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...

Len Duvall AM: Thank you. Given the Government is floundering on a whole number of issues, including transport, it has sort of lost control of the agenda for change in some ways. Therefore, I go back to the growth agenda if we go back to a question that my colleague earlier answered about suburban rail and the expansion. Is it not about time we brought back on the original proposal that TfL co-ordinates London and the South east that enjoyed - enjoyed - cross-party support and from officials but was stopped because of an ideological reason from the DfT by...

Len Duvall AM: Thank you, Chair. If we can go back to the evidence base for this revision; in September 2021 - and this is to the Mayor - the WHO produced an updated quality guidance. What impact have these issues, of the updated guidance, had on your decision to revise the Strategy?

Len Duvall AM: Thank you very much, Chair. In your policies, you have brought about a reduction of PM 2.5 - so those living within the central ULEZ zone. Have similar benefits been experienced as a result of the expanded ULEZ?

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?
