Roger Evans AM: Boris, I have been alarmed by some of the discussion from maybe some of the more eccentric people who wish to succeed you in your role, that they might consider extending Congestion Charge to cover the whole of Greater London. Obviously, if that idea was to gain currency I would hope that TfL would carry out a full consultation with residents in places like Havering and Redbridge so they can discuss their objection to this proposal.

Roger Evans AM: Commissioner, eight years ago the project to introduce step‑free access at Newbury Park Station was shelved. Whereabouts is that currently in TfL’s in‑tray? Is it towards the bottom or the top?

Mayor John Biggs AM: Thank you very much for your earlier answers. I obviously have a parochial interest as the Assembly Member for East London. Particularly Newham but also Tower Hamlets have been adversely affected by the closure of fire stations and the loss of appliances. In your current proposals, potentially we lose another three appliances in Poplar, Plaistow and Stratford and a fourth nearby in Shoreditch. Can you tell us what the cumulative impact would be on residents in my constituency in East London and whether there would be more areas that will fall outside the six-minute response time...

Roger Evans AM: If you consider the 13 appliances that you are considering taking away plus the ones that were removed before, I believe the saving is around £25 million. If by some miracle you were to have £25 million returned to your budget, Commissioner, would you ideally spend it on putting those appliances back or would you have other priorities that you think would keep London safer?

Roger Evans AM: I just wanted to add my support to Jenny’s suggestion that fire prevention people might look at flood prevention as well. I wondered if there was also a role for them to do some joint working with the MPS on crime prevention because at the moment we have fire prevention people who go out and tell people largely to provide more means of exit and entrance from their properties and then crime prevention people who go around and tell them to lock them up. Might it not be better if the two services worked together and more...

Roger Evans AM: Commissioner, the MPS is currently conducting some very positive trials with body‑worn cameras. Would you see any use for that type of technology within the LFB?

Roger Evans AM: Should tourists become bored with Richmond eventually, of course, they can travel ‑‑ Tony Arbour AM (Deputy Chairman): Tired of Richmond? Roger Evans AM: No doubt at an advanced age by that time, they can travel east to sample the delights of outer east London. One of the great things about outer London for tourists, of course, is that it is less polluted and less noisy than inner London. It provides a bit of a haven for them. Do you think that airport expansion plans could put this in danger?

Roger Evans AM: I would like to return to the debate about building links with the Indian market here in London. Recently I spoke at the World Hindu Economic Forum and also at Diwali in the Square and I was struck on both of those occasions by the size and the enthusiasm of London’s population of Hindus and Sikhs with Indian roots. What is L&P doing to use that enthusiasm and those existing links to benefit the city and to encourage more development?

Mayor John Biggs AM: I would like to be in a position to apologise for some fellow Members of the Assembly. I will start by thanking you enormously for the work you have done and for the very thorough way in which you answered the question you were asked, while recognising that there is a significant minority of people who believe it was the wrong question and that there are quite a lot of other people who seek elected office - and maybe occasionally I am a bit like this - and who would like to pretend that the desire...

What plans do you have to honour the promise to relocate the Newham travellers into the Olympic Park in legacy? Alternatively, what steps are you taking to compensate them for their loss of opportunity?
