Do you agree with the European Commission's detailed assessment that 'transport of air pollutants from the continent would not influence [London's] local air quality significantly'?

• Question by: Darren Johnson
• Meeting date: 18 May 2011

You state in your Air Quality Strategy that you have a "reasonable expectation" that the measures you recommend the Government take to reduce nitrogen dioxide will "achieve the objectives of the National Air Quality Strategy and relevant EU limit values in Greater London". Did you do any modelling before making this assertion? Does it require all the measures to be implemented, or only some of them?

Do you support smog alerts for air pollution episodes becoming part of the London weather forecast, in the same way that we have the pollen count?

• Question by: Darren Johnson

Defra only issue one smog alert a year, leaving Londoners to discover the AirText service to recieve further advice. To ensure the public hear about subsequent air pollution episodes, will you issue smog alerts via TfL & 'London Partners'?

In your answer to question 689/2011 you assured me that details of Transport for London's and City Hall's low carbon energy generators would be published in the London Datastore by the end of March, but this has not yet happened. The data from LFEPA has also not been updated since November last year, in spite of a promise for quarterly updates. Can you please revisit these promises, press for the data to be released and update me with a realistic timetable?

• Meeting date: 18 May 2011

Will you express your public support for the Warm Homes Amendment, which calls for provisions in the Energy Bill to ensure that an overall plan or strategy is published and kept under review setting out how the Green Deal and other government energy efficiency measures will contribute to its climate change and fuel poverty targets, which in doing so will better contribute to your climate change and fuel poverty targets for London?

• Question by: Darren Johnson
• Meeting date: 18 May 2011

As the projected LDA budget for 2012/13 is clearly too small to carry on your full range of climate change programmes, even with the London Green Fund in place, how do you expect to meet your carbon dioxide reduction targets?

• Question by: Darren Johnson
• Meeting date: 18 May 2011

Can you tell me (a) how many boroughs have agreed funding with you to roll out the RE:NEW programme since the LDA settlement was confirmed, (b) how many homes they expect to visit before the end of your current term of office, broken down by borough, (c) how many homes they expect to visit before the end of 2012, broken down by borough, and (d) how much funding they are committing, broken down by borough?
