• Question by: Roger Evans
• Meeting date: 10 February 2016

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?

• Question by: Steve O'Connell
• Meeting date: 10 February 2016

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?

• Question by: Tom Copley
• Meeting date: 10 February 2016

Tom Copley AM: Mr Mayor, yesterday the President of RIBA, the Royal Institute of British Architects, Jane Duncan, called for the Garden Bridge process to be halted. This morning it emerged that TfL’s Managing Director of Planning, Richard de Cani, who is a former employee of Arup and who decided alone on the awarding of the engineering contract, which went to Arup, has just been given a job at Arup. Why was he allowed to be the sole decision‑maker in the awarding of the Garden Bridge procurement contract?

Navin Shah AM: In 2006, 45 out of 270 or 17% of Tube stations were step‑free. As of November last year, there are 66 step‑free Tube stations. That is 24% overall. This is an increase of 7% over nine years or so. Mr Mayor, do you think that this is a good enough increase in eight years? Not really a great legacy to leave behind, is it, on an important issue like this?

• Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
• Meeting date: 10 February 2016

Jennette Arnold OBE AM: My first question is to the Mayor and then I have one for Mike Brown. Mr Mayor, what are you doing to ensure that the noisy sections of the Tube network are dealt with before you leave office and before the Night Tube schedule begins?

• Question by: Gareth Bacon MP
• Meeting date: 10 February 2016

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?

• Question by: Gareth Bacon MP
• Meeting date: 10 February 2016

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?

• Question by: Roger Evans
• Meeting date: 10 February 2016

Roger Evans AM: Commissioner, eight years ago the project to introduce step‑free access at Newbury Park Station was shelved. Whereabouts is that currently in TfL’s in‑tray? Is it towards the bottom or the top?

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

Andrew Boff AM: First of all, Mr Mayor, you know my views on the Garden Bridge ‑ I think it should be called ’the garden path’ ‑ but I abhor the attacks on officers that have been made in this chamber today. If people want to attack something, they should attack you. That is what you are there for. I do abhor them and I do not wish to be associated with those attacks on officers. Mr Brown, we know that the step‑free access programme is a very expensive programme but it is something that Londoners want to see because...
