    • Question by: Tom Copley
    • Meeting date: 07 December 2016
    Tom Copley AM: Good morning, Deputy Mayor. There are many things to welcome in the affordable housing prospectus and in the housing SPG particularly if, like me, you are keen to see a return to submarket rents and particularly to social rents. I wanted to ask you first about this London affordable rent, which looks very much like a social rented product and the rent is benchmarked at the social rent. How many homes for the London affordable rent do you expect to have been built by 2021?

    • Question by: Unmesh Desai
    • Meeting date: 07 December 2016
    Unmesh Desai AM: Good morning, Deputy Mayor. I have a couple of questions to ask you about rogue landlords and landlord licensing. Would further powers from the DCLG assist the GLA and local authorities in tackling rogue landlords? Very specifically and bearing in mind the answer that the Minister gave to Assembly Member Pidgeon - I think you were sitting in the gallery and so you heard his answer - how do you see things from your side vis-à-vis the DCLG and London-wide landlord licensing?

    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 07 December 2016
    Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: I would like to question you about a specific part of the Mayor’s manifesto that stated that the Mayor would “make sure Londoners get a fair deal from developers”. Profits of large building firms have exploded by more than 500% in the last six years and many local authorities simply have not been able to negotiate enough affordable housing with developers over recent years. One of the issues is the expertise and this whole industry around viability assessments when experts work for the boroughs one day and then for developers the next. Can you explain how...

    • Question by: Leonie Cooper
    • Meeting date: 07 December 2016
    Leonie Cooper AM: Can I just say, Deputy Mayor, that it is very welcome to have you here today and preceded by the Minister? It has been a good morning talking about housing, which is such a crucial issue for our city. At the sharp end of housing is homelessness, which is the area I wanted to ask you about. Assembly Member Copley and I will be moving a motion later on this morning on homelessness because it has been very much on the increase, particularly in London. I just wondered if you had managed to have any discussions with...

    • Question by: Siân Berry
    • Meeting date: 07 December 2016
    Sian Berry AM: I would like to ask for some quick clarification on some of the details of the London Living Rent homes within your funding programme, if that is OK. This product is not quite what renters were expecting. It is very similar to the Government’s existing Rent to Buy Scheme, which is not suitable for everyone. I wanted to ask. The Government’s Rent to Buy Scheme requires a good credit rating. Can you reassure Londoners worried that their credit history might hinder their ability to apply for London Living Rent homes that they will not need to have...
