		<description><![CDATA[Boris Johnson will answer questions from the London Assembly this Wednesday (17th March 2010) when he appears before it for this month's Mayor's Question Time. Following the Mayor's election rhetoric against cuts to London Underground ticket offices and TfL's recent announcement of cuts to their opening hours, Labour's Navin Shah will be asking if the Mayor is "intending to defend local ticket offices in Tube stations from closure by yourself?"

		<description><![CDATA[The leader of Medway Council has written to Mayor of London Boris Johnson demanding "clarity" over the Mayor's backing for an airport in the Thames Estuary. Last week the Mayor told BBC One's Question Time  “I don’t want to build an estuary in the, er, an airport in the Thames Estuary”, a position later ‘clarified’ by City Hall which insisted the Mayor "was referring to the fact that there are no actual plans in place to build an airport" but believed "the complex and critical decisions on Britain’s aviation future require mature exploration of every possible option."
