This system will exist in all mayoral strategic authorities except the Greater London Authority, where, as noble Lords have pointed out, there are specific arrangements for the London Assembly to continue to act as the scrutiny body. The London Assembly has the powers to question the Mayor of London, compel senior officials to attend and conduct investigations. Therefore, we do not intend to make any changes to the scrutiny arrangements in London at this time, but we always keep these things under review.
