Victoria Borwick AM MP: Thank you. Mr Mayor, just to take us back briefly to that other point, I am sure you were as delighted as I was that this Government undertook to honour Simon Stevens’ [Chief Executive Officer, NHS England] request for £8 billion in funding and to ring-fence the NHS funding. Just to put any clarification on the previous comments that were made, we have had an assurance that the NHS funding would continue and that Simon Stevens’ request will be met in full.

Kit Malthouse AM MP: Thank you. I just wanted to return to the procurement of these electric buses. Am I right in thinking that the first ones that arrive will be entirely manufactured in China?

Victoria Borwick AM MP: If I may, I would just like to follow on and say that there are other boroughs that are very concerned. In fact, I have a residents group in Kensington and Chelsea that is extremely dismayed that it seems to be that others are moving ahead on this agenda. I would - I think - second the points made by Mr Dismore, not all of them, but I know there are others around here who I am sure could instance their boroughs and issues with this. There seems to be subsidies and other information for other...

Kit Malthouse AM MP: I assume that you would accept that for all the businesses and people employed in the area of green technology and green industries, 80% of what they do and what holds them back is exactly the same as for businesses that are not involved in those technologies. Therefore, your work on small business, science and technology and all those areas of emphasis would be equally as applicable to green technology, Jenny ‑‑ Jenny Jones AM: Yes. Kit Malthouse AM MP: ‑‑ as they are to other things. Harvey McGrath (Deputy Chair, London Enterprise Panel): Indeed. Kit...

Local residents in Knightsbridge are often blighted during the summer months by drivers in supercars who behave in an anti-social way, and have a complete disregard for the rules of the road. As we approach the summer, when the majority of these instances occur, what more can the Metropolitan Police Service do to crack down on drivers using some areas of London as their own personal race course?

Kit Malthouse AM MP: Just on that point, Mr Mayor, do you think it would be more effective if cyclists who were caught going through red lights had their bikes impounded immediately so that their mode of transport is removed and they have to then go somewhere to recover it and pay a fine to get their bike back? As a cyclist myself, the most inconvenient thing is to lose your bike in the middle of a journey and to have to then clack off in boots and Lycra to get the Tube. Cyclists are much more likely to think...

Victoria Borwick AM MP: Thank you. Mr Mayor, if I just follow on briefly on that, I actually speak in that sense for the wider area. Where the Tube lines are open on the surface, they may be hidden behind buildings, for example, fences, gardens and other things. What has happened is that TfL has replaced the old wooden joints with the concrete ones and there is nothing to absorb the vibration. That is part of the upgrade work, the result of which all of us in central London have had complaints, as these thing bed in, about the grinding...
