Thank you for your reply to Question No: 1050 / 2011. Unfortunately my constituent feels that £20 each for a ticket, at least, means that it is still very expensive for an average London family of four, especially in this time of austerity when the Coalition has raised VAT and is cutting benefits. Do you not agree that ordinary London families cannot afford to go to the Olympic events?

I have been contacted by a constituent who was confused about your response on Question Time on 1st April. You said that the Fortnum and Mason protesters (part of UKUncut) did £15,000 worth of damage whilst occupying the shop. However, a spokesperson for Fortnum & Mason confirmed at the time that the damage was minimal. How can your claim of £15,000 be substantiated?

When did it become clear the upgrade works on the Jubilee line would go on beyond Easter Monday? I have repeatedly tabled questions asking if this would be the case, yet I received no notification before the 28th of April, and I have seen no explanatory materials, or your standard apologetic letter, on London Underground property. Were you hoping this would be overshadowed by the Easter holidays and the collective effervescence of the Royal Wedding? Were you hoping that Londoners wouldn't notice your lack of grip over this project and is this emblematic of your attitude towards your constituents?

On 12th April the London Ambulance Service advised it would be cutting 890 jobs. As you have a responsibility for reducing health inequality in London, when were you first advised of this cut?

In July 2010 you said, 'The aim is to fund the construction of the scheme entirely from private finance'. In April 2001 you announced that TfL would be providing "up front funding" for the cable car, estimated to cost £50.5 million. Why have you broken your promise to Londoners?

Kensington & Chelsea Council have availed themselves of your 'buy-one-get-one-free police offer by deleting PCSO posts and replacing them, at roughly twice the cost, but only half of which they will bear, with a similar number of police officer posts. While this probably represents Value for Money for K&C, and helps to meet the cost of a dozen police officers employed by the MPS, in what way does this represent wider value for money?
