OK. Our research a year ago showed that around 11 per cent of brownfield land in London had no planning permission on it at all, so that is an area around the size of Hyde Park that at the moment no-one has got a clue what to do with. Is that figure still roughly the same according to your information?

What possibilities is he considering for pedestrianisation schemes? . (Victor Anderson) In the advice that you give, will you be giving advice about pedestrianisation schemes, because you have spoken in favour of them in the past and they are also referred to in general terms in the document. But there is only one specific scheme that is proposed in the document which is the one at Trafalgar Square. Will you be pressing for others? .

What advice will you give to the Mayor about the two different views in the proposals document about development of London? One of the views in the document is the emphasis on orbital public transport routes creating a city of interchanges. The other view is that there are four development corridors which link the City of London and central London to existing airports or a possible future airport in North Thames. With these two contrasting views in the same document, what view will you take?
