The answer to Mayor's question 3342 / 2009 was wholly unsatisfactory. You say you believe in free speech but this was violent disorder. You failed to condemn such violence commenting that it was 'counter productive to the unpleasant views of Nick Griffin'. Will you here and now as Mayor of London and Chairman of the Metropolitan Police Authority condemn in the strongest terms possible the violence and disorder outside television centre perpetrated by Unite Against Fascism in which 3 Metropolitan Police officers were injured?

Now that the British National Party has agreed to open its membership to the black and Asian communities will the Mayor now agree that the current ban on BNP members to volunteer for the Met's volunteer programme should be lifted, bearing in mind the need to attract many people to the programme in the run up to the Olympics?

Recent reports state that the Metropolitan Police spent £12.5 million last year on translation costs with predictions that this will rise to £20 million by 2012 due to the continuing influx of immigrants.

According to the Mayor's Transport Strategy London will achieve a 60% reduction in co2 emissions from ground based transport by 2025, at the same time London's population and employment growth will increase and accelerate.

According to the Mayor's Transport Strategy some degree of climate change is inevitable. How can the Mayor make this assertion when it is impossible to say on current data what actually will occur? Hotter and drier summers have not occurred in the last 4 years in London for example, therefore, should we be less alarmist on climate change until the evidence is much clearer?

Would the Mayor agree that it is a sad indictment of the ruling political class that at some London schools and colleges it is necessary to post PCSOs outside the gates and at bus stops close by in order to control unruly students causing distress and spot drug dealing that is known to be taking place?

There has been a welcome and quite sizable reduction in physical attacks on ambulance staff from 355 to 180 in the period 01.01.08 to 31.07.08 and then the corresponding period this year. This is a very good effort albeit still 180 too many. Could the Mayor tell us what he believes has been the major contributing factor to the reduction and can it be applied in other areas of criminality involving violence against the person?
