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...

Susan Hall AM: Good morning, Mr Lord. At the moment, the ULEZ expansion Judicial Review has been heard, but we are still waiting for the judge’s judgment. How prepared is TfL for all the eventualities?

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...

Susan Hall AM: Thank you, Chairman. Mr Mayor, this revision to the MTS is being regarded by the public as a vote on ULEZ - whether that is correct or not, that is the perception of Londoners. Given that, and given the fact that we have all been elected to represent Londoners in our various places, we should be listening to what Londoners are saying. Therefore, I do not understand why you will not let us know what the Londoners think in your consultation before you even brought this here. It is no good you sitting there saying that this...

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. Of those, the ONS says that about a quarter own cars and...

Susan Hall AM: Good morning, gentlemen. Mr Mayor, do you agree with Lisa Nandy [MP] when she says she supports the rail strikes?

Susan Hall AM: Good morning, gentlemen. I am very quick to criticise - and I am sure the Mayor will confirm that - but I really must state publicly a thank you to Andy Byford. We had an email exchange recently on a Friday night, which meant that a problem was resolved and residents in Northwood were very grateful. Way beyond the call of duty. Thank you very much for that. Mr Mayor, your independent review of TfL claimed that the pension scheme is outdated and must be reformed, and stated that its costs could be reduced by up to...

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?
