• Question by: Kit Malthouse
• Meeting date: 10 February 2016

Kit Malthouse AM MP: Given that this is my final TfL plenary it would be remiss of me not to go through the annual ritual of raising step‑free access at a particular Tube station that has more people passing through it than Gatwick Airport every year, which is of course South Kensington. This is probably my eighth attempt to try to get some movement on this particular issue. I wondered if any progress had been made on allowing disabled people, people with prams and other vehicles that would like to access those incredible cultural assets, as well as the residents...

Len Duvall AM: This will be a humdinger, then. Mr Mayor, 2000 and 2008 there was a 34% increase in bus kilometres. You, under your watch, for a period of 2008 to 2016 can barely make less than 4.5% in bus kilometres. Why have you not expanded the bus fleet despite the growth in London’s population of 11.24% over the same period?

Richard Tracey AM: This is a question for the Commissioner. Commissioner, I really do appreciate the direction of travel that we have been hearing about, but do you not think it would be a good idea if drivers, when they are changing over on the streets, were to shut off their engines? There are examples we have noticed in Putney High Street, in my constituency, where there are particular pollution problems and it is very unhelpful if the drivers do leave the engines running for three or four minutes while the do the changeover.

• Question by: Andrew Dismore
• Meeting date: 10 February 2016

Andrew Dismore AM: The particular routes I am concerned about, Mr Mayor, are those that are going to be affected by Conservative Hertfordshire County Council’s decision to cut £390,000 from those services, on top of the £1.5 million they cut last year, which threatens a number of outer London bus routes, which criss-cross my constituency and outer London and in and out of Hertfordshire - including the 142, 292, 298, 107 and 258. These routes are all affected and are essential to outer London residents.

• Question by: Valerie Shawcross
• Meeting date: 10 February 2016

Valerie Shawcross CBE AM: Thank you. The Mayor has just said there would be a plan to cut £2 billion from TfL by another candidate, whose name I will not mention. I have seen media reports of £1.9 billion, which the media have been attributing to TfL. I would like to ask the Commissioner, Mr Brown, is that a figure, either the £2 billion or the £1.9 billion that TfL has come up with? Was it from a TfL source? Do you own that figure? Then I would like to ask you about the assumptions behind it.

A joint report by the Home Office and police found that more than 80% of CCTV pictures are of such poor quality they are no good for police purposes, and most cameras are in the wrong places to help in fighting serious crime or terrorism. * Is the purpose of CCTV cameras, to tackle low-level, high-volume crime and disorder in town centres, being undermined by a lack of quality? * The report also claimed that authorities have no idea how many cameras exist despite claims that Britain is the most watched nation in the world, with more than 4m in...

Do you share the view of Bob Quick, Chief Constable of Surrey that government targets are making officers and the CPS "skew" their operations towards easy results?

Can you please supply a summary of the impact of the 2012 Olympics on the MPS Budget between now and 2013? There have been suggestions that some aspects of security in the Budget for 2012 are not allowed for in either the MPS Budget or the revised 2012 Budget. Please can you state what is being done to ensure that London council tax payers will not be required to fund this expenditure.
