At which meeting (including date) was the decision taken not to go ahead in 2010 with the safety improvements at Bow Roundabout recommended in the Jacobs report, and what part did your transport adviser at that date play in the decision making process?

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?

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 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?

No, I am concerned about the Bow Roundabout aspect. I know about the Newham problem and it is a problem. The reason I keep asking these questions - and I have had endless questions to you and lots of Freedom of Information requests of TfL - is because these decisions, especially when they result in the deaths of road users, in this instance two deaths in just over a month of cyclists, these decisions have to be accountable. They have to be transparent.

Thank you very much for that. We will pick that answer over later. Thank you. The thing is I have a list here of lots and lots of meetings that happened between your advisor and officers and other meetings as well, but we still cannot see where exactly the recommendations in the Jacobs Report were rejected because the recommendations in the Jacobs Report were for a much safer system for cyclists. So at some point you are suggesting that your TfL director of surface whatever was the person who rejected that Jacobs Report and decided to go with the less...

How many will there be?

All right, OK, well I do not think I want to dispute that, but I think if I accepted, and from what you say, that it is part of your responsibility too to make sure that cyclists are kept safe and this blame-the-cyclist routine is something of a smokescreen to divert attention from that responsibility. I will give you a specific example: Henly's Corner. I am sure you are familiar with it because you visited it during the election and with a great fanfare you claimed credit for the remodelling of the junction, but in fact it is a lot...
