Does the Mayor share the concerns of former Assembly Member, Brian Coleman about the outsourcing programme being pursued by the London Borough of Barnet which, in my opinion, has no mandate, given as I believe no mention of it was made during the Local Council elections and for which there has been no consent from the electorate, given consultation has not taken place and little information has been provided to residents over such a radical privatisation programme? Are you concerned about the wider implications for Londoners should other local authorities choose to go down a similar route?
