In seeking to bear down on fares and help finance new infrastructure projects, please assess the relative importance of bearing down on TfL costs and uncovering fresh revenue streams.

In electing you Mayor of London, Londoners were endorsing a number of policies that will require Government support. How will you persuade the Government to accept the policies for which Londoners voted?

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?

This question is about a matter that was not the fault of London Underground, but I would like to hear whether you have received assurances of compensation from Thames Water for flooding the Tube a couple of weeks ago?

Thank you. Perhaps I could just go through one or two of the policies and look at some of the specific policies that were in your manifesto. I guess the one that most Londoners would find most important is that to try to deal and indeed to cut down on the number of strikes that are happening. You and the Commissioner have already talked about the bus strike but, frankly, that is one that I understand was brought about by only a third of the members of the union voting for the strike and taking part in the ballot. We...

I am very supportive of your aspiration to take greater control of the Southeastern Overground rail network because quite obviously, just on the nearby quick trip to New Cross, you can see the massive improvement in services coming through that part of the London Overground line. Actually, one of the things that I am also very keen to explore is the opportunities for greater integration of different public transport modes in southeast London. At the moment, my constituents are disproportionately reliant on heavy rail and I would certainly be keen for you to explore greater integration with Docklands Light Railway...

Thank you, Chair. Mr Mayor, residents in Havering, particularly the eastern part of Havering, are aggrieved that the toll on the Dartford Crossing has been extended beyond the time at which it was supposed to become free. In other words, they were promised they would be paying a toll to cross the river for a certain number of years and the Department for Transport has decided it will continue to apply the toll after that time. Just to add insult to injury, residents of Thurrock of Dartford get a discount for using the Crossing whereas London residents do not. Next...

At the MPA I have acknowledged the work that MPA members and the Met have done on this issue. Sitting as a Magistrate I certainly notice that there is a culture change in the police. Sir John, are you actually bringing the Magistracy on board as a whole? Because I have recently sat on quite a few of these cases and maybe one of my colleagues was not quite in agreement with my judgement. The most important thing you can do while the case is proceeding is to remove the offender from the home and that is the difficulty. Also...

Obviously it appears that the one-stop shop approach is working. On 11 September last year the Government announced the launch of a 24-hour helpline with support from Comic Relief, for people to report domestic violence. Have the police or the Police Authority been involved with that initiative?

I think Sir John's last point reassures me as regards the issue. I accept it in the spirit in which it is given. I hope that those responsible for distorting his words will reflect upon the damage that they have done to the Met's reputation. That is not a criticism of Sir John.
