Have you got a plan to catch that up or are you going to be saying to Londoners, 'Look, you will have to do without some of the stations being improved' as a bare minimum consequence of this?

There is a lot of detail here, which we have not managed to get to yet and I can understand that you have not got that available with you. I do not want to talk about it in detail now, but can you give us a date by which you will be able to answer these questions?

Why did you remove the 95% debt guarantee? Surely that would mean that no one else would want to bid for it? It would effectively leave TfL as the only bidder.

I am referring to the 95% guarantee following the demise of Metronet, because up to that point 95% of the debts were guaranteed by the public, which was the price that was paid to get the private sector involved in the first place. If that guarantee is not in place, then it ensures that Transport for London are the only people who bid, but it does not necessarily make it any cheaper, because it also ensures that you pick up all the debt.

It would be useful to have a briefing on this at some point, but can I just ask about prosecution rates, because we put a question to the Mayor at the last Question Time about the number of people referred for prosecution, as to the number of people who actually made it there. Now, the conviction rate is quite good against the number of people who go to court. In fact it is very good, but only 20% of people recommended for prosecution actually make it into court. Why is that?

Over two hours of checking tickets on the number 25 at Stratford, a number of people were found not to have paid their fare. What do you think that number would be?

Is that the figure which is used for calculating the overall number?
