Roger Evans AM: If you consider the 13 appliances that you are considering taking away plus the ones that were removed before, I believe the saving is around £25 million. If by some miracle you were to have £25 million returned to your budget, Commissioner, would you ideally spend it on putting those appliances back or would you have other priorities that you think would keep London safer?

James Cleverly AM MP: I am happy for either the Commissioner or the Chairman to answer this. When the traditional disposition of London’s fire stations was brought about, I suppose, with the early 20th century expansion, is it fair to say that fire and fire risk was the single biggest driving factor in the equipment disposition of fire stations and fire appliances?

Roger Evans AM: I just wanted to add my support to Jenny’s suggestion that fire prevention people might look at flood prevention as well. I wondered if there was also a role for them to do some joint working with the MPS on crime prevention because at the moment we have fire prevention people who go out and tell people largely to provide more means of exit and entrance from their properties and then crime prevention people who go around and tell them to lock them up. Might it not be better if the two services worked together and more...

Andrew Boff AM: On the subject of safety, on 25 November 2015 there was a fire at a tyre shop in Walpole Road, N17. This shop has now reopened. Is it standard practice for there to be an investigation or an inspection subsequent to an incident and could you write to me and say whether or not there has been an inspection of these particular premises? The reason I chase this with you is that there have been some concerns from local residents for a considerable period but they do not seem to be getting any joy from Haringey Council...

How will TfL bear down on fares and introduce more flexible ticketing from January 2015?

Mr Mayor, I think we have to draw an inference from what has been said about fares in this question. That is what the question was originally about. We have to draw the inference that perhaps the Labour Party believes that fares should not have risen at all since 2008 when you took over as Mayor of London. Can I ask if there is any estimate of how much revenue TfL would have had to sacrifice to keep the fares down for such a long period?

I would like to get some idea. Seeing as the headline of the question was “2016 achievements”, I would like to explore some of the things that you feel you are still looking to achieve by 2016, particularly in southeast London, which is the area that I represent. Obviously one of your very high profile transport achievements is the timely introduction of a New Bus for London. I would like to know when we will see more of the elegant and benign transport mode south of the river, particularly southeast London.

Mr Mayor, do you think it is actually important in your pursuit of the Estuary Airport that everybody should be reminded it is not your scheme but is actually Foster’s scheme? I am afraid your scheme we are not talking about much anymore, but it is the Foster’s scheme ‑‑

Boris, a large number of my constituents use the buses to get around boroughs like Havering and Redbridge because the rail links tend to be radial into town. So the announcement you have made today about the progress you are requesting towards resolving the strike is very welcome and I am sure they will be happy to hear that statement. But do you not share my surprise that the unions who were spending July campaigning for large amounts of money for working in the Olympics spent April campaigning for a candidate who was promising to slash public transport fares?

Could you write to me, Mr Mayor, or perhaps Mr Hendy could, with what action is being taken to address the high levels of accidents that have taken place involving tipper-trucks?
