Do you understand our concern, Mr Kiley, that you are living in a house rent-free that according to the Mayor's figures could be rented on the open market for £2,000 a week? Up to the end of your tenure, that would actually bring in or save the taxpayer £250,000 specifically at a time when there are 60,000 families in temporary accommodation, and doctors, nurses, care workers, etc., cannot afford to live anywhere near their place of work. Is this not taking accommodation for key workers to ridiculous heights?

The Greens have been working on pushing walking and cycling up the agenda. What would you say to Peter Hendy about the biggest change that you could make to walking and cycling? Are there any specific measures he could take to radically change the London streetscape from that point of view?

One of my concerns is that as the bus fares and Tube fares rise, we are actually going to almost force people back into their cars. That is one of the reasons I so much agreed with you about getting under-16s free on the buses; I thought that was totally inappropriate because it makes buses more crowded for other people who might want to use them. Do you think we are going to see a situation where bus fares and Tube fares mean that it actually is worth paying the Congestion Charge and using private cars again?

I have a concern, and I wonder if you share it, that obviously it is a very expensive site and so if that money is not forthcoming, what would happen if there was a suggestion that it could be sold off for commercial developers for non-transport usage? Do you think that is a possibility and if it were, what would your position be on it?

Therefore, you are not holding out any hope that I am going to see a sustainable transport unit this year.

I am not entirely happy about it being a policy unit because I think it is very important that it reaches right through the organisation but also that it is quite practically based. I am concerned about the status it has because, for me, this should have a very, very high-status, just because it has the possibility of transforming the way TfL does everything

Do you regret the decision to spend millions of pounds cleaning up the pollution from Routemaster buses now that you decided to scrap them just a couple of years later?

When Eurostar moves out of Waterloo, five long platforms are potentially freed up for South West Trains, which would potentially reduce rail congestion for commuters very considerably. However some engineering work would be vitally necessary to modify the track access to the Eurostar platforms so that commuter trains could use them. Are you in discussion with the Government and Network Rail to ensure that the necessary funding will be made available for 2007? ... I want to ask about Waterloo Station and what will happen to the five platforms that will be freed up when Eurostar moves out in 2007...
