In fact, this was run over two years and they did feel that it was something that you had to maintain because driver behaviour improves briefly and then ebbs again. The reason that I am particularly concerned about driver behaviour is because, although the idea of road casualties is a useful tool to actually assess how dangerous our roads are, the fact is that you might be able to cut casualties but still have fairly dangerous roads and so you have to tackle the whole issue of driver behaviour and tackle it seriously. Can I also count on your support...

Just referring back to the bus initiative, has all this money that you've put in affected the retention of bus drivers at all? In the long and fascinating bus scrutiny that we did, bus companies said that actually keeping drivers was the hardest thing and, I wonder, has there been any impact on that? .

I'm hoping that your traffic policing initiative is actually going to help with that as well because the drivers themselves actually said that the two biggest problems for them were congestion and assault. To get to my questions, Darren, Victor and I were absolutely delighted when you reinstated the money cycle network and I do want to thank you for that. However, it still means that the budget is only standing still and I'm very concerned that in future years it will be increased. If you multiplied it by four, you'd still only be paying the amount that you're putting...

My second question is on safe routes to schools because at the present rate with the present investment, it's going to take about 20 years to get a safe route to every school. In many north London boroughs it's actually the biggest cause of congestion at peak hours. It amounts to something like well over 50% of congestion. Now it seems to me that by making it a quite strategic project, you can actually solve your congestion problem at the same time that you're bringing in the charge.

Does that mean that you are going to try to put more money into safe routes to schools?

My next question isn't very fair but it's the third issue that's very close to my heart and that's road safety. The fact is that we greatly need a partnership between TfL, the boroughs and the police. At the moment TfL and the boroughs do seem to be putting in the necessary budget for it but the police are clearly not putting in the budget. In fact the budget figures for this year are less than in the 1980s and 1990s. It sounds to me as if we can anticipate a rise in road deaths this year and that would...

What is the TfL timetable for the LEZ feasibility study and the possible implementation of a zone(s)? Does this differ from the timetable agreed at the feasibility study meeting on the 29th June? .

Would TfL give its blessing to the creation of an Low Emission Zone by some of the central and inner London boroughs, if they feel forced to `go it alone', in order to meet their legally binding targets for air quality for 2004 and 2005? .

Will you increase the budget for the boroughs in the years 2002/3 and 2003/4 at least in line with the proportional increase in the total allocated to Transport for London by the Government? .

Will you guarantee that the boroughs receive the full amount they need (based upon the bids made in their local implementation plans) to deliver on the Transport Strategy promise of a zero increase in traffic growth in the town centers of outer London? .
