Tony Arbour AM: Arising from the last point that Mr Tracey raised, you told us that on the basis of what you already knew it is likely to be true that a third runway is going to generate less noise than two runways. I may say that my constituents in Hounslow and Richmond have frequently heard assertions saying, “More means less”, which has not proved to be so. I wonder if you can tell us on what you base your certainty that there will be a smaller noise footprint from a third runway than there is from the existing two...

Yes. Speaking as a bourgeois NIMBY, could I please have clarity as to who it is who is going to take the final decision on bus stops? You have told me, Mr Mayor, when I have raised this matter in the past that if the boroughs do not support the relocation of a bus stop, that is the end of the matter.
