The Mayor said he wouldtake a tougher stance on minor crime and enforce bylaws on misdemeanours such as spitting and riding bikes on pavements.

He claimed the measures would be made possible by the extra 10,000 police he had already put on the streets of London along with a promised further 1,000.

Mr Livingstone said: "I want the sort of zero-tolerance policy that [Rudy] Giuliani had in New York. You start arresting people for dropping litter, for spitting for riding their bike [on the pavement]. You enforce all the small laws."

It follows the announcement of a tougher stance on young people abusing their travel cards. He said: "In my day we were instilled with a sense of guilt so we knew when we did something wrong. That is very rare now. Everyone needs to take responsibility."

Speaking to the Evening Standard election panel, Mr Livingstone admitted the need for greater transparency at City Hall, saying his "senior appointees" would have to register outside interests.
