Jenny Jones AM: On this substantive issue, I am very concerned that you are actually releasing too much industrial land because the vacancy rate on industrial land has actually halved in the past 15 years and is now lower than retail vacancies. I am concerned that you are talking about surplus land when, actually, it is not surplus because small businesses still need to be near centres of population and they still need to be near town centres. I just wonder how much research you have done on this.

Darren Johnson AM: I hear what you say about Wormwood Scrubs and the issue of permeability. I do not at all doubt the need to improve permeability. However, surely, this type of thing can be done through sensible negotiations between boroughs. You do not need to include it in the MDC to ensure pathways and gates to public open space, do you?

Jenny Jones AM: I have not been convinced by these arguments about keeping Wormwood Scrubs open space inside the MDC. The council that currently has it in their borough is against it. The Friends of the Open Space are against it. It looks like a mayoral land grab. It does not look like a coherent plan. Sir Edward Lister (Mayor's Chief of Staff): If I may, it is a coherent plan, but they do not agree with it. Jenny Jones AM: Do you not think you should be interested in localism: that decisions for local people for local land should...

At which meeting (including date) was the decision taken not to go ahead in 2010 with the safety improvements at Bow Roundabout recommended in the Jacobs report, and what part did your transport adviser at that date play in the decision making process?

Can you understand Londoners' frustrations? People expect you to take time off as Mayor, but when there are so many problems on the Tube that commuters face and they see you off on promotional book tours in the United States and so on, can you understand Londoners' frustration with you?

I have a question to the Mayor. Had you perhaps underestimated how difficult it would be running the Tube network?

No, I am concerned about the Bow Roundabout aspect. I know about the Newham problem and it is a problem. The reason I keep asking these questions - and I have had endless questions to you and lots of Freedom of Information requests of TfL - is because these decisions, especially when they result in the deaths of road users, in this instance two deaths in just over a month of cyclists, these decisions have to be accountable. They have to be transparent.

Thank you very much for that. We will pick that answer over later. Thank you. The thing is I have a list here of lots and lots of meetings that happened between your advisor and officers and other meetings as well, but we still cannot see where exactly the recommendations in the Jacobs Report were rejected because the recommendations in the Jacobs Report were for a much safer system for cyclists. So at some point you are suggesting that your TfL director of surface whatever was the person who rejected that Jacobs Report and decided to go with the less...
