Joanne McCartney AM: Yes, thank you, Chair. My initial question is to Sam Gurney, if I can, and it is about the increasing number of people who are claiming Universal Credit (UC), which we know is a very difficult and cruel system. Since the end of March, I believe, 440,000 new claimants for UC have come from London. When furlough ends, that is likely to see another spike. What concerns does the TUC have about this record number of Londoners finding themselves reliant on UC? What will that mean for poverty in the capital?

Joanne McCartney AM: I am going to ask about bus services. Across your business plan period, there will be a reduction in bus services in inner London with the aim of increasing outer London bus services but in total a reduction in kilometres. Are you running enough buses to accommodate the needs of Londoners?

Joanne McCartney AM: This is to the Mayor but I will happily welcome Mike’s comments as well and it is about your promise on air quality. It was a major manifesto commitment and one of the ways that TfL can have a substantive impact on air quality is by cleaning up the bus fleet. Could you just tell us in brief what your plans are for cleaning up London’s bus fleet?
