    • Question by: Andrew Dismore
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    It has been improved for motorists, there is no doubt it is a lot easier if you are a driver, but I have been there with the cyclists and I can see exactly what the problem is, they have been overlooked, and I would urge you to go back and have a look with me and the cyclists to see that. The key point here is the cyclists have become very concerned about your approach as expressed in your exchanges at the last Mayor's Question Time in May, so will you make it clear, will you apologise to those cyclists...

    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?

    • Question by: Navin Shah
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    Yes, whether that would be feasible. Also, is it sufficient that only about 21% of stations are fully accessible for games, which you said would provide the most accessible games in the history of the Olympics?

    Mr Mayor, it is interesting that in the central London context there is an alliance of local authorities across the political spectrum from the City of Westminster to Camden to the City of London which actually thinks more radical measures have to be taken, like dropping the age of vehicles from 15 to 10.

    Well, I mean, you ask people who use it, the local hospital patients or other users of that station, they will not accept your description that their station is by any means practically and in real terms accessible. The question is that station, as well as Harrow on the Hill, whatever the cost is, the fact is, if you are serious about regeneration, if you are serious about making those stations accessible, then you have to give us a programme as to when we can expect something being done. We cannot have this indefinite situation where there is absolutely no...

    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?

    Have you picked up the phone to any of the employers to actually ask them to get on with some sensible negotiation?

    Mr Mayor, I hope that cycling safety is also a cause for concern for you. In light of your exchange with Assembly Member Boff at Mayor's Question Time on 23 May, how many of the 16 cyclists who were killed in London last year would you say died because of their own fault?

    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    Mr Mayor, if some of the Assembly Members need to label every part of the TfL network as 'dangerous to cyclists' succeeds, could that not be used by defence counsel as an argument to reduce the legal culpability of dangerous drivers?

    • Question by: Navin Shah
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    Mr Mayor, the question is twofold: one is that, of the 270 stations served by Underground network, only 65 which would be fully accessible come London Olympics, and then there you have got this temporary ramps, manually placed at some stations. The question is that, are those temporary ramps at all for future feasible to be used as entry measures? The serious question is --
