In the Mayor's 2008 election Manifesto you promised to create a 'network of Community Land Trusts' across the capital to provide low-cost housing for lower-paid Londoners. Yet well into the fourth year of this Mayoral term, not a single CLT has been set to work building new homes. What efforts have you made to ensure that CLTs can take control of sites for development in London and what plans are in place to ensure work begins before is mandate ends in 2012?

You promised to produce a pan-London mobility scheme for social housing tenants to help reduce shortages in the spring of 2011. Consultation ended on January 17. But we have no scheme, just the Mayor's "high-level principles for a scheme". Where is the scheme?

According to evidence before the London Assembly's Planning and Housing Committee (implications of the affordable rent model in London, July 2011) the number of affordable new homes in London will fall from just over 50,000 in the 4 years to 2012 to just over 11,400 in the 3 years to 2015. What is the cause of this dramatic fall, what are the likely implications of this shortfall and what efforts he is making to address it?

In regard to the Mayor's recently published London Plan the planning inspector who assessed it found that London needs between 34,900 to 37,400 new homes a year to meet anticipated demand. Why then does the Plan call for just 32,210 new homes per year and why does the Mayor say that under this Plan "there are enough homes" for Londoners?

I have received an email from the English Community Care Association, who is concerned that the extension of affordable housing principles to residential care homes (as outlined in paragraph 3.51 of your new London Plan) will result in 'very little new provision ... (and) will also stop older facilities being replaced by new provision'. Could you explain whether you agree with this assessment or not?
