At Mayor's Question Time on 19 October 2016, I asked about the expected date for the launch of your database of rogue landlords, and you replied that there was a date in your briefing, which you could not immediately find (question 2016/3630). However in a letter to me dated 14 November 2016 you indicated that you cannot yet provide a definite timescale for the launch of this facility. Do you now have an expected date for the launch of this database, and why has it been delayed?
