Thank you for your reply to my question 1646/2012 last month. I am confused why you have disputed the increase of a 75% increase in rape offences during your first Mayoral term. The figures provided to us by the MPS (via the MPA) showed that there were 1,904 reported rapes in the financial year 2007/8. Information currently on the MPS website shows that there were 3,334 in the financial year 2011/12. This equates to a 75.11% increase, not a 53% increase as you claim. If either of these yearly totals provided by the MPS is incorrect, please can you provide...

At a hustings during the GLA election campaign (27th of April at Norton Rose offices), you agreed that government should review the 2003 Terrorism Act so that British citizens could be tried before British courts. You also supported the case for the case of Babar Ahmad to be heard before a British judge and jury. Can you update me on what action you have taken since being re-elected to progress these commitments?

Considering the direct link between Heathrow and Paddington Station via Heathrow Express and Heathrow Connect, and the likelihood, therefore that Paddington will constitute a 'gateway' into London from Heathrow, why have Olympic Rings not been installed at Paddington?

Apart from a bar code and the Sponsor's logo, the bike hire scheme key fobs display no other information. Will you consider adding to it information about what someone should do if they find a lost key fob?

Why is lost property relating to the TFL bike hike scheme not managed by TFL in the same way as lost property elsewhere on the TFL transport network? For example, it is easy to forget the bike fob with keys attached to it at a docking station. TFL's website does not mention how customers should go about retrieving lost items and customers are asked to call a different number to the usual Lost Property Office at Baker Street.
