Last week it was announced that the Office for Tenants and Social Landlords, otherwise known as Tenant Services Authority (TSA), was to be devolved and no longer a public body. I am just wondering in the context of housing devolution in London where all these regulatory powers will be going.

You talked about levers and about your optimism about new flexibility and new innovative ways of delivering housing in the future. I have seen somewhere that tax incremental financing (TIF) is at last being considered. Could you shed any light on this?

I think we all appreciate the constraints of the SRB project and look forward to the new unveiling of the 'single pot'. What representations have you been making to Government? Because this is £10 million that Londoners will not get spent on them, as you say, unless you can come to a deal with Government. Is there any prospect of that and what discussions are you having?
