I note that RAF Northolt is about to undergo a £45 million renovation - without local consultation - which could pave the way for it to become a fully-fledged regional commercial airport. Despite a cross party coalition of MPs, AMs and 3,000 people in West London demanding answers on the MoD's intentions at Northolt, there is still no sign that they are willing to hold a proper consultation. What representations has the Mayor made to the Secretary of State for Defence to encourage him to hold a meaningful consultation with local residents?

What net addition to the social housing stock in London should you be making each year?

Darren Johnson (Deputy Chair): Assembly Member Biggs has a point of order. John Biggs (AM): The Chair told us there was a standing order about making assertions for which there was no evidence. Now, the Mayor has at the one time made an assertion for which he has evidence that he can cut council tax. Now he has made another assertion that on fares, he can make no such commitment. There is a fundamental inconsistency, it seems to me, under standing orders. Either one can be said and the other cannot, and either the both can be said or neither...

Dee Doocey (Chair): We are now moving on to the session on the Mayoral Development Corporation (MDC). Can I start off the session by asking you, Simon, please can you explain the Mayor's proposals to create a MDC for the Olympic Park area?

Good. That will certainly start to clear things up. On the home insulation and sustainability work that you mentioned, the implementation plan for the final version of the Climate Change and Energy Strategy in May 2011, will this take account of the new settlement as it is, rather than simply the projected wish list that you were working to previously?

Sir Simon, it is the job of the Labour Party to say it is all dreadful, being the rays of sunshine that they are, but in the context of this current climate this looks like a bit of a windfall. Can you tell me how the Mayor might be spending the unexpected amounts of money, especially --

Do you expect those strands to be fully funded as originally envisaged or will there have to be some cutbacks?

Yes, Chair. I am impressed the Mayor has created another functional body: Bacon for London! I have three areas of questioning - very briefly. The first is you are trying to clutch some sort of victory out of the jaws of defeat, I would suggest. The Government effectively abolished both the budgets and the entities of the Regional Development Agencies (RDAs) last year, while accepting that City Hall is going to have some economic regeneration capacity. I pay tribute to you personally because I know you have been scrambling in the background to try to persuade it that it made...
