I wanted to react to a point that Jenny Jones (AM) made and to then ask a question because I feel very disheartened that she feels that nothing is happening, as Jenny said, on Green Grids, particularly when Darren (Johnson, AM) told me during the budgetary process that agreement with the Mayor would get things done rather than agreement with the Assembly on the budgetary process. Is Jenny right when she says that nothing is being done on Green Grid?

There is a very strong head of steam growing amongst business in South London worried about the Mayor's Draft Plan. Businesses in South London are concerned that the London Plan seems to indicate that an unbalanced approach is being taken over land use. They are very concerned that too much land will be used for housing, leaving little space available for expansion of the business sector. What advice can you give to the Mayor to offset this concern ? .

We've got the highest rate of mental illness in the entire world. And the South London Maudsley NHS Trust has been doing some very innovative work on early intervention, trying to get to people in the system, particularly young men, before their problems become too serious. Can you say something about what the GLA is doing in the field of mental health, since it does have...
