Thank you for your response to my question 2017/4350. Do you agree that the lost property service within Transport for London (TfL) should be expanded to support Londoners who lose valuable items outside the public transport system, or who find lost items and wish to return them to their owners?

Thank you for your answers to my questions 2016/4590 and 2016/4589 on the monitoring of affordable home rent compliance under your funding programme. Does the annual compliance audit also look at the rate of 'staircasing' of shared ownership homes from the initial share to full ownership? Does your team investigate in cases where affordable homes are staircased to 100 per cent ownership (and thus to market housing) in an unfeasibly short amount of time?

If these are already published, please provide a link.

Thank you for your response to my question 2016/4145. In your draft London Plan (section 4.17.7) affordable student rent is defined as "a rental cost for the academic year equal to or below 55 per cent of the maximum income that a new full-time student studying in London and living away from home could receive from the Government's maintenance loan for living costs for that academic year." Why is this proportion of income so much higher than the definition of London Living Rent, which is "based on a third of average local household incomes"?

Thank you for your responses to my questions 2017/4307 and 2017/3971.

In particular, what will you do to support sectors that find it more difficult to implement these schemes in London?
