Joanne McCartney AM: Thank you. My question is for the Commissioner, and I am going to raise the issue of the Piccadilly line signalling upgrade. It is good to hear that you have better relations with Government than previously. We do know that the new trains will increase capacity on the line by 23 percent, but if it were to be given the go-ahead, the signalling would increase capacity by 64 percent. Can I ask you about the state of those negotiations and are you hopeful that we will get that capital funding?

Joanne McCartney AM: Thank you. Mr Mayor, I think you have clearly set out the triple challenges that we are facing as a city, and you have highlighted that the inner London ULEZ has been extremely well delivered, with some drastic improvements made to air quality. However, many parts of outer London are not blessed with the same extensive public transport links that inner London is, and your MTS is about encouraging people out of cars and on to public transport, or more active travel. What will you seek to do in the forthcoming years to make sure that we...

Joanne McCartney AM: My first question is to the Commissioner and it is regarding TfL’s Capital Plan. I just want to know how the negotiations with Government are going - and I have asked you before - about the Piccadilly line signalling and track, which is getting increasingly old and unreliable, as you told us at our last Transport Committee meeting. Please, could you just give us a brief update?

You mentioned the youth priorities would be one of the things the Mayor could inform us about next week. This afternoon some Members of this Assembly are meeting to update ourselves on the Time for Action strands. We do know from the information we have to date that a lot of those programmes have been put on hold because of the concern about funding --

How successful has the LDA's childcare initiative been? What lessons has it taught us?

I wanted to ask about health and safety because we have had the draft Procurement Principles given to us and certainly the (Assembly's) Health and Public Services Committee was somewhat disappointed that health and safety and achieving good health and safety was not one of those principles. Can I just ask whether you are going to do some detailed work on health and safety and standards and also how you would monitor that not just for the principal contractors but to ensure that those health and safety standards filter down through the various subcontractors that will be used?

What I wanted to ask, and it relates to what you have just been saying, is about the capacity of the LSCs to expand their offer, if you like, to young people not only in the local area of the Olympic site but across London. There just seems to be opportunities that we can re-skill not only our young people but also those people who perhaps need to change jobs or to retrain. Are you looking at the capacity across London? There will of course be a physical capacity in terms of building space but also in terms of teachers...
