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.

John, in the waste strategy there is the specific proposal to establish a capital standard initiative to promote basically the very laudable aim of raising the standards of our street environment. How are things proceeding on that? We were supposed to have a high-profile initiative launched before the end of 2001. When will we actually see something?

You've referred to the problems with this initiative. Without talking your way through the entire history again, John, which I'm sure you don't want to go through, can you say what you would have done differently if you were doing this again? And exactly how is it that an initiative that was supposed to be launched about now has only just been agreed by the ALG? What went wrong and what would you have done differently?
