How will you ensure that these boroughs meet their clear need for affordable housing?

You believe that the LEZ 'is a step in the right direction' to improving London's air quality. As Transport for London admits that the scheme will only deliver a 0.3% improvement in air quality across Greater London, what are your next steps to heighten the impact of the scheme and prevent the 1000 deaths that are caused by air pollution in London every year?

You have delegated all planning decisions to Ian Clements yet you have also said 'obviously I will be very involved and will be fully consulted on the decisions, but he will take the lead and help me.' Would you describe this process of consultation? Is there to be an objective and transparent hierarchy as to which planning decisions you will be 'very involved' in - on the basis of size for example - and will you publish this? Or, will your involvement in planning decisions be determined on an ad hoc basis?
