Where surplus TfL land is currently occupied by businesses and residents likely to be affected by redevelopment plans, will you ensure that TfL carries out a full and transparent consultation?

• Meeting date: 08 June 2016

Keith Prince AM: Mr Mayor, there is a rumour going around that the weekly, monthly and annual Travelcard will not be included in your fares freeze. Can you confirm or deny the accuracy of that rumour, please?

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: I think you have broken your fares promise today but I want to pick up on delivering your manifesto. You made a commitment to extend the Bakerloo line. People in southeast London are quite sceptical about this because we have been talking about it for over 100 years. I would welcome some assurances, though. Can you give a firm assurance that the project to extend the Bakerloo line south is on track, that work will start by 2024 as is currently planned and that it will have an extension at least to Lewisham by 2030?

Dr Onkar Sahota AM: Commissioner, the Mayor wishes to merge the engineering function of TfL to ensure shared procurement and office functions in order to save millions of pounds every year to deliver the wonderful manifesto of the Mayor. What plans do you have to identify other duplications within TfL that can be streamlined to save money?

Joanne McCartney AM: This is to the Mayor but I will happily welcome Mike’s comments as well and it is about your promise on air quality. It was a major manifesto commitment and one of the ways that TfL can have a substantive impact on air quality is by cleaning up the bus fleet. Could you just tell us in brief what your plans are for cleaning up London’s bus fleet?

Gareth Bacon AM: Commissioner, the Mayor has said that the review he has asked you to conduct will ensure that TfL provides “a modern and affordable transport” system. I wrote that down while he was speaking and so hopefully I have quoted him correctly. Is it your view that TfL has been running an expensive and antiquated system for the last eight years?

Andrew Boff AM: Will you supply us with the times that you opposed your Government’s strategy to annual reductions in taxpayer funding to TfL?

• Question by: Steve O'Connell
• Meeting date: 08 June 2016

Steve O’Connell AM: To Mr Mayor, and thank you again for your early commitment to the tram extensions across Sutton and Crystal Palace. I look forward to working with you to achieve those in this term. This is on the same subject of the freeze. As you will know, I am like you a proud south Londoner and have always felt for a long time that south London has not always had the favours from TfL that Zones 1, 2 and 3 have had. I hope to work with you to address that. Linking to your fares freeze promise, it...

• Meeting date: 08 June 2016

Leonie Cooper AM: I would like Mr Mayor to answer my question. Good morning. I wanted to ask you about the pledge to use TfL land for housing and I wondered if you could tell us a bit more about what sites you are planning to fast-track for housing.

• Question by: Len Duvall OBE
• Meeting date: 08 June 2016

Len Duvall AM: Mr Mayor, in the past you have said that you would wish to see the increase in the proportion of TfL’s budget spent on cycling. Your predecessor planned to spend about 1.44% in this budget year. The Assembly has done a scrutiny report that said, really, it should be up to 2% to bring us in line with other pro-cycling cities. What do you think? What do you hope to devote to cycling by the end of your first term?
