissions specified by manufacturers are charged the same as other non-compliant vehicles?

A constituent has informed me that in Brighton, taxis have stickers asking people to refrain from idling. As part of your anti-engine idling campaign and spreading the message wider, will you encourage the taxi trade to adopt a similar approach and include stickers on the back of all buses?

The Government's draft air quality plans failed to include proposals for reforming Vehicle Excise Duty, so that rates reflect local pollutants such as NOx, NO2 and PMs, as well as CO2. What implications will this have for your plans to clean up London's air?

• Meeting date: 22 June 2017

You described the Government's draft air quality plan as "woefully inadequate" and stated that "City Hall analysis shows that the proposals will mean air quality will be at illegal levels until at least 2026". Do you agree that the current proposals will fall short of the High Court requirement that nitrogen dioxide (N02) limit values are met, and exposure to air pollution reduced within the shortest time possible?

On 7 June 2017 a Transport for London (TfL) spokesperson informed cycle campaigners: "The Met has installed barriers to increase security on London's busiest bridges. We are working with them to ensure that these barriers affect cyclists as little as possible, while ensuring the security of all road users." Please explain how cyclists' concerns around crush risk and loss of cycle lane space associated with these barriers have now been addressed by TfL and the Metropolitan Police Service?
