Joanne McCartney AM: Thank you. My question is to Deputy Mayor Copley. I want to focus on housing if I can. You have already talked about the RHP to provide over 600 homes. If you had sufficient resources, what more could you do?

To ask the Mayor, how much in fines was handed out by the Metropolitan Police to Londoners celebrating the New Year?
