You state on pages 21 & 22 'This strategy focuses on the Mayor's contribution to the transition to a Low Carbon Capital, through his directly funded programmes'. Do you think this statement could be misleading London Taxpayers into thinking the Mayor himself is funding these programmes out of his own pocket?

Londoners suffered record energy costs last winter due to it being one of the coldest in the last 30 years. This winter has started much earlier with large snowfalls already recorded. Energy companies have hiked their prices for the coming winter months, can you understand why a shivering, sceptical London public, suffering huge and for many unaffordable energy costs don't believe in the unproven theory that the ruling political class are adamant is happening, namely global warming?

The 2009 climate change act imposed huge extra energy costs on consumers, energy companies have announced a further 7% increase in costs from December 2010. You are spending £ millions more London taxpayers money on the unproven theory that is 'man made climate change'. With some elderly dying through cold in London due to unaffordable energy costs, do you feel complicit in this scandalous misery imposed on vulnerable Londoners?

We have been both surprised and alarmed at the response to no less than three FOI requests to the Metropolitan Police. Each case was a violent incident, and the FOI request was for police to issue a description of the attackers: the response stated that "to issue a description of the perpetrators would not be in the public interest". This reasoning defies logic - how can it be in the public interest not to disclose details of a person or a gang perpetrating violence? How can the Met be protecting the public by leaving residents of a given area at...

In your answer to MQ 3089/2010 You also state halal meat is a 'cultural preference' and is actually requested by the GLA. Is the Mayor concerned that this cultural preference may offend a considerable number of people who regard halal slaughter, in any form, as objectionable, and entirely out of kilter with UK standards of food production?

There was a welcome reduction in crime between 2009/10 and the previous year! However, there were still 39,512 incidents on busses and Docklands Light Railway during 2009/10, representing 108.25 incidents per day! Do you agree this is still an incredibly high level of crime for the travelling public to endure and hinders London's various economic boosters such as tourism? Will future spending cuts impact your ability to target crime reduction on the transport network?

At a time of spending reviews and cuts in public exspenditure, how do you justify spending £1,000,000 of London taxpayers money on the Black Cultural Archives (BCA) in Brixton? The £1,000,000 of funding to the Black Cultural Archives (BCA) in Brixton has helped the derelict grade II listed Raleigh Hall, how many other listed buildings have you assisted / saved with GLA funding since your election? Why have you seen it fit to spend London Taxpayer's money on celebrating African Independence? Surely African Independence is a matter for the countries themselves and London Taxpayer money should be utilised to celebrate...
