Bu the LDA land, obviously one would expect, is part of their forward planning for a whole range of activities, including housing, but just that TfL one - the 9,600 square metre site - there's enough space there for over 100 households. So, that's why it's important that they're managing their property effectively. And you are intervening to ensure they're meeting your wider policy goals.

The concern is that they will be coming at it, because they're the transport authority, from the point of view of transport issues, rather than housing issues. And one of the cases for the strategic regional tier is so that one can bring the various functions together, and start saying, "You need to be worrying about housing issues". Now, my suspicion is that they're not worrying about the housing issues, they're simply waiting and seeing, in relation to their own narrow, transport issues. The reason I asked the question about square footage was because I wasn't just interested in residential...

But 61 is good news, but the target that you set for Londoners in your fuel poverty proposals is only 30. Do you believe that that's good enough? The Assembly scrutiny certainly recommended you should be setting a target of 60. Your own home is reaching 61. Is it good enough to expect Londoners to put up with 30?

You rightly say that it relies on a lot of partnership working, but I think there is a temptation for you to shift the responsibility somewhat. In your election manifesto, you said you would take a personal lead in ensuring delivery and effective programme of home insulation and other measures to end fuel poverty and the scandal of winter deaths from cold. Do you believe that the work you've done so far equates to taking a personal lead in that way?

How much is that costing?

One of the great attractions in this building is the Piper model, because people like to look and see, find their own homes and buildings they know. There's an equivalent in this area, and that's aerial photographs, which show where energy is leaking and people can identify their own homes on those photographs. Would you look at putting on some exhibitions of those photographs in this building? I think not just to check up on your own home, incidentally, but I think that it would be very attractive, and it brings the message home in a very personal way.

: I just wanted to clarify that, because that would be an Evening Standard story tomorrow. The real nub of the question is adding to the work that is being built on with the Energy Partnership, would you now support a right to fuel, which is being talked about in many circles, with respect to providing a proper floor, so that people do not fall into fuel poverty. Because it isn't just poverty that's an issue, it's blue rinse poverty people who otherwise could be quite well off, but are not adding access to energy savings.

Going on to the other point, just to clarify, you are actually paying for the energy work that's going on in your home.

Yes.

It's not just the issue of trusting totally, not wishing to particularly intrude on private grief, but I had assumed that Victor Anderson would have been up to scratch with the Mayor's fuel poverty programme. Does this mean that there's a rift?
