TfL is consulting on extending bus route 42 to East Dulwich Sainsbury's and replacing single deck buses with double deckers. Will TfL specify in the terms of the contract for the new route 42 that the buses are at least Euro VI vehicles?

Why were the TfL finance and policy committee recommended to approve your Silvertown Tunnel plan before TfL finished analysing the results of the final, statutory consultation on the scheme, and before it published a report of its findings?

Roger Evans AM: Boris, I have been alarmed by some of the discussion from maybe some of the more eccentric people who wish to succeed you in your role, that they might consider extending Congestion Charge to cover the whole of Greater London. Obviously, if that idea was to gain currency I would hope that TfL would carry out a full consultation with residents in places like Havering and Redbridge so they can discuss their objection to this proposal.

Kit Malthouse AM MP: Just on that particular point, do you think there is any danger, therefore, of the Western Extension of the Congestion Charge being revived?

Steve O’Connell AM: Mr Mayor, turning more to your out‑tray, I would suggest, and regarding your legacy specifically for south London, could you confirm that in your forthcoming refresh of TfL’s business plan there will be a specific commitment to an investment spend on the Sutton tram extension?

Tom Copley AM: Mr Mayor, yesterday the President of RIBA, the Royal Institute of British Architects, Jane Duncan, called for the Garden Bridge process to be halted. This morning it emerged that TfL’s Managing Director of Planning, Richard de Cani, who is a former employee of Arup and who decided alone on the awarding of the engineering contract, which went to Arup, has just been given a job at Arup. Why was he allowed to be the sole decision‑maker in the awarding of the Garden Bridge procurement contract?

Navin Shah AM: In 2006, 45 out of 270 or 17% of Tube stations were step‑free. As of November last year, there are 66 step‑free Tube stations. That is 24% overall. This is an increase of 7% over nine years or so. Mr Mayor, do you think that this is a good enough increase in eight years? Not really a great legacy to leave behind, is it, on an important issue like this?

Jennette Arnold OBE AM: My first question is to the Mayor and then I have one for Mike Brown. Mr Mayor, what are you doing to ensure that the noisy sections of the Tube network are dealt with before you leave office and before the Night Tube schedule begins?

• Meeting date: 10 February 2016

Gareth Bacon AM: Commissioner, I would like to return to the £1.9 billion question. The debate earlier was interesting but it got a bit drowned out. Is the £1.9 billion figure a TfL figure or not?

• Question by: Gareth Bacon MP
• Meeting date: 10 February 2016

Gareth Bacon AM: Thank you. Commissioner, the final question to you: one of the mayoral candidates has suggested that TfL should look at a system of discounted travel whereby people who use Oyster cards who get off a stop early, be it on buses or trains or something like that, should somehow have a discount or a rebate. Could such a system work, technically?
