That would be helpful for the Assembly to have. The final question I wanted to ask was this: given that much of the infrastructure and demands do not stop at the Greater London boundary, what joint work has been done with, for example, Essex and Kent County Councils and the surrounding regions to see (a) what can be done to make sure that the infrastructure provision is properly aligned and (b) what economies of scale and what joint lobbying work can be done to advance the Gateway issue?

To save time here, I would be grateful if we could be sent that costing assessment, and if you also have any assessment of the costing, as you rightly say, of the social and health infrastructure, that would be helpful

A small point, returning to this question of the utilities infrastructure and whether you are in this rich mix of cooks and broths and magic wands talking to the regulators, Ofcom, Ofgem and all the other `ofs', because in the old days the utilities, the phone, gas and electricity companies would have been able to put the infrastructure in ahead of demand. Now they are working on a private model they can only put the investment in if there is a sure payback, unless the regulators tell them they have to do that. So are the regulators part of this?

Do you support the business case for the third runway at Heathrow and is that the advice that you would give the Mayor? Bearing in mind you want 35,000 new jobs in west London.
