Neil Garratt AM: Good morning, good to see you at a Plenary, Mr Mayor. A question about bus drivers and hot weather. If you listen to bus drivers, one of the issues that they bring up a lot -- not so much this week, we are enjoying a cooler July week -- but a couple of weeks ago we had a period of hot weather, which is normal for the time of year, and a huge number of complaints from bus drivers that the conditions that they were operating in in their cab was completely in excess of what is...

Neil Garratt AM: Good afternoon. Listening to the way you advocate for your policy, I can understand why quite a lot of Londoners would think that it is an obvious and straightforward thing to do. You make it sound like a no-brainer, which really makes it even more impressive that the majority of Londoners tell YouGov that they do not really support it. What I find perturbing is that the way that you advocate the policy; if it is a straightforward and obvious way forward, why is it that you have to be so dishonest and unclear with Londoners about...

Neil Garratt AM: Good morning. You might remember a couple of months ago you had an exchange with my colleague, Assembly Member Fortune, about the poorest Londoners owning cars in which you seemed to be incredulous that they would. Rather than have an exchange with you about that, I thought I would write to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), who very helpfully wrote to me. Its definition of the poorest Londoners, the lowest decile, is those earning, roughly, gross household income less than about £12,000 per year.

Andrew Boff AM (Deputy Chair): Thank you very much.

Neil Garratt AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. We are talking about the recovery, and one of the threats particularly hanging over outer London of that recovery is the Greater London boundary charge, which I know we have discussed before. The next phase in that project is the feasibility study. I believe you said in February [2021] in answer to a question from Assembly Member Bacon that we would be hearing back later in the year. That is quite a vague timeline. When can we expect to see the results of that feasibility study?
