James Cleverly AM: Mr Mayor, we have had quite an extensive discussion about the conversations you have had about what is going wrong at London Bridge at the moment. Obviously, my constituents in the London boroughs of Bexley and Bromley traditionally came into platforms 1 to 6 at London Bridge and they have now been constrained to platforms 1 to 3. Can you give me an assurance - or can you help me give my constituents an assurance - that the lessons that hopefully will be learned with the changes made at the platforms that have already been refurbished will...

James Cleverly AM: I declare an interest. I have a large number of taxi drivers resident in my constituency and I also have a large number of black cab users. One of the concerns I have from both the operators and the users of black cabs in suburban London is the availability of suburban taxi ranks. Will you pay serious consideration? Will you talk to officers at TfL about making availability on the roads that we control and making greater availability at suburban transport hubs for suburban taxi ranks?

James Cleverly AM: Mr Mayor, who do you think we should listen to when it comes to the devolution of health budgets? Do you think we should listen to experienced, thoughtful and well-respected medical professionals like our own Dr Onkar Sahota or should we listen to the Shadow Health Secretary, who was quoted in the Manchester Evening News as having “slammed Greater Manchester’s shock NHS devolution master plan - warning that it will create a ‘two-tier’ health system” and saying it would “not be on offer” if he were in charge in May?

James Cleverly AM: Actually, Mr Mayor, you went quite some way to pre‑empting my question. Obviously both the Southeastern franchise and the Bakerloo extension particularly affect my constituents, and I know that there was concern from MPs in northwest Kent that the service provided to their constituents would be reduced by a future Mayor potentially if they took control of the Southeastern franchise. Is there anything that you could do to hard code protections, for those commuters just outside London?

Mr Mayor, I invite you, in relation to the question that has just been asked, to reflect on the good work that is done by the Business Sector Panel of the London Resilience Forum, chaired by the Bank of England, which does a lot of work not just on ensuring that the financial services sector, as we said - which is very, very important - is resilient against both attempted fraud and actually more concerted cyberattack, but also does very, very good work in ensuring that information about cyber-resilience and online crime trickles down through to small businesses throughout the...

James Cleverly AM: Mr Mayor, it seems to be the fashion today to accuse various people around the Chamber of being liars. I will give Dr Twycross the opportunity to clarify her point. My question to you, Mr Mayor, is whether you noticed that in her initial questioning she said that there was a Conservative proposal to remove 13 appliances and then later on in her questioning she said, “It is on record here. The Conservatives have put forward a motion to review”. Although the words both begin with ‘R’, there is a massive difference between ‘remove’ and ‘review’. In...
