In your answer to question 1372 / 2012 you state that 'A series of key stakeholder workshops will be organised in June which will allow various parties to discuss their aspirations for the work at King's Cross Gyratory and to highlight the issues that affect local residents.' Given the confusion that has arisen with my constituents regarding works to the King's Cross Gyratory in the past can you please answer each of the following in full: a) Please provide a list of all the 'key stakeholder groups' who will be invited to these workshops b) Please outline details of how...

Yes, Peter, and that is the sort of response I have been getting for the last couple of years, and luckily I can say to you that the Borough of Lambeth have recently run a most successful campaign using ads; it is the campaign 'Know the Difference'. It is a campaign that Assembly Member Kit Malthouse in his role when he was head of Mayor's Office for Police and Crime (MOPAC) endorsed and commended. It has been taken onboard by other people and the only organisation that did not commit to it locally in Lambeth was TfL. These campaigns were...

Will you accept that you played your role in misleading the public in terms of what you had to say before you were elected? In fact it seems to me, on reading Sir Ian's [Blair] [former Commissioner, Metropolitan Police Service] book, that you were willing to say absolutely anything to get yourself elected. I quote him when he said, 'You cannot go on talking down the fall in crime in London which they have achieved, they need to know you care about them and the way that we can work together.' You looked him straight in the face and replied...

Can I just follow on and pick up the themes about reputational damage and confidence. I wanted to start with the Commissioner, just to ask whether he wanted to use this opportunity to assure us about how widespread the work is, across London, about the issue of confidence. When you think that in the paper yesterday we saw reports that one of your departments sent out a note asking for the images of police in the public domain to be deleted and only images that presented the police in a good light to be used, have you got anything to...

This is probably more a question aimed at the Commissioner. My friend and colleague, Roger [Evans], has already highlighted one of the regular concerns expressed by outer London boroughs, which is the balance of police numbers compared with some of the inner London boroughs. Linked to that is the effect that abstractions have on the outer London boroughs. Within Met Forward are there any plans to look at impact assessment for abstractions, particularly as we move towards, in the next couple of years, a number of very large and very high profile public order policing events; Jubilee, the Olympics etc...

Thank you for what you said about land acquisition. I certainly welcome the settlement that has been made with KICC, as it is within my constituency, and it is right to see fair treatment to this organisation. The concerns I have are about the smaller communities, mainly the traveller communities. I know we are down the way with the resettlement of the Hackney traveller community, they were expressing concerns to me last week about members of other traveller communities within the five Borough Zone. I want you to reaffirm your commitment to ensuring that the traveller communities will get fair...

I've got three questions I would like to put to the Mayor. Can I just start off Mayor, by saying to you, in the words of one of my constituents, Roger Gillam, well done to you and TfL and all the staff. He talks about the fact that we in North East London are absolutely delighted that you have brought forward some of the planned work from phase two into phase one; that's excellent.

No, I am going on to that, if you do not mind. The issue that he (Mr Gillam) has highlighted to me just last night in a four page letter is, you talked about the £2.1 billion and of course the revenue stream associated with that for the payback, but does that cover the necessary work that is needed in terms of extending the platforms? We would be unhappy if we're just going to stay with the three line track that exists; We would still be pushing for the four line alignment. Can we be assured that this package will...

Can I just add to the statistics that you have got there, that I was at a conference two days ago, and what we learnt there, from the latest figures, was that tobacco companies need over 700 people a day ' this is young people, under 20 ' to start smoking, and that is why this is such a critical issue.
