Following the bomb scare at schools across West London, I'm sure the Mayor will join me in thanking the Metropolitan Police for their quick work in investigating the incident.

Of the total diagnoses, 2,915 happened in London, with wide disparities in diagnostic rates by 100,000 people within Boroughs.
