Mr Mayor, I am sure you are aware that this is a chestnut that the city has been chewing on for at least all of my political life in London, which is now, sadly, approaching 20 years, and that nobody has yet come up with a workable solution. However, are you aware that pedestrianisation has been tried in the West End before? Back when I was a councillor at Westminster, on the urging of the businesses in and around Soho to the south of Oxford Street, we put in a pedestrianisation scheme. We had rising bollards and it was closed...

I would urge you to ignore the pronouncements from the party...

Mr Mayor, obviously you will share my disappointment that having secured an exemption for the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea just over 12 months ago, it has now been proposed to be removed. I am pleased to hear you are going to be lobbying for its retention. Would you agree with me, though, that the Government’s current approach to planning rules and regulations is creating a huge amount of uncertainty, not just for local authorities but also for the development community, and there may in fact be a break on development as developers and others wait for policy to...

On the Living Wage, this is obviously a cross-party campaign. While you very wisely adopted it and we have now hit and exceeded our target, are you aware of any Labour Members of the Assembly having written to a single employer in their constituencies or elsewhere urging them to participate in the scheme? Are you aware of any of them attending any of the launches, or congratulating any of the businesses, or attending any of the accreditation schemes for the Living Wage? Are you aware even of any of the London Labour MPs writing on the campaign, which incidentally the...
