    • Question by: Tony Devenish
    • Meeting date: 15 March 2024
    Thank you for your response to question 2024/0819. The question was not concerned with your manifesto, however, but with the Tweet you sent on 24 November 2015 in which you stated ‘I'll plant 2m trees in London in my first term as Mayor - with a focus around our schools’, with a link to a Guardian article which carried the headline ‘Sadiq Khan promises to plant 2m trees in London if elected mayor’. Was this Tweet incorrect?

    Putting your 2016 manifesto aside, was the Tweet you sent on 24 November 2015 in which you stated ‘I'll plant 2m trees in London in my first term as Mayor - with a focus around our schools’ incorrect? Would you like to take the opportunity to retract the Tweet?

    Given your suggestion that we should look to your manifesto for your promises on tree planting, and not your Twitter account, do you accept the Tweet you sent on 24 November 2015 in which you stated ‘I'll plant 2m trees in London in my first term as Mayor - with a focus around our schools’ could be misleading and should be retracted?

    If Londoners had not seen your 2016 manifesto, do you think they would be under the impression that you intended to plant 2 million trees based on a Tweet you sent on 24 November 2015 stating ‘I’ll plant 2m trees in London in my first term as Mayor’?
