I was just looking back at Mr Wechsler's answer to the question on water supplies. He talks about a utilities sub-committee for London that was looking at dealing with this problem. Does that committee include representation from suppliers other than Thames Water, because certainly those of us in outer London often have our supplies from other organisations? I live in Romford. I get my supply from Anglian Water.
If we were to, for whatever reason, lose a large amount of Thames Water supply, would they be called on to fill that gap, and would they have the capacity to be able to do that?
As a user of the Central Line, I just want to assure you that there was actually no positive element to the Chancery Lane incident. My constituency in Redbridge were absolutely outraged when the decision was made to close down the Hainault loop for further engineering work, after the rest of the Line had reopened. We really did wonder why that work could not have been done during the time that the rest of the Line was closed. I am a bit surprised that Lynne is suggesting this and I would like your assurance that you will not take this...
Over the last three years we have seen the Mayor carrying out a number of scurrilous personal attacks against senior Underground staff. What have been the consequences of that and how are you going to patch up that relationship?
First of all, can I welcome your attention to the problems at the east end of the District Line which you have referred to twice this morning? What percentage of the staff that you are about to take on are on temporary contracts? How does that compare to the rest of TfL?
Will the agreement specifically prevent industrial action on the Underground, or do you feel that like in the USA legislation is required to do that job properly?
When you talk about breaking through the culture of distrust bearing in mind the last Tube strike was only actively supported by 17% of the staff are you actually saying you are planning to go past the unions and communicate with the staff directly, rather than just talking to a few militants who might not represent everyone who wants to do a good job on the Tube?
