Léonie Cooper AM: -- if I can bring us back to my question. Mr Mayor, you will have seen, as we have all just been seeing in our phones, that the London Ambulance Service, the police and the Fire Brigade have all been updating us on a very serious incident that has just taken place in Camp Road in Merton in my constituency where a number of children have been casualties. I understand it is not terror related. I am sure you would want to take an opportunity to send your thoughts and prayers to the parents of the children...

Léonie Cooper AM: Thank you very much, Chair. I want to come back to the issue about what percentage of the AEB - which I understand is £318 million in total - is being spent on supporting people into training for low-carbon, circular economy, climate-ready jobs. I am being very specific about what they are.

Léonie Cooper AM: I would like to continue to riff on the theme of the ULEZ and I would like to start with you, Commissioner. I know that we are out to consultation at the moment, so the shape of the scheme is not fully known to us yet, but I am assuming that there are now some discussions in progress with the DfT regarding the proposal to extend into outer London. I just wonder what kind of feedback you have had from the DfT on the plans for expansion. Has it expressed any views?

Léonie Cooper AM: I would like to start with Commissioner Byford, if I might. There are quite a lot of us around this room, including me and the Mayor, who talk a lot about a green recovery. Do you think that TfL is doing enough to increase and protect diversity across the whole of its estate and its network?

Léonie Cooper AM: Thank you very much, Chair, and long live the impartiality. Mr Mayor, I just wanted to pick up a few of the threads of things that we have all been asking you this morning about transport. We seem to be in a slightly contradictory period of time where, for example, a previous Mayor handed back the £700 million budget that we used to get for operating the roads in London. My postbag - and I know others - is full and no doubt yours, too, of people saying there are potholes. At the same time, we give...

Léonie Cooper AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. We have just been talking about the central ULEZ and some of the issues relating to it. Obviously one of the things that it has done is contributed to a 44% reduction in roadside NO2 levels, which is great. However, that is not good enough, as you have repeatedly said, and many of us agree, given the air quality problems in London. Just set out for us exactly, in advance of the 21 October expansion, what the effect of that expansion is going to be on air quality within the new expanded boundary?

Léonie Cooper AM: I would like to address my questions to Deputy Mayor Jules Pipe as well. Good morning, Jules. The Mayor has stated that through his strengthening of the planning process in London, London is already ahead of the national building standards in the amount of carbon saved when constructing new homes. That was one of the points that Deputy Mayor Tom Copley referred to when he was talking about overall housing supply. However, what I would like to know is whether or not that strengthening of the London Plan and the planning process is on its own enough...

Léonie Cooper AM: I would like to address my questions to Jules Pipe, if I may. I wondered, Deputy Mayor, if you could update us a bit on what progress is being made by the GLA in conjunction with London Councils through the London Recovery Board on the Green New Deal recovery mission.
