Surely one of the most dangerous things is to in any way demonise the US or its administration over environmental records, because if you look at developments over the last decade, the Americans have done a lot themselves. George Bush (US President) himself, as Governor of Texas in 1998, paved the way for one of the most successful, speediest, and most economic policies for renewables in the world.

Taking care of the environment is not just a preserve of the Left, but can we just zero in on the CCA, which is obviously a key part of your strategy to make sure that our environment is safeguarded in London.

I am interested in how you get to your calculation of the £2-2.5 million cost. How is that based?

The figures I have seen suggest that it could be up to £70 on Stamp Duty alone.

The effect of the Stamp Duty changes is allegedly going to be revenue neutral, and one of the key things that has changed is, of course, the end of exemptions for areas of deprivation.
