9.00.00am GMT Tue 13th Nov 2007

Speaking on behalf of the five Liberal Democrat members of the London Assembly, Mike Tuffrey Leader of the Assembly group said:

"Party Members had to choose from three excellent candidates who stood for the Liberal Democrat nomination for Mayor of London. Congratulations to Brian on his victory.

"Over the coming months the London Assembly Lib Dem group look forward to working with Brian as he, and we, address the problems that 8 years of Ken Livingstone's rule have brought on London. Brian and the Liberal Democrats treat the position of Mayor of London as a serious job, not some vanity project. Londoners need to know that one Party at least will be listening and offering some serious solutions to the transport, housing and crime problems that still need sorting out after all this time."
