Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Thank you. Mr Mayor, just ten weeks ago, in answer to a Mayoral question (MQ), you stated, “The Elizabeth line remains on course to open as planned in December 2018”. The Commissioner, in the TfL Board report of 25 July [2018] stated, “Crossrail remains on course to open as planned in December”.

Florence Eshalomi AM: Thank you. To come back to Crossrail, on this side [of the table] we definitely recognise the scale of this project but once completed it will be a big success for London. I am definitely looking forward to when it opens. You may be aware of Rob Holden’s [CBE, Chairman, High Speed 1] letter last week in The Times where he stated, “The problems with Crossrail arose from the decision taken in 2011 to delay the procurement of new rolling stock, a decision that has affected the commissioning of those new trains ... signalling was always going...

Caroline Russell AM: Thank you, Chairman. I want to ask about the experience of the passengers who are waiting to use this line but before I get on to those questions I want to pick up on something that Sir Terry said at the very beginning.

Good. That will certainly start to clear things up. On the home insulation and sustainability work that you mentioned, the implementation plan for the final version of the Climate Change and Energy Strategy in May 2011, will this take account of the new settlement as it is, rather than simply the projected wish list that you were working to previously?

Sir Simon, it is the job of the Labour Party to say it is all dreadful, being the rays of sunshine that they are, but in the context of this current climate this looks like a bit of a windfall. Can you tell me how the Mayor might be spending the unexpected amounts of money, especially --
