Tony Devenish AM: Thank you, Chair. Good morning, panel, and good morning, Deputy Mayor. I think that was the best excuse I have heard for the Mayor not turning up yet. We get one every time. There is one thing that has not been mentioned so far this morning. As somebody who has spent most of my career in infrastructure, it is the vision thing. You are going into the begging bowl at the end, Deputy Mayor, but before you have a begging bowl you actually need a vision. Both of the first two Mayors really - and I do...

Léonie Cooper AM: Thanks very much. I wanted to ask Sir John Armitt a question and, if we could be brief, that would be really helpful. It is nothing to do with fluffy projects.

Léonie Cooper AM: Thank you very much, Chair. My question is addressed to Councillor Georgia Gould and it concerns disproportionality in the economic recovery. I wondered if you could outline for us how you are working with the Mayor to guarantee that London’s economic recovery is fair and open for all Londoners, especially those who have been really disproportionately impacted by COVID?
