I very much welcome investment in affordable housing in the capital, but do you share my concern that some housing associations which still have a significant number of properties in the capital with dangerous cladding on are due to receive millions of pounds of investment for new affordable homes, while thousands of individuals across London remain trapped in their own affordable homes due to delays and complications in obtaining an EWS1 form and/or having the necessary remediation works completed?

How are you targeting programmes and workstreams to tackle those specific types of domestic abuse where we are seeing a significant increase in cases?
