Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: I have a specific question for Mr McGrath. Very briefly, Harvey, employment is a key for a stronger economy and you talked very much about this document and yet it does not mention anywhere the challenge of parental employment.

Thank you for that very detailed answer. I think maybe we will have to agree to disagree on the London Plan. I know it's something that Assembly members generally are very concerned about.
