I note that the Mayor launched his inquiry into foreign ownership of London housing in September 2016, with much press coverage. However, I note that the report was subsequently published without a press release being issued and may be found buried deep in the GLA website, within the meeting papers for the Homes for Londoners Board which took place on 13 June. Given the fanfare with which this initiative was launched, why is that so?

Sanctuary is one of the UK's biggest housing organisations, with a portfolio of 100,000 homes. At its Artizan Court development in Wood Green, completed in 2014, residents claim that security issues, poor-quality building work and issues around leaks, damp and mould have been compounded by Sanctuary's tardy and often misleading responses to resident's complaints. Given that the GLA contributed £1.9m of tax-payers' money to assist in the construction of this development, can the Mayor tell me what is being done by Sanctuary (or indeed, other parties) to address these ongoing issues.

I was intrigued to read the article in the Evening Standard on 22 June 2017 by Baron Rogers of Riverside, extolling the virtues of the Garden Bridge and explaining that: 'Thomas Heatherwick's Garden Bridge would be a crowning glory for the rediscovery and reinvention of London's river.' However, I had previously been under the impression that this misconceived and incredibly expensive vanity project had been abandoned by City Hall. Could you please confirm that this is indeed the case?

To ask the Mayor why only 64 per cent of domestic abuse prosecutions led to a conviction in the capital in 2015/16, compared with 74 per cent in the South-East and 80 per cent in Merseyside and Cheshire. Is it not time for the Metropolitan Police to overhaul the manner in which it approaches this crime and up its game.
