Kit Malthouse AM MP: Thanks, yes. Mr Mayor, just two subjects from me. On bicycles, I know you have been quite keen to lobby on modifications to motorcars in terms of emissions and the type of car and all the rest of it. There is quite a lot of technology available now for cars for sensors around the car: blind-spot sensors and object sensors. Airbags are now becoming more mandatory in cars, as are seatbelts. I wonder whether it would be sensible for us to lobby the Government on whether near-side sensors on cars could be specified, particularly in the...

Kit Malthouse AM: Mr Mayor, you referred to the very valuable work that is being done with the CST around security for the Jewish community, but you will also be aware that in France in particular there have been some horrific revenge attacks on the Muslim community with hand grenades thrown into mosques, shootings and all this kind of stuff. I wondered whether similar work had been done in London. I know a number of mosques have received hate mail and death threats.

Kit Malthouse AM: I wanted to ask specifically about Tooley Street. As a fellow cyclist, you will know that the road surface is appalling, the management of pedestrian crossings is terrible, there are buses, cars and lights everywhere and it is chaos.

Kit Malthouse AM: I hesitate to repeat the meeting, but it was one or two Mayor’s Question Times ago when exactly the same questions were asked by asking exactly the same question. Given this is meant to be a cross-party campaign and a national one, would you find it interesting, Mr Mayor, to know how many letters, telephone calls and meetings Assembly Member Knight has held with employers, trying to urge them to participate in the Living Wage, either in his role as a London-wide Assembly Member or as a local councillor?

Kit Malthouse AM: Obviously, Mr Mayor, a sale to a social landlord is not without consequences. Has there been any work done on how many of the current tenants would actually qualify for social rent if they were to apply now?

Kit Malthouse AM: Yes. Mr Mayor, I wanted to first of all thank you for the delicate process that is taking place around the East-West. Many of my residents are going through the consultation process at the moment. There are obviously various wrinkles that are alarming them, but we seem to be working our way through them. I wanted to ask you about the North-South at King’s Cross and what consideration you were giving to extending the Cycle Superhighway north of King’s Cross up towards Kentish Town and Belsize Park ‑‑

Kit Malthouse AM: Mr Mayor, do you think it is appropriate for the former Mayor, who has encouraged the intimidation of public officials, to remain on the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the Labour Party?

Mr Mayor, I am sure you are aware that this is a chestnut that the city has been chewing on for at least all of my political life in London, which is now, sadly, approaching 20 years, and that nobody has yet come up with a workable solution. However, are you aware that pedestrianisation has been tried in the West End before? Back when I was a councillor at Westminster, on the urging of the businesses in and around Soho to the south of Oxford Street, we put in a pedestrianisation scheme. We had rising bollards and it was closed...

I was going to ask you, Mr Mayor, how you define a journalist, but we are short of time and I will leave it there.
