My apologies for not having been in at the beginning of the conversation, Neale; I was actually in the Thames Gateway meeting some residents in Bexley earlier on.

There is a very strong head of steam growing amongst business in South London worried about the Mayor's Draft Plan. Businesses in South London are concerned that the London Plan seems to indicate that an unbalanced approach is being taken over land use. They are very concerned that too much land will be used for housing, leaving little space available for expansion of the business sector. What advice can you give to the Mayor to offset this concern ? .
