Could you just run over those with me again?

I have a question to pick up on my colleague’s point. It strikes me that this recruitment process will limit the people who can be recruited.

In 1997 you said: "Organisations such as LOTS (Living Over The Shop) claim that at least 200,000 permanent homes could be provided above shops and commercial premises in inner London alone." (Cities for a Small Planet, p 119) Why has this option been largely ignored in the Mayor's Towards the London Plan? .
