Mr Mayor, given the opening of the inquest into the 7/7 bombings only this week and the question raised by the Independent British National Party (BNP) Member, can we acknowledge, publicly and clearly, the massive strides in safety that have occurred on the Tube network of London since 7 July 2005; the investment in radios, the investment in passenger safety issues and a whole range of things. London Underground is as safe, if not safer now, than it has ever been.

Mr Mayor, success has many fathers and there are more people claiming success for leading the campaign against the third runway and the sixth terminal than there ever were marching the streets. None are more opportunistic than John McDonnell [Member of Parliament] from Hayes and Harlington. Mr Mayor, the true people who deserve congratulations are those who live in the villages of Sipson, Harlington, Longford and Harmondsworth, who have fought for years to protect the place where they live --

If I may help you, and indeed the Assembly, Mr Mayor, would you join me in congratulating the London Development Agency through the Diversity Works for London (DWFL) for raising the number of companies that are actively pursuing DWFL to nearly 300 companies which incorporates within its process London's Living Wage? Would you also congratulate the responsible procurement organisation across the GLA group which has now ensured that £3 billion worth of contracts within the GLA group have within them clauses related to London's minimum wage, and indeed training opportunities and apprenticeships across London? Would you join me in congratulating...

Further to your answer to question 3928/2009, is the Mayor aware of the new opportunity for improved access to Ealing Broadway Station created by Boots's decision to forgo their lease?

Residents living beside North Acton Tube station have been informed by TFL to expect a further three months of night time essential repair work on the bridge across the Central Line at the station. This will involve a significant amount of grinding and cutting work on concrete and steel, which will create a major disturbance. Can the Mayor ensure that TFL staff are instructed to carry out all the noisy work during the earliest part of the work shift to alleviate as far as possible the misery for nearby residents?

Thank you, Chair. I would have thought one of the greatest risks that you actually run is the security of the site during build and, indeed, during the Games itself. Are you content that the structure, where you have got Ian Johnson now heading security, I assume within the Park? I am not sure if he has got responsibility for all the 134 sites plus the free to view Games. You have got him there. You have got the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) through Chris Allison [Assistant Commissioner, Central Operations, Metropolitan Police Service] and the public order with the responsibility...
