Where does that anything between 6% to 17% come into that, because this must automatically increase the value of at least a sizeable percentage of that land?

Does that mean you do support low density development then?

When? When can we have the spreadsheet, Mr Mayor?

The issue that we should really be raising with you is about the definition about affordability, because I think there is an issue here. I have a problem with the general use of affordability because clearly what is affordable to the people who support Tony Arbour ' wherever that is ' that is different to, say, members of my constituents and the people of east London. It is that that I would like some more work done on. Will you be looking to do some more detailed work about affordability so that we can link affordability with income in a...

Are you denying the Assembly this spreadsheet?

It would be good to get the answer. There are lots of really good models about cooperative housing structures. Are you influencing the plans to ensure that we have a wider mix, so it is not just the known housing associations that are already geared up to bid and go in there and take it all; that we will have a wider offer in this area?

One of the reasons, Mayor, why I think my colleagues on the left are confused ' and there are many but this is on this particular issue is, does the analysis on this spreadsheet include figures for land values where the use of the land can be changed? There are some situations over there where I remember that if the use were to be changed, the value could be increased up to five fold. Does this analysis include that figure?

You keep referring in fact to reported crime. That is reported crime and we all know and accept that reported crime is a significant understatement of actual crime for various reasons. You do not actually talk about reported crime though that is what you mean. So when you produce headlines in the current Londoner saying, 'Crime hits nine year low' it is simply not true and not the experience of Londoners who are experiencing the crime. It is a very good line but it is simply not true.

There was clearly a very considerable crime wave in your first two years, which put the figures up, so that they could remain at the plateau that they are now on! Mr Mayor, you are on record as saying that the British Crime Survey provides, 'A reliable measure of crime trends since it has a consistent methodology and is unaffected by changes in reporting or recording practices which police figures are subject to'. I am sure you have not changed your mind from that statement. I repeat, the last six years has seen no fall at all in the crime...
