London week ahead: spotlight on the mayor

Mayor's Question Time ( Wednesday ) will be the City Hall highlight, with Boris Johnson to be probed by possible Liberal Democrat mayoral candidate Mike Tuffrey about his plans for the autumn's electorally crucial fares package, and by others about unlicensed taxis, speed limits and home-building. If someone doesn't work in a line about phone-hacking, the Met and News International, I'll be quite surprised. On Tuesday the environment committee and guests will discuss the Mayor's electric vehicle delivery plan. On Thursday the transport committee will continue its investigation of the High Speed 2 proposals. The health and public services committee meets after MQT on Wednesday. I'll be covering at least some of these rich and varied goings-on - all will be webcast , by the way - along with the cuts to London's safer neighbourhood policing teams, plans for the Olympic Park and the mood of the cab trade.
