Could the Mayor please share with us his conclusions now that the 30 day consultation process on the PPP contracts is near completion.

So if PPP does go ahead, would you reckon that you would be advising people to buy shares in the companies that are going to be operating the contract?

We have just been devising a new slogan for our borough election campaign and we thought `New Labour, Old Trains' might go down quite well. The great thing is, we could still be running that in 20 years time and it might still be working. Thank you for your initial remarks on the letter I sent to you, for those details you have supplied already, and I look forward to the full answer when you eventually have time to provide me with it. I have some more news which I thought to share with you, from the Piccadilly Line, the...

Stephen Byers has said himself that it's really the lack of any alternative proposal that has led him to press on with PPP, and I think the Treasury has also said that there is no alternative funding that they can think of. So why do you think that they have completely refused to even consider the alternative proposals put forward by TfL?

Who actually do you think is really driving these negotiations and contracts? Is it Stephen Byers or is it Treasury? Who do you really think is fundamentally driving this?

If I can draw your attention to another good example in my neck of the woods: it's the 272 route which London Buses have announced is going to be a new service going down two roads right in the far western corner of my constituency, Emlyn and Larden Roads. Now, the vast majority of residents are completely opposed to having a bus down that road. They point out that nearby Askew Road is a much more appropriate road for the bus to use. I am even more concerned because, having raised this issue with TfL, I got a response back...

Can we first of all just turn to the question of the underspend on this year's budget? I wonder, where are we on that at the moment? I know that it was £63 million when the official figures were last given to us. Can you tell us where we are now on that? .

You've obviously done some sums here because you've been rehearsing them here this morning, so what provision have you actually made? As I understand it, there's an anticipation that the Tube may come to TfL in September this year?

I'm just wondering whether it's an entirely responsible line to take? They definitely aren't going to make any provision at all and yet Londoners have all wanted TfL to take control of the Tube and you're saying you're not making any provisions for the expenses that might come your way? I find that extraordinary.
