Lord Bailey of Paddington AM: It needs to be said, Mr Mayor. Do you think it is correct that so many assertions are made, and people put words in our mouths? We are at Mayor’s Question Time.

I am sure people watching this would hope that you would represent yourself correctly and also allow us to represent ourselves correctly.
