If a future Mayor were to introduce a single wage structure for all of London's bus companies, and the level of services remained the same as today, how much would bus fares need to go up to pay for it?

Richard Tracey AM: This is a question for the Commissioner. Commissioner, I really do appreciate the direction of travel that we have been hearing about, but do you not think it would be a good idea if drivers, when they are changing over on the streets, were to shut off their engines? There are examples we have noticed in Putney High Street, in my constituency, where there are particular pollution problems and it is very unhelpful if the drivers do leave the engines running for three or four minutes while the do the changeover.

Valerie Shawcross CBE AM: Thank you. The Mayor has just said there would be a plan to cut £2 billion from TfL by another candidate, whose name I will not mention. I have seen media reports of £1.9 billion, which the media have been attributing to TfL. I would like to ask the Commissioner, Mr Brown, is that a figure, either the £2 billion or the £1.9 billion that TfL has come up with? Was it from a TfL source? Do you own that figure? Then I would like to ask you about the assumptions behind it.

Richard Tracey AM: First of all, Commissioner, you have dealt to some extent with this question of ward-level response, but can I ask you a straight question? Is it actually practical to talk about ward-level calculations? Is that really a practical point in the nature of firefighting or do you have to look over a wider area than simply a ward of - whatever it is - 10,000 people?

Valerie Shawcross CBE AM: You mentioned earlier, Commissioner, collaboration with other emergency services and so I just wanted to ask both of you about the co-responding model. I have seen it operate successfully in rural areas with retained firefighters, but of course the dynamics of serving a very sparse rural community are very different from London. What is your view on whether or not co-responding is an appropriate model for London at all, both of you?

Richard Tracey AM: Chairman, probably this is one for you as the politician of the two of you. The fact is, surely, that government, particularly local government, has been changing very considerably over recent years. That is accepted. The straight point to you: is it not correct that perhaps LFEPA in its current form is out of date and past its sell‑by date, really?

Richard Tracey AM: I must say that all the foreign visitors I talk to, whether I know them well or not, complain about the large numbers in central London now. It is a buzzy city but it is also, they feel, very crowded, extremely busy and quite tiring. This is a well‑targeted question that Tony Arbour [AM] has put to you about outer London. Can I ask you what you are doing particularly? How much are you spending to encourage people to take a river cruise? Indeed, they will reach Tony Arbour’s constituency. Tony Arbour AM (Deputy Chairman): They will...
