The 2009 climate change act imposed huge extra energy costs on consumers, energy companies have announced a further 7% increase in costs from December 2010. You are spending £ millions more London taxpayers money on the unproven theory that is 'man made climate change'. With some elderly dying through cold in London due to unaffordable energy costs, do you feel complicit in this scandalous misery imposed on vulnerable Londoners?

Londoners suffered record energy costs last winter due to it being one of the coldest in the last 30 years. This winter has started much earlier with large snowfalls already recorded. Energy companies have hiked their prices for the coming winter months, can you understand why a shivering, sceptical London public, suffering huge and for many unaffordable energy costs don't believe in the unproven theory that the ruling political class are adamant is happening, namely global warming?

Your stated reason for not wanting to cap immigration is a shortage of skills in London! Are any of your London Taxpayer funded employment initiatives addressing this issue?

In light of the unemployment level in the UK over the last 20 years, what do you think is the principal reason we still have a skills shortage?

• Question by: Richard Barnbrook
• Meeting date: 15 December 2010

Rather than bringing people in from abroad to fill job vacancies, would it not be in London's interest to train our own people to highly skilled levels to address any skills shortage?

• Meeting date: 15 December 2010

Is your message about not capping immigration because of Britain's competitive edge at odds with trying to get unemployed Londoners back into work?
