Keith Prince AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. Good morning, Commissioner. Carrying on from my colleague, Assembly Member [Emma] Best’s question on buses, there is currently a proposal regarding the W12, W13, W14 and the 549. Some of those proposals are good, I have to say, but you are in consultation on those changes, one of which involves deleting one of the services. If the consultation comes back and says that the people are not happy with that, will you give that due consideration or will you just continue with the proposals as set out, Mr Mayor?

Len Duvall AM: Thank you. Given the Government is floundering on a whole number of issues, including transport, it has sort of lost control of the agenda for change in some ways. Therefore, I go back to the growth agenda if we go back to a question that my colleague earlier answered about suburban rail and the expansion. Is it not about time we brought back on the original proposal that TfL co-ordinates London and the South east that enjoyed - enjoyed - cross-party support and from officials but was stopped because of an ideological reason from the DfT by...

Keith Prince AM: Thank you, Chair. Deputy Mayor, good morning. A quick question to back up what my colleague, Assembly Member Best, was saying in regards to Havering in the Superloop. There is going to be no Superloop in Havering and I cannot understand why you would not have one of the outer-lying boroughs in your Orbital Plan. You are going to be deleting two bus routes in Havering, so as a result of the expansion of ULEZ there will be fewer opportunities for my residents to use public transport. We are going to be discussing it at a later...

Len Duvall AM: My question is for [Dr] Stephen King, it concerns the London Infrastructure Framework. You have recently released a report that calls on London to develop a central infrastructure development and delivery centre of expertise. What role would the GLA play in that? What is your thinking?

Len Duvall AM: Thank you very much. Thank you for the way that you answered those previous questions. It is very enlightening for everyone around this table, whatever party they belong to. Also, I want to thank you for the work that you have done on your commission. It is a very important role that you have in advising and influencing the nation’s infrastructure debate. It is important for the future given - as you said - the background scenario about money and the challenges we face. It was a reality check, really. You visited this building back in January...

Len Duvall OBE AM: On the Stadium, since you have both been in position, we have stabilised the costs around the Stadium. We understand more about what the Stadium can do or cannot do. You have conversations with all the tenants and particularly you have opened up a relationship with the anchor tenant, but there are still legal issues and they are about the contracts that you have between your good selves. What is the future of the Stadium? What does that look like over the coming years? What are the potential options around that? Could you just give us...

Keith Prince AM: A couple of things to start with, Lord Hendy. It is good to see you again. You were saying that you were astonished earlier. Do you honestly believe that such prime real estate where the [Olympic] Games were held would remain fallow even now? If we look around where we are here, if we look at Docklands, Canary Wharf, none of those had the Olympic Games, from memory, but they have all been very successfully developed out.

Len Duvall OBE AM: Let us go back to real estate around the Stadium. Most of that would have been part of the open space and parkland. There are no options and nothing under your plans that you would build on that open space element that is included in your development area.

Keith Prince AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. Did I hear you correctly when you said that knife crime was down since 2016? Was that the year you used?

Len Duvall AM: Thank you very much, Chair. My question is to the Commissioner and it is about screening out crime. I have been raising a number of questions over many years about when the MPS first introduced screening out crime, and I recognise there have been some changes along the path of where it has got to at the moment. I also recognise it is a valuable tool. Do not put me in the view that you should not be doing it or anything like that, but is the MPS using it properly and appropriately, and are we screening...
