Andrew Dismore AM: I would like to ask the Mayor about the advertisements on the Tube for tourism in northern Cyprus and whether they will be continuing in the future. Do you accept that they have caused widespread distress and serious offence to the Greek Cypriots in London and my constituents? The advertisements mislead the public, who might not realise that many of the businesses that would benefit from this tourism are on illegally expropriated land and that the airport in northern Cyprus does not comply with International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) safety standards either.

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.

Andrew Dismore AM: That is the most bizarre conspiracy theory I have ever heard, verging on the United States blowing up the Twin Towers themselves. What I wanted to ask Ron about, actually, was an issue which I put to James [Cleverly] at the last Fire Authority meeting on industrial relations training. We know from the answers there that senior officers only get half a day’s industrial relations training. Do you think industrial relations in the fire service are good and well received all around and are operating as they should be?
