Ken Livingstone announces his campaign for a London living rent

Ken Livingstone, former mayor and Labour candidate for London 2012 makes a keynote speech at the inaugural London Policy Conference on 13 December 2011. The Labour candidate announced his campaign for a 'London living rent', saying no-one should pay more than a third of their wage on rent and that a London living rent would be a fairer system. He said the cost of private rents was an issue affecting both low and middle income earners, because the average rent was now £1,000 per month, which works out at over 50 per cent of the average London income. Livingstone also announced his plan to establish the first London-wide non-profit lettings agency. 'It will put good tenants in touch with good landlords ... so that both can benefit from security of tenure and reduce the costs of letting.'
