Further to question 1575/2003 asked on 17 September can the Mayor tell me how many complaints have been received by TfL regarding the routes currently serving Northwick Park hospital and which operators are currently providing those services? .
Will the Mayor join me in making representations to the Commissioner to encourage consideration of Stonebridge as a pilot neighbourhood for Step Change in Brent? .
Are you aware that in those police stations where there have been rapid systems to get fingerprint identification, to get DNA identification it has had a noticeable effect on the way in which those who are detained respond. What they are starting to say is once they know that their identity will be properly identified and it will be clear to the police who they actually are, as opposed to who they say they are, they are then admitting both their identity and also their involvement in a series of previous offences.
Do you agree that this just demonstrates that, despite all their noisy rhetoric, both the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives are in fact soft on crime?
Would the Mayor agree with the characterisation of the Conservative policy on road safety in London as putting dangerous drivers before the lives of children? .
In response to question 1727/2003 you said by March 2004 a total of 4200 buses will be fitted with CCTV cameras and that by the end of 2005 there will be complete coverage. How many of these cameras does the Mayor plan to be operational by the same date so that footage can be used in the event of attacks on either passengers or bus drivers? .
Does the Mayor agree with the boroughs that there needs to be a review of the powers and funding of quangos, such as for example the Housing Corporation in London or perhaps English Heritage in London? Does the Mayor agree with the Tories here that there should be a review of the powers and funding of the Corporation of London? Does he agree that perhaps there should be a review of the powers and operation of the Government Office for London? You just say it privately.
The late Michael Young, who was of course the architect of the Labour Party's 1945 Manifesto, tried to get inserted into the Greater London Authority Act, a provision which would have allowed the formation of Urban, Town and Parish Councils in London. Would you be interested in that emerging from the review we have talked about?
