Lord Bailey of Paddington AM: It needs to be said, Mr Mayor. Do you think it is correct that so many assertions are made, and people put words in our mouths? We are at Mayor’s Question Time. We are here to ask you questions. You do your best to answer the questions. But it just does not strike me as fair that other Members put words in our mouths. I am sure people watching this would hope that you would represent yourself correctly and also allow us to represent ourselves correctly.

The Mayor first announced in February that he had received £126 million from the Government’s Local Authority Housing Fund to provide homes for refugees and that this funding would be used to provide 600 affordable homes, mainly for Ukrainian and Afghans fleeing conflict. How many of these homes have been provided so far?

Lord Bailey of Paddington AM: Thank you, Chair. This is for Enver. Earlier on in the conversation, Enver, we talked about asylum seekers’ rights to work and the length of time and people wanted to have it shortened. You said for a length of time, but you did not give a length of time. What to you, would be workable, ideal, something around that region?
