Political Editor, BBC London
Sadiq Khan has clashed with the Conservative Party's London mayoral candidate over the Ultra Low Emission Zone at mayor's question time.Mr Khan said he "didn't recognise" the figure.Ms Hall accused the mayor of imposing an "unfair" charge on individuals and businesses.Mr Khan said it was not fair that children had stunted lungs, adults had health problems and that many of the poorest Londoners did not have a car.
"I want to be quite clear. A pay-per-mile scheme is not on the table and not on my agenda… it's not on the radar," said Mr KhanBut changes that would streamline current charges were possible, he admitted. "[We may] simplify the congestion charge, the Ulez, the Lez and the toll on the Silvertown Tunnel. If there's a way of simplifying that, it's certainly not something I would be averse to."
A TfL spokesman declined to say how much the expanded Ulez had raised, saying: "As with previous schemes we will publish a monitoring report on the first few weeks of operation. We expect this to be ready in the autumn."
