In answer to my question 2018/0391 asking whether you had undertaken any specific assessments or audits of London's exhibition space as part of the evidence base for your draft Economic Development Strategy and draft new London Plan, you told me that none had been undertaken as the data available was limited. Since then, as part of your draft London Plan consultation, the Association of Exhibition Organisers (AEO) provided you with their assessment of the significant economic value of this sector. Will you reflect this assessment in your new London Plan and economic development policies?
