This is about 'bedroom tax'. I do welcome the retreat made by the Secretary of State [Iain Duncan Smith MP, Secretary of State for Work and Pensions] yesterday on three issues.

Can I direct my question to Jules Pipe. It is not often we have had a Labour Mayor in front of us in these sessions! Jules, I wanted to ask you about fuel poverty and the welfare of reforms.

Thank you very much. I am pleased to hear you say that you think the employers and the unions should negotiate because the union has been very clear and is still saying that they have not had a single meeting with any of the employers, and I think there are 20, 21, involved in this, nor have they had a meeting with TfL to negotiate.
