Joanne McCartney AM: Thank you. My question is for the Commissioner, and I am going to raise the issue of the Piccadilly line signalling upgrade.

Joanne McCartney AM: I wanted to follow up and pick up on an issue you talked about earlier, Sir Edward, about the cost of hotels and staying in London, particularly with regard to families and promoting London as a family‑friendly city. Obviously, with families, costs do rack up. Can I ask what steps you are taking to maintain London’s status as a family‑friendly city? Have you seen any evidence of a change in the nature of tourists, perhaps with the costs particularly of accommodation, and a shift from families to other travellers?
