Richard Tracey AM: This is a question for the Commissioner. Commissioner, I really do appreciate the direction of travel that we have been hearing about, but do you not think it would be a good idea if drivers, when they are changing over on the streets, were to shut off their engines? There are examples we have noticed in Putney High Street, in my constituency, where there are particular pollution problems and it is very unhelpful if the drivers do leave the engines running for three or four minutes while the do the changeover.

Andrew Dismore AM: The particular routes I am concerned about, Mr Mayor, are those that are going to be affected by Conservative Hertfordshire County Council’s decision to cut £390,000 from those services, on top of the £1.5 million they cut last year, which threatens a number of outer London bus routes, which criss-cross my constituency and outer London and in and out of Hertfordshire - including the 142, 292, 298, 107 and 258. These routes are all affected and are essential to outer London residents.

Valerie Shawcross CBE AM: Thank you. The Mayor has just said there would be a plan to cut £2 billion from TfL by another candidate, whose name I will not mention. I have seen media reports of £1.9 billion, which the media have been attributing to TfL. I would like to ask the Commissioner, Mr Brown, is that a figure, either the £2 billion or the £1.9 billion that TfL has come up with? Was it from a TfL source? Do you own that figure? Then I would like to ask you about the assumptions behind it.
