- Deferred Division: Crime (London) (23 Apr 2008) has video
Boris Johnson: I agree deeply with my hon. Friend's profound analysis of what is going wrong on London transport.

That is because...

Member for Enfield, North (Joan Ryan) is about to say, there already is CCTV on buses, but in only 5 per cent. of cases is that CCTV made available when a crime has been committed.

- Topical Debate: Policing in London (27 Mar 2008) has video
Boris Johnson: Does my hon. Friend agree that the huge majority of Londoners would listen with more interest to the words of the Labour hon.

Boris Johnson: Since the Minister asked a question, I would be delighted to enlighten him. Let me tell him that Londoners, given the choice between spending £63 million on further publicity for the Mayor of London or having 440 transport PCSOs on the buses, would rather spend £16 million, which is what I am proposing to spend, on another 440 PCSOs on the buses.

By closing post offices, we not only deprive the elderly...
