Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 8 May 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Greater London Authority Bill.

Greater London Authority Bill

If a borough becomes awkward and decides that it wants to block affordable housing that the Mayor wants to introduce in it, what power will the Mayor have to make the borough comply? Will the Mayor be able to say, ““Look, you’ve got to comply with this””? Or will the borough be able to raise two fingers and tell him where to get off?
