Kit Malthouse AM MP: Thank you, Chair. On the subject of step-free access, within the very welcome doubling of the allocation is there any money to bring step-free access to South Kensington, which, as you know, gets more people through it every year than Gatwick Airport and yet is inaccessible to large proportions of the population?

Kit Malthouse AM MP: I just wanted to clarify slightly on the point that you made on the police firearms policy. Am I right in thinking that there has been no change in police operations in firearms and that we do not have a ‘shoot-to-kill policy’; we have what is called a ‘shoot-to-stop’ policy? There is this idea that the police who are discharging their weapons at somebody who, presumably, is presenting a threat to either them or others would somehow try to clip the gun out of their hand or shoot them in the leg to disable them.

Kit Malthouse AM MP: Just on that point, Mr Mayor, do you think it would be more effective if cyclists who were caught going through red lights had their bikes impounded immediately so that their mode of transport is removed and they have to then go somewhere to recover it and pay a fine to get their bike back?

Cyclists are much more likely to think...
