Ok, I am grateful for that. I take it from your reply that the review will look at whether there are other lessons about the way we respond to anxieties without accident records. I share many of Jenny's [Jones] concerns, although I think we need to be cool and calm about this. If people are to blame, then they need to be held to account for that.

Darren Johnson (Deputy Chair): Assembly Member Biggs has a point of order. John Biggs (AM): The Chair told us there was a standing order about making assertions for which there was no evidence. Now, the Mayor has at the one time made an assertion for which he has evidence that he can cut council tax. Now he has made another assertion that on fares, he can make no such commitment.

The success of the Walk on Wednesday incentive campaign is a credit to all those involved in making this happen, with an impressive 218,000 pupils taking part. Please could you provide me with a borough breakdown of participating schools and pupils?

Please can you breakdown your 70% target of London schools with an approved STP by April 2008. How many primary and secondary schools do you expect to have approved plans by this date?

How many primary and secondary schools do you expect to have an approved STP by October 2008?

I have read in the press, and heard directly from constituents, that some drivers are letting passengers with insufficient funds on their Oyster cards board the bus. Are drivers expected in any way to regulate the use of tickets on their buses?

Will TfL review its decision to not provide a direct link between Barking and the Queen's Hospital in Romford? Although direct services exist from other local areas, the busy transport interchange at Barking lacks a direct link to the hospital, with passengers having to change buses and therefore pay two Oyster or cash fares in each direction.
