If a future Mayor were to introduce a single wage structure for all of London's bus companies, and the level of services remained the same as today, how much would bus fares need to go up to pay for it?

Steve O’Connell AM: On this side we welcome the alterations that are designed to retain as much as possible our higher London standards and apply consistency across our city. A question I have for you, however, is for the first time there is a requirement for developers to consider installing lifts in developments below four storeys. The Planning Committee had some concerns around that initially and we sought some clarification around this policy. Clearly one of the risks would be by adding potential costs to the developer they may be incentivised to increase the size of the buildings and/or potentially...

Steve O’Connell AM: Deputy Mayor, you will not be surprised to know that on this side we do welcome these relaxations. These are modest, however. It is interesting that colleagues are getting rather agitated over what we feel is too modest. I, indeed, had a report published last year that called for parking standards to be abolished in outer London and for outer London boroughs to be able to refuse planning permission based on insufficient parking. Clearly this does not go that far. If, indeed, my proposals were on the table I would understand colleagues’ agitation around that. That is...

Roger Evans AM: Boris, I have been alarmed by some of the discussion from maybe some of the more eccentric people who wish to succeed you in your role, that they might consider extending Congestion Charge to cover the whole of Greater London. Obviously, if that idea was to gain currency I would hope that TfL would carry out a full consultation with residents in places like Havering and Redbridge so they can discuss their objection to this proposal.

Kit Malthouse AM MP: Just on that particular point, do you think there is any danger, therefore, of the Western Extension of the Congestion Charge being revived?

Steve O’Connell AM: Mr Mayor, turning more to your out‑tray, I would suggest, and regarding your legacy specifically for south London, could you confirm that in your forthcoming refresh of TfL’s business plan there will be a specific commitment to an investment spend on the Sutton tram extension?

Gareth Bacon AM: Commissioner, I would like to return to the £1.9 billion question. The debate earlier was interesting but it got a bit drowned out. Is the £1.9 billion figure a TfL figure or not?

Gareth Bacon AM: Thank you. Commissioner, the final question to you: one of the mayoral candidates has suggested that TfL should look at a system of discounted travel whereby people who use Oyster cards who get off a stop early, be it on buses or trains or something like that, should somehow have a discount or a rebate. Could such a system work, technically?
