Léonie Cooper AM: Thank you very much, Chair. I would like to start with [Sir] John Armitt and go to John Kavanagh, if I may. In your 2016 report, Transport for a World City , it said, “Crossrail 2 should be taken forward as a priority”. You have reiterated that call since. Seven years on, do you still think that Crossrail 2 should be a priority? I am very interested in this because I represent Merton and Wandsworth down in the South West.

Within the issue of sustainable food, you will also, for example, make sure that the cultural diversity of London is reflected? That's a given, I presume?
