Hackney, Haringey, Lambeth and Lewisham have been in the top ten employment blackspots in Britain for five of the last seven years. Their councils are now faced with average local government funding cuts of 10.5%. What effects do you believe this will have on crime and social deprivation in these boroughs?

Given your 'strategic insight in to and influence over' a promotional agency initially funded by taxpayers, why have you sought to absolve yourself of responsibility towards the 'dumped' pensions of 198 people who delivered an important service for London in good faith.

The 'moral hazard' provisions of the Pensions Act 2004 were designed to reduce the risk of employers 'dumping' their pension liabilities on the Pension Protection Fund. Are you confident that the board of London & Partners has not transgressed these provisions?
