I do not need to do the research but what we are saying is you have said to us that during your Budget calculations you have done all these calculations and you have it on a spreadsheet. All we want is that spreadsheet please. When can we have it?

Everyone would welcome that. However, your track record on the provision of affordable housing has lamentably fallen short of your 50% target; in fact last year the percentage of affordable housing that you actually achieved was only 34%. You have had a 50% target in your London Plan more or less from day one. You have been a signal failure at achieving that. What makes you think you are going to achieve it here?

In doing so, by increasing densities, you are changing the entire character of outer London. It is you who took the view, until the election loomed, that back gardens were brown land development sites and it is you who has encouraged boroughs to build on back land and infill sites. Although Boris [Johnson] may think that Paris has a jolly nice environment I can assure you that outer London, particularly Richmond, Kingston and Hounslow, has an infinitely better environment than the suburbs of Paris.

Mr Mayor, could we come back to the central issue which is of course the Olympic site and the affordable housing that you are going to insist on for that site and equally look at the land sales issue, which I think is central to this. At Mayor's Question Time on 30 January and then on 13 February you committed to me and the Assembly to provide the spreadsheet that details your calculations as to how you will realise £3.2 billion worth of sales. You still have not provided it. Why not?

Mayor, do you think in light of the total hostility to the London 2012 Games that Tony Arbour and his Group have had ever since the announcement of the Games coming to London that they have totally lost the plot and that what they failed time and time again to understand is the benefits that are going to come out of the Olympic sites, one of them being the homes for local people? Is it a case that they have no idea about the situation in east London and that is why they continue to ask these ridiculous questions?

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?

• Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
• Meeting date: 20 February 2008

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?
