A few weeks ago Venessa Feltz interviewed all the main hopefuls
seeking to be adopted by their party as the candidate for Mayor.
The interviews were spread over several weeks. All the candidates
said that housing was their number one priority and that they would
use public land held by TfL. Not one of them had anything more specific
to offer and certainly neither the Labour nor Tory candidate quantified
their housing ambition.

As I agree that housing is by far the biggest problem facing London,
I'd like to know how many homes could be built on TfL-owned land.

That's the only land directly under mayoral control, but there's plenty of
other brownfield land.

Well, there's GLA Land and Property (inc. ex LDA land, and London HCA
land), plus MPS and LFEPA land.

Is all of that under mayoral control? For example, is the MPS purely under
the mayor's control?
