Léonie Cooper AM: Thank you, Chair. Mr Mayor, I just wanted to clarify in terms of protecting and restoring nature whether or not you think some of the protections in the current London Plan are strong enough. We are just entering into a discussion about parks. Is that a designation in planning or would you say that other planning, for example, insisting on biodiversity net gain, the urban greening factor, and things like MOL, provide stronger protections than the word ‘park’?

Andrew Boff AM (Deputy Chair): Now that Labour and Reform on the Assembly are lockstep in favour of building tower blocks on parks, will you at least rule out building on London’s existing nature-filled parks?

Andrew Boff AM (Deputy Chair): Can I ask you, Mr Mayor, to read the report produced by the Conservative Group back in 2013, Shadow City, which raised many of those issues that then the Jay Report touched upon? We have been there. We have been in the room. We have been alerting London to the problems of human trafficking in London back to 2013. I would ask that you or one of your team review that report. It is 230 pages. I would appreciate that.

Marina Ahmad AM: Thank you, Chair. Good morning, Mr Mayor. Mr Mayor, earlier you talked about the victims of the child abuse that has been so public recently and I know that they will appreciate that, I am sure, and everybody around this Chamber will appreciate those comments. Relating to the exchange that has just happened, I am going to ask you whether you are surprised that so little action was taken after the Jay Review [Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse] in 2022?
