Murad Qureshi AM: Following on from Tony [Arbour AM], sometimes in central London it feels like tourists have taken over the world. I am pretty keen to see tourists - and I think a lot of residents of central London are - spread around outer London. Are you really doing enough on that front?

Is that correct?
