Do you agree with concerns raised over the past 3 years by myself and colleagues on the Assembly and, more recently by London Travel Watch, about the interchange at Stratford? Do you share my concerns that the lack of a suitably integrated interchange between the International and Regional stations threatens the viability of securing Stratford as a stop for international services? What are you doing to progress a solution to improve the interchange?

Please can you confirm how much has been spent on rebranding since the new administration began? Please could you confirm how much this task has cost in person-hours? What are your estimates for the whole rebranding exercise, after the necessary re-typesetting and re-printing has been completed? Given that there cannot be many people who were not aware that there has been a change of administration at City Hall, how did you reach the conclusion that a rebranding was necessary, and a priority in your first month, to "differentiate the work of the new administration"?

Would you support TfL and the GLA group working on a disability awareness campaign for public transport? While disability awareness and access needs on public has certainly grown over the past years, there is still ignorance of the needs of passengers who do not have an obviously visible disability. Do you agree that there would be merit in raising awareness of the travel needs of a wider range of disabilities beyond those who rely on wheelchairs or walking sticks?

Do you join me in welcoming Len Duvall's re-election as Chair and would you agree that this appropriately illustrates that at least some checks and balances exist over the exercise of the Mayor's powers? What lessons would you say you have learnt from his re-election?

In reviewing the viability of the GLA's overseas offices in India, China and Brussels, will you bear in mind that the promotion of London overseas is a vital responsibility for us to maintain our competitive advantage, in facilitating trade and attracting inward investment. Do you acknowledge that a review that looks merely at the costs of running these offices may risk overlooking the benefits that they bring and that London's economy relies on? Why did you pre-empt your wider review of offices in the case of Caracas and does that indicate a balanced approach or was it a political act...

Will you investigate the possibility of relaxing the bicycle ban on the DLR while recognizing that on some routes and at some times it needs to be maintained?
