So I just wanted to start by concentrating on the narrow but important point of the non-accredited media and your arrangements around that, and I am sure the Members will widen it from there.

Do you not agree that the Mayor's projections for growth are based on trends and fail to address the risk to Londoners' quality of life? He encourages high-density developments on already cramped built up areas which will alter the character of communities throughout the capital.

With the Mayor's insistence that 1 in 3 homes should be for social housing, do you agree that he is rejecting the aspirations of people of all income levels to own their own homes, and that middle income households will lose out in a London divided between people in higher priced homes and those who qualify for subsidised housing? .
