Neil Garratt AM: Good morning. You might remember a couple of months ago you had an exchange with my colleague, Assembly Member Fortune, about the poorest Londoners owning cars in which you seemed to be incredulous that they would. Rather than have an exchange with you about that, I thought I would write to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), who very helpfully wrote to me.
