Léonie Cooper AM: Thank you. You will probably have noticed that Assembly Member Bokhari rather delightfully asked my question as it was listed, which related to the plans for swimming in the next ten years, and you have covered off some of the things that I wanted to ask about in your answer to her. I just wondered if you could talk a bit about whether or not you think the EA, which has been stripped of money and staffing, needs to be beefed up to address some of the issues that relate to the activity or indeed the inactivity...

Zack Polanski AM: Thank you very much, Chair. Congratulations on your re-election and welcome back. Just before I get into the matter on hand, I just want to say, as a Jewish Londoner and a Jewish politician, to a Muslim Londoner and a Muslim politician, thank you for your solidarity during the campaign and keeping our communities together.

Putting your 2016 manifesto aside, was the Tweet you sent on 24 November 2015 in which you stated ‘I'll plant 2m trees in London in my first term as Mayor - with a focus around our schools’ incorrect? Would you like to take the opportunity to retract the Tweet?

Given your suggestion that we should look to your manifesto for your promises on tree planting, and not your Twitter account, do you accept the Tweet you sent on 24 November 2015 in which you stated ‘I'll plant 2m trees in London in my first term as Mayor - with a focus around our schools’ could be misleading and should be retracted?

If Londoners had not seen your 2016 manifesto, do you think they would be under the impression that you intended to plant 2 million trees based on a Tweet you sent on 24 November 2015 stating ‘I’ll plant 2m trees in London in my first term as Mayor’?

Will you accept that Tweeting ‘I’ll plant 2m trees in London in my first term as Mayor’ on 24 November 2015 was a mistake?
