Can I assume this will be a high priority for you under the new powers?

You are working with the local authorities. Do we need a new approach to this? Something that happened in my Ward before I was elected was that they renewed a whole street. This is one way forward. You get streets, or even more small areas to work together and make it happen.

You mentioned that the energy companies will not be making money out of insulation and that is quite true. They still have statutory responsibilities on energy efficiency measures. They seem to be doing it better in other parts of the country than London. That certainly is something you could talk to them about and make sure they improve their performance here in London.

You said, `Given the limited resources'. Why are the resources so limited when this is an issue that is going to come up more and more in the future?

I think what you will find is they will come back and say to you the housing stock is more difficult to deal with in London because it is blocks of flats. I think it is probably best to do it universally in the blocks.

That is probably perfectly true. What about the Climate Change Agency though? Could they not perhaps also take this up in some way?

Thank you. I do hope this fuel poverty issue is going to be quite high up your budget in the next round. Apparently, according to official figures, that number of households has doubled since 2003, and the situation is getting much, much worse. I am glad you are coming out with your London-wide fuel poverty programme. What about the London Climate Change Agency? There is a lot that they could be doing. Are they going to move this issue up their area of concern?

Good, because the proposed alterations to the London Plan propose only a one per cent reduction year on year all the way up to 2025. You signed up to the campaign saying the Government should be setting a three per cent reduction target. So you are going to review the information from Stern and hopefully come back with some more ambitious targets for the London Plan then?

Finally, one of the things that was desperately called for by all the operators, or potential operators, was to actually prioritise the rollout of the Oyster pay'as-you-go scheme on some of these services. They thought that that would make an enormous difference to their easy access.

The other area of complaint in the report was publicity and what have you. Now, given the objections we hear annually to the amounts of money spent on publicising much of the transport initiatives, again, can we expect to see Tory support for that, particularly now in West London, where Angie is a prospective parliament candidate?
