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. We are here to ask you questions. You do your best to answer the questions. But it just does not strike me as fair that other Members put words in our mouths. I am sure people watching this would hope that you would represent yourself correctly and also allow us to represent ourselves correctly.

How many of these homes have been provided so far?
