I'll only stand for two terms, says Johnson

Boris Johnson has promised not to stand for more than two terms if he is elected Mayor on 1 May.

The pledge comes amid a series of policies from the Conservative candidate aimed at making him more accountable to voters.

Mr Johnson said he would end "the culture of cronyism" at City Hall - and restore people's faith in how money is spent - by introducing rules for Mayoral advisers that ensure their interests are declared and in the open.

He also promised :

an independent review of all London Development Agency grants.

an immediate review of City Hall finances, to report initial findings within the first 100 days.

to enable Londoners to 'Google' all GLA grants, contracts and programmes worth over £1,000.

ensure that Londoners will not pay any more than 38p per week for the Olympics.
