The Manifesto for Londoners - launched today in Parliament, sets out London Councils' case for devolution of powers from Whitehall and quangos to London boroughs.
The biggest economic and social challenge for London is to do more, and better, with less.
All parts of England need a more local state.
What is unique about London is that the need for change and the opportunity for success is greater here than anywhere else. This means that for a new government using devolution to increase value for money and improve results, London should be in the first wave of reform.
