Unmesh Desai AM: Good afternoon, panel. My question is to John Dickie and it is about the future of our high streets. We have already had some references in the earlier discussion to small businesses and to high streets. Jordan Cummins talked about small businesses gasping for breath. Georgia Gould talked about high streets being at the heart of recovery plans. I could not agree more. Mr Dickie, with London boroughs focused on helping localised shopping areas, what is the future for our local high streets? How can they be put at the heart of our recovery plans?

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?
