As you will already know, Trading Standards are responsible for seizing banned skin whitening creams and prosecuting businesses selling them. However, I was concerned to read from the BBC's investigation, that it appears prosecuted shops are undeterred by these fines and are continuing to sell the illegal products. We recently saw that a shopkeeper has been jailed for selling illegal and toxic skin-lightening products which is the first custodial sentence of its kind. Will you consider raising awareness to Londoners about the dangers of these products as part of your health inequality brief and the particular impact they pose for...

Brent and Harrow have been recently shaken by tragic shooting incidents. My thoughts are with the families and friends of those that were attacked. I know that you are taking action on violent crime through the dedicated Knife Crime Strategy, Violent Crime Taskforce and Young Londoners Fund which focuses on early intervention.
