In your recent press release announcing you will be appealing the decision of the High Court to quash your attempts to force your directions on the West London Waste Authority you state 'The Government argues that the powers the Mayor has over waste in the capital are sufficient, which this decision today shows is not the case.' Is this not a rather specious argument and that all it shows is that there are some areas where it is not appropriate for the Mayor to have his powers extended, waste being one of them?
