The question, if I can start to the Deputy Commissioner, it is regarding the English Defence League (EDL) march planned for 27 October 2012, this Saturday coming, and its impact on the borough. It is planning to march in Waltham Forest, a borough I represent, its impact on Islington, the neighbouring borough, I also represent, but the other boroughs affected are Tower Hamlets and Newham.

My question demonstrates just how pressing it is that the LDA gets its act together in terms of how it communicates with the public and to members of the Assembly. If I can just ask, George, since the terrible events of 11 September, you must have had discussions about the impact that that terrible event has had on the tourism of London, the industry of London, and then, by association, the link with the UK tourist industry. Well, this is your opportunity to come out and tell us what have you done, what discussions you have had and how are...
