Andrew Dismore AM: I wanted to come to the issue of land banking. The previous Mayor stated: “To constrict supply to push up prices by land banking is plainly against the economic interests of this city.” Sadiq [Khan, Mayor of London] said in the manifesto: “Exercise use-it-or-lose-it powers to make sure developers who have planning permission build homes and do not land bank.” There seems to be a degree of consensus about the issue.

I do not understand, for example, why in section 28 your arrangements for the police are redacted. Presumably, that is something that we can get from the police anyway. If you look at this document, page after page after page is...
