Yes, thank you, Chair. My questions of concern are about sexual harassment on London transport and they are to the Commissioner. Peter, I am just looking for four yeses here, so I hope we can agree. Can I just start by saying, I know that you will agree with me, that sexual harassment on London's transport system has been a matter of concern. I say that because I have been working with your officers on this matter since 2009. Can you confirm that TfL remains committed to a zero tolerance approach and that TfL has a duty to ensure that...

Boris, there is some work going on on the District line at the moment to improve the service, which we are all very pleased about. This I think is really a question for the Commissioner. The work that is going on at the depot in Upminster is proving to be more disruptive to neighbours than they were told it would be, with noise and working for longer hours than they were told would take place, and I think what can fairly be described as an unhelpful attitude from some of the staff in the depot when the neighbours go around...

Assembly Member Jones, no. Sorry, Mr Mayor. You gave a detailed answer to the first question, which was great. You have had now enough time on this, so I want to move on. I just want to find the Standing Order that gives us the gap for the Commissioner who seemed to want to make a statement to come in. There is no Standing Order except that apparently I can make a ruling, so can I just ask the Commissioner if he just wanted to make a statement? He was giving an indication that he wanted to make a statement...

Ok, I am grateful for that. I take it from your reply that the review will look at whether there are other lessons about the way we respond to anxieties without accident records. I share many of Jenny's [Jones] concerns, although I think we need to be cool and calm about this. If people are to blame, then they need to be held to account for that. But we need to see what happens as the inquiries are concluded. My final bit, though: I have cautiously welcomed the changes so far on the basis that they are temporary and they...

You have just said one significant thing that I have not heard before and that is that the Commissioner himself is supportive of this line of policy. Perhaps we could have it on the record from Peter Hendy just how supportive he has because in our approaches to Government, whether it be the Prime Minister or other Cabinet Ministers, what the Commissioner for TfL might say about it would be rather important, I believe.

OK. Just finally - and this is one for Peter as well - if HS2 were to go ahead, have you explored any other options with regards to reducing congestion at Euston at all?

OK. Could you tell us, you mentioned Harrow on the Hill . There is also a question of Stanmore Station, Mr Mayor, where we have an acute problem of accessibility. Could you give me assurance that you will be making those stations accessible during the term of your office?

Would turning back the majority of gyratory systems in London to two-way operation help you achieve the targets for walking/cycling set out in your document Transport 2025?

How will you find the additional resources required to improve walking and cycling infrastructure in the face of pressures on funding arising from Crossrail and Metronet?

• Question by: Geoff Pope
• Meeting date: 05 December 2007

The collapse of Metronet and the demands of the Crossrail project threaten severe strain on TfL's finances. Do you believe that either of these challenges puts projects and/or fares at risk?
