  • Mayor's manifesto commitments (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 07 December 2016
    Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: I would like to question you about a specific part of the Mayor’s manifesto that stated that the Mayor would “make sure Londoners get a fair deal from developers”. Profits of large building firms have exploded by more than 500% in the last six years and many local authorities simply have not been able to negotiate enough affordable housing with developers over recent years.

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    Can I go back to the sustainability announcement that was alluded to earlier and is presumably what you were just referring to, Seb. What is that?

Then in terms of the scope of it, you have said it was kind of biodiversity and so forth, but is it sustainability in an economic, social and environmental sense or is it essentially still environmental-related commitments?
