Given your statutory duty to "promote improvements in the health of persons in Greater London" when exercising any of the Authority's principal purposes, including promoting the improvements of the Environment in Greater London, do you now regret tweeting comments at 4:56am on 16 July 2014 in which you dismissed scientific evidence from King's College London showing that Oxford street has the world's worst recorded concentrations of nitrogen dioxide as "B*ll*cks"?

Was it appropriate for your Environment Advisor to question the rigour of the widely respected Environmental Research Group (ERG) at King's College London with regard to the statement made by their Principal Air Quality Scientist that Oxford Street has, to his knowledge, the highest concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) recorded by any roadside air pollution monitor anywhere in the world?

What are the measured exhaust emissions of NO2 of the following Euro VI hybrid diesel-electric double-deck buses that have or are due to enter service with TfL this year: (a) Alexander Dennis E400H, (b) Wrights / Volvo Gemini 3, and (c) New Routemasters?

• Question by: Stephen Knight
• Meeting date: 19 November 2014

Given road transport is one of the biggest sources of air pollution in London, would you support the introduction of a 'traffic light' rating system informing consumers of the exhaust emissions of all new vehicles (including particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in addition to carbon dioxide (CO2))?

• Reference: 2014/4278
• Question by: Stephen Knight
• Meeting date: 19 November 2014

To what extent have wider Mayoral priorities - such as the need for additional affordable homes and new schools - been met in the sale of land and property owned by the Greater London Authority (GLA) Group? Are there any examples where land or property has been released at less than market value to reflect the social value of particular uses (such affordable housing or education)?

• Reference: 2014/4277
• Question by: Stephen Knight
• Meeting date: 19 November 2014

How are you ensuring that, in selling assets now, the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) does not lose out on future increases in land and property values and the opportunity to gain valuable revenue income? To what extent were options for joint ventures and/or long-term leases (both of which would provide a longer term income stream) considered?

• Reference: 2014/4276
• Question by: Stephen Knight
• Meeting date: 19 November 2014

Do you believe that in selling assets now, the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority (LFEPA) will lose out on future increases in land and property values and the opportunity to gain valuable revenue income? Would you support LFEPA looking at options for joint ventures and/or long-term leases (both of which would provide a longer term income stream) as alternatives to outright disposal?
