Mr Mayor, I hope you would agree with me that any decisions around closures or otherwise of police stations should be based on evidence. So also should be the participation or otherwise of Assembly Members in particular campaigns around particular police stations. On that basis, will you give us all the evidence again and send every Assembly Member a copy of the footfall survey that was conducted by the Metropolitan Police Service around every single front counter, which might illustrate that Hampstead Police Station, for instance, I think from memory - I may be wrong - was getting an average...

Would you also though in considering your views about this bear in mind, Mr Mayor, that there are particular crime types that take place over a number of years that require the retention of DNA over that period. For example, Kirk Reid was apprehended six years after his first offence and of course the criminal who became known as the Night Stalker some 20 years after his first offence when DNA samples were taken. Therefore we have to bear in mind that particularly where sexual offences are concerned these linked series which are often hard to detect can take some...

Would you agree that one of the most valuable parts of the London Living Wage is the fact that, as you say, it is voluntary by employers and therefore it injects an element of moral obligation into running a business and that any prospect of naming and shaming employers that do not participate in the Living Wage is likely actually to have a detrimental effect on its progress in London, particularly amongst -small businesses?

Flying for the first time on Monday afternoon, in the middle of the afternoon, almost all the cars had people in; it was full. People were using it at volume and I found it an incredibly pleasant way to travel. I have asked you before, now that it us up and running, whether you would consider extending the cable car network across particular parts of London. It is a very pleasant and in fact social way to travel and it strikes me there are other parts of the city that could benefit, not just from a river crossing but from...

I welcome your policy towards mixed housing and mixed housing tenure, not least because as a representative of Central London I am aware that there is a strong tendency for Inner London to become a ghetto for the very rich and the very poor and that you are absolutely right, we need to support those people in the middle. Do you agree with me though that there will be more social housing available for the poor and middle income family if there were not council flats occupied by Labour former Cabinet Ministers or indeed very highly paid trade union leaders?

In numerous Mayoral press releases it was specifically stated that the Get Set Scheme will allocate 125,000 free tickets to London school children. Such a statement is even stated by you in a video appearing on the Greater London Authority website (http://www.london.gov.uk/priorities/london-2012/free-games-tickets-scho…). How do you justify your past statements with your written answer 0416/2012 which states that only 95,761 tickets have been allocated to London school children?

On March 1st The Evening Standard reported that you said 30,000 tickets under the 'Get Set' scheme would be allocated to teachers accompanying pupils to the Games. Since the 'Get Set' Scheme is targeted at children from 10 to 18 years of age, can you explain why you consider it necessary to have a ratio of one teacher to every three children/young people attending?

Do you have any plans to review the allocation of tickets under the Get Set Scheme or do you stand by the decision to allocate only 95, 761 tickets to London school children?

Further to your answer to 418/2012, what steps is your new Overcrowding Board taking to deal with the fact that the statutory definition of overcrowded housing has not been updated for the last 75 years?
