Susan Hall AM: Thank you. Good morning, everybody. My question, please, is to Rajesh Agrawal, our Deputy Mayor for Business. Rajesh, last Tuesday we had a very amicable Budget and Performance [Committee] meeting and the Mayor said, I quote: “There is some good news today from the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The Chancellor this morning has announced an additional grant, which will really help those sectors that we really worry about: retail, hospitality, all those sectors. He has announced a one-off grant today. It is hot off the press. This is a really good piece of news that will be...

Andrew Boff AM: Mr Agrawal, you mentioned earlier about how the roads were being changed in order to accommodate cyclists and pedestrians. Will the Mayor be taking further into account the interests of disabled people? These changes have actually negatively affected many disabled people, but they have not had the opportunity to comment on them. Can you assure me that things will change in the future, and that disabled people will be fully consulted when changes in the road network are considered?

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.

In light of that, do you accept the findings of the TfL study in 2010 that showed that, for accidents involving cyclists, motorists were responsible for three times as many as were the cyclists themselves, bearing in mind your suggestion at the last Mayor's Question Time that cyclists were largely responsible through road infractions?

Mr Mayor, you gave a commitment to make London 2012, the London Games, the most accessible Games ever. If you are serious about this pledge, why are the temporary manual boarding ramps being introduced to 16 stations only temporary, given that you are talking about leaving a permanent legacy for the Olympic Games, which you said will be the most accessible ever?

I know one of the concerns that many of us have in this Chamber, including myself, is the overcrowding and the relatively poor service some commuters get on Overground services into or through London. We know that TfL has suggested that they would like to bid for franchises that may be coming up in the future. The next one up is Thames Link Southern franchise, which actually incorporates the Great Northern, which runs through my constituency. Can I ask, is TfL considering bidding for that franchise?

Could I ask, would that greater control be running the franchises themselves or having a partnership where you set the franchise terms?
