Krupesh Hirani AM: Thank you, Chair. My question is to the Mayor. You froze all TfL fares under your control for the first four years of your mayoralty and in these last three years the fares have gone up due to requirements in the Government funding deal made with the pandemic. What would you like to do with fares when you are no longer bound by any Government requirements?

Léonie Cooper AM: -- if I can bring us back to my question. Mr Mayor, you will have seen, as we have all just been seeing in our phones, that the London Ambulance Service, the police and the Fire Brigade have all been updating us on a very serious incident that has just taken place in Camp Road in Merton in my constituency where a number of children have been casualties. I understand it is not terror related. I am sure you would want to take an opportunity to send your thoughts and prayers to the parents of the children...

Krupesh Hirani AM: Thank you, Chair. This is to the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan. What health benefits have been achieved by expanding ULEZ to the North and South Circular Roads so far?

Krupesh Hirani AM: My question is to the Mayor. I recently visited Oakington Manor School in my constituency, alongside the Leader of the Council, [Councillor] Muhammed Butt, and the Cabinet Member for the Environment, Councillor Krupa Sheth, who happens to be the Ward councillor for this area as well. It was to see first-hand how the School Streets scheme is helping children to walk, cycle and scoot to the school and, frankly, cross the road safely in front of the school gate. As we still have not seen a long-term capital funding deal announced by the Government for TfL, can...

Léonie Cooper AM: I would like to continue to riff on the theme of the ULEZ and I would like to start with you, Commissioner. I know that we are out to consultation at the moment, so the shape of the scheme is not fully known to us yet, but I am assuming that there are now some discussions in progress with the DfT regarding the proposal to extend into outer London. I just wonder what kind of feedback you have had from the DfT on the plans for expansion. Has it expressed any views?

Léonie Cooper AM: I would like to start with Commissioner Byford, if I might. There are quite a lot of us around this room, including me and the Mayor, who talk a lot about a green recovery. Do you think that TfL is doing enough to increase and protect diversity across the whole of its estate and its network?

Léonie Cooper AM: Thank you very much, Chair, and long live the impartiality. Mr Mayor, I just wanted to pick up a few of the threads of things that we have all been asking you this morning about transport. We seem to be in a slightly contradictory period of time where, for example, a previous Mayor handed back the £700 million budget that we used to get for operating the roads in London. My postbag - and I know others - is full and no doubt yours, too, of people saying there are potholes. At the same time, we give...

Léonie Cooper AM: Good morning, Mr Mayor. We have just been talking about the central ULEZ and some of the issues relating to it. Obviously one of the things that it has done is contributed to a 44% reduction in roadside NO2 levels, which is great. However, that is not good enough, as you have repeatedly said, and many of us agree, given the air quality problems in London. Just set out for us exactly, in advance of the 21 October expansion, what the effect of that expansion is going to be on air quality within the new expanded boundary?
