Stephen Knight AM: Eddie [Sir Edward Lister], you have just said that you do not think that these changes will lead to an increase in the number of cars in outer London. Yet we are told that it will lead to a decrease in air quality and an increase in pollution. On one hand we are being told there will be an impact in terms of providing more car parking spaces leading to more cars, but you are just telling us that it will not. Which is the formal position of the GLA on this?

I wondered if I could very quickly ask Mayor Pipe a question on the Ministerial statement yesterday on the 'bedroom tax'. It appears to me that what is being said is rather than change the actual proposals so that the categories talked about are exempt, what is being done is that the Government is asking local authorities to use discretionary payments to effectively pay that money back. Is that right? Can you explain what the process would be and, importantly, is the Government actually funding this?
