Been a while since I’ve looked at the Mayor’s Question Time Written Answers. This month’s set contain some humdingers:
Relations with central government – since coming to power Boris has met Tessa Jowell (twice), John Denham, Jack Straw, Ruth Kelly, Jacqui Smith, Lord West, Hazel Blears, Tony McNulty, Margaret Beckett and Geoff Hoon.
