Mayor of London's housing claim 'misleading', says UK Statistics Authority

The UK Statistics Authority has ruled that London Mayor Sadiq Khan's claim of delivering 25,000 affordable homes in the last year alone could be misinterpreted. The claim was made during the London mayoral election campaign, but statistics revealed that the number of affordable homes started in London had actually dropped to the lowest level since 2008–09. The chairman of the UK Statistics Authority stated that the word "delivered" could be misunderstood to mean that the housing had been completed rather than started.
