Thank you, Chair. Cruel fate has dictated that I lead on this as well! I am very grateful for your opening comments. Can you tell us what progress you have made in your discussions with the boroughs in particular on how they might be affected, particularly on the planning powers?

What is the borough breakdown of the 1,600 schools with travel plans? Can these figures be further broken down into primary and secondary schools?

Can these figures be further broken down into primary and secondary schools?

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? I assume this is more tailored to primary schools, but for clarity please could you provide figures broken down into primary and secondary schools?

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? To help chart the progress towards the target of 100% of London schools with travel plans in 2 years time, will TfL be collating and publishing six monthly milestones? How many primary and secondary schools do you expect to have an approved STP by October 2008?
