Two years ago when I asked you (2013/0859) where you expected London's overall household recycling rate to be in 2015, you said "I want London to achieve a 45 per cent municipal waste recycling rate as forecasted in my municipal waste management strategy". Last year I repeated this question (2014/5032) and you said "I still want London to reach my 45% recycling target in 2015/16". What is your response to the latest annual recycling figures published by DEFRA which revealed that London only managed to recycle 33.1% of household waste in 2014/15?
