Do you agree that new build council housing should be exempt from the Right to Buy, given that it is clearly unfair and financially disadvantageous for councils to build these properties only for them to potentially be sold at a substantial discount a couple of years later?

I regret your decision that West Ham and Canning Town should not also become Zone 2/3 stations but respect that this is your decision. Can you confirm that a passenger who in innocence purchases a zone 1 & 2 ticket to travel from Stratford to Central London will not be penalised or face a fine or prosecution if they choose to travel on the Jubilee Line to make that journey, even though they will technically be straying into zone 3.

Do you remain happy that OPO is not causing difficulties for the operation of these services, in particular for customer safety and risk of crime? I am particularly anxious about the effect of open access through any of the doors, without the passive supervision that flows from walking past the driver and presenting an Oyster Card by the front door, as this was a factor in the insecurity experienced by Bendy-Bus passengers.

While welcoming your surprise announcement that two further river crossings might be built, can you confirm that your clear policy preference will be for building, subject to design and consultation, a crossing at Gallions Reach and that the proposed further 'Belvedere Crossing' is not simply proposed to confuse and further delay decision making.

I remain a strong supporter of City Airport but with the caveat that the environmental problems it causes need to be carefully managed. Can you confirm how you are using your powers to ensure that the noise and air quality 'footprints' of the airport are minimised and kept on a steady downward path?
