Caroline Russell AM: Thank you, Chair. As my new year resolution for City Hall, I think we can all agree that the office of the Mayor of London should not be for sale in the new year. I made public earlier this week that United Airlines secured free publicity and final sign off on City Hall materials in exchange for business class flights for your trip to the United States [of America] (USA) in May 2022. Now, Mr Mayor, it sounds like this may have been a one-off error of judgement, but the months-long delay in responding to our questions...

Len Duvall AM: Thank you, Chair. Talking of new year resolutions, will you resolve to continue to lobby the Government to provide proper funding for London rather than relying on increased council tax in order to support vital public services which are all facing unprecedented pressures?

Len Duvall AM: This year, you have managed to exceed your delivery targets on affordable housing despite the challenging economic climate. London is also building more council homes than the rest of the country. The Government, on the other hand, has missed its targets by several thousand. What do you intend to do in terms of the coming year? Is it more of the same or are you going to raise your game even further by exceeding those targets in the coming years if you are able to?

Len Duvall AM: In the list of successes and achievements in terms of what you have contributed to City Hall, there was a gap. You missed something out, which I thought was important - others may not think so because they would like to forget - when you protected Londoners and particularly those who were involved in the TfL/Government debacle when the Government tried to force you to include a Congestion Charge across all of London at a higher charge. You resisted it because you believed it was too high. Is that correct? But you also did something else, again...

Len Duvall AM: Mr Mayor, is it conceivable that Project 2030 is a number of projects and not just one singular project? You alluded to procurements. I do not know if you have that information. I would be happy to receive it in written form, but if you can speak to it now?

• Meeting date: 12 October 2023

Len Duvall AM: Thank you, Mr Mayor, in the way that you answered that question. Information is quite important to get out there, because there are a lot of misunderstandings. You have made it clear in terms of the tolling, but if we did not proceed with the tolling, if ever that was an option, what would the options be in terms of replacement monies for not having tolls?

Len Duvall AM: Thank you very much. God, what an insight into GLA decision-making, not just the politics but if only we could take decisions as quickly as that and be responsive. We are rightly picking up on a number of important issues with this important policy change, which will have a major difference on family household incomes. Can we just talk about the future? I know budgets are budgets and we have to go through certain procedures, but I get a feeling that people want something a bit longer-term and they will be looking to you for that. Our...

Caroline Russell AM: Thank you, Chair. Good morning to both of you. Commissioner, just last month TfL published an updated Cycling Action Plan. The Cycling Action Plan notes that the fear of collisions and road danger is the most common barrier to cycling. There are still many streets in London with too much fast-moving traffic to be safe for people who are walking and cycling. Many people tell me they are concerned the police are not doing enough to support the victims of road crime, particularly in investigations. Therefore, can you outline the responsibilities of the Road and Transport Policing...

• Meeting date: 06 July 2023

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...

Len Duvall AM: Sorry, did I seem to miss something; that there was a consultation exercise that you undertook that you have to do statutorily? Is that because the Tories do not like the results of the consultation as well?
