:04:00. > :04:03.London it is not just about devolving to the mayor. It has to go

:10:49. > :10:52.authorities cannot borrow to build. It is all done from the Treasury.
:10:53. > :10:55.That has to change and waking up to this vote in Scotland means that
:10:56. > :11:02.that change is now possible and I think imminent. More powers for the
:11:03. > :11:05.mayor. Is that the way forw`rd? No, I think more powers for the Greater
:11:06. > :11:09.London Authority. The mayor has too many powers at the moment and we

:11:42. > :11:44.be able to say, well, actually, we want to be able to give planning
:11:45. > :11:46.powers for local authorities to address those issues. It can't just
:11:47. > :11:50.be about money. All three party be about money. All three p`rty
:11:51. > :11:54.leaders, all three parties have made very bold statements over the past
:11:55. > :11:59.few days in order to win a no vote from the Scots. We, at the regional
:12:00. > :12:03.government level and local governor level, will be making sure they
:12:04. > :12:05.stick to those words. The Treasury is not going to let go of the tax
:12:06. > :12:11.cash it gets from London, is it? It cash it gets from London, is it? It
:12:12. > :12:14.has got to. If you look at Tokyo, they raised 70% from tax. New
