Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Lovely, thank you. Baroness Casey’s interim report found much wrong in the MPS, and in particular, systems and behaviours that are racist and sexist. I want to start with you, Sir Mark, because I put this to the Mayor the other week. The report gave an example of one borough team where 37% of female employees had experienced unwanted sexual advances or touching in the last six months. What are you going to do to tackle this disgusting behaviour?

Neil Garratt AM: I would like to reprise a question about fraud that I asked you at the Police and Crime Committee, I think on 2 October 2022. I was quite pleased with your answer about working with the National Crime Agency (NCA) and taking a new approach, Commissioner, and obviously since then, we have seen the big iSpoof shutdown operation. First of all, I wanted to commend you on that operation, which obviously was quite a major piece of work. Have you seen a reduction in that sort of phone-based fraud as a result of that operation?

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Thank you very much. My questions are to you, Mr Mayor. Back in July 2017, I questioned you about your draft MTS; I asked why did it not contain proposals to change the congestion charge, or to bring in road pricing to tackle congestion, and why it did not go further. I said it does not really cover the next generation of road user charging systems, and asked whether we will see that in your final strategy. Then, in September 2017, I am sure you recall, the Transport Committee wrote to you, and encouraged you to...

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...

Neil Garratt AM: He was on LBC [radio] this morning, we know what some of his engagements were. I wanted to ask about this question of convergence. A young lad who was the Mayor of Hackney at the time signed up to the Strategic Regeneration Framework, which you mentioned earlier, which talked about the true legacy of 2012 being that within 20 years the communities who host the 2012 Games will have the same social and economic chances as their neighbours across London. We spoke a bit about that earlier. I will give you an opportunity as well in a...

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Thank you very much indeed. I am going to ask my first question to the Deputy Mayor, given your contribution at the start, because section 1.4 of the original bid document promised these four great legacies: sport, community, environment and economy. I really want to try to focus on sport today. Let us look at the Olympic Stadium. The legacy for sport really centred around the Stadium itself. The bid document, if you look at it, promised conversion to a 25,000-seat multipurpose venue with athletics at its core. It will become a house of sport with...

Neil Garratt AM: Good morning. Always a pleasure to hear from the Deputy Mayor and Michelle. My question, though, is: why is the Mayor not here?
