Thank you very much. I am pleased to hear you say that you think the employers and the unions should negotiate because the union has been very clear and is still saying that they have not had a single meeting with any of the employers, and I think there are 20, 21, involved in this, nor have they had a meeting with TfL to negotiate.

Mr Mayor, I am encouraged to hear that. What will you do if the employers do not respond positively to the suggestions that have been made, as the clock counts down to the Olympics?

I think most Londoners would think that, five weeks away from the Olympics, it is ridiculous that the bus drivers cannot even get the employers to discuss their claim. Mr Mayor, what are you doing to bring both sides together to have this discussion?

I have a letter here in my hand from the Leader of Camden Council who is speaking on behalf of Liberal Democratic/Conservative Partnership Administration, and that is what he says in his letter.

That was one of the critical success factors in...

I think he was quoted in the report, and I am sure he will come in. Can I just move onto our Chairman's comments about building multi-story car parks on Potters Field? I do not want to belabour this one; I am actually torn between thinking `Oh that is just our Chairman making another bonkers statement in order to get into the press'- and he rather likes doing that, does he not - and actually reacting to some of the alarm there was in the community. There were certainly serious reports in Southwark News where Councillor Coleman says, 'I think...

I think I do have a right to reply to a personal comment like that in this meeting. I think if Mr Tuffrey had continued reading that letter out, it would have been made apparent that I have recently met the Royal Mail' I have a right of reply under Standing Orders to a personal attack made in this Assembly, and I think I made it absolutely clear that I had recently met Royal Mail in Kennington and taken up the issues of poor service standards in Kennington, because in addition to the post office closures, I think many Londoners...
