The Assembly has over the last 7 years regularly drawn to your attention the poor arrangements that exist with regard to the distribution of the Londoner.

Lambeth, Ealing, Hackney and Haringey show the percentage of those on income support in the borough taking up the scheme is between 11.1% and 12.5% but Havering, Bexley, Bromley and Kingston only achieve between 6.2% and 4.3 %. What do you think accounts for this wide range of take up of the scheme across London boroughs and how do you intend to increase take up in those outer London Boroughs where it is presently low?
