But the Conservatives say the new figure is less than London needs and less than the target they had set the mayor for home-building in the capital each year.

Former Conservative Stephen Atkinson, the Reform UK leader of the authority, said on Monday that his party would "be looking to focus our policies on what is most important to residents so we can make a real difference".He added: "I'm also very much looking forward to working with officers as we build a better future for our county."

MPs are calling for a change in the law to prevent benefit claimants from suffering harm at the hands of the government department that is meant to help them.Several people have died in recent years after failures by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).A cross-party committee of MPs says new legislation and "deep-rooted cultural change" at the DWP are needed to protect vulnerable clients.

A DWP spokesperson said the government was "currently consulting on a new safeguarding approach" which "genuinely supports vulnerable people".In recent years, the deaths of Errol Graham, Philippa Day and Kevin Gale have seen the DWP widely criticized for its handling of vulnerable clients.

In Mr Gale's case, the coroner highlighted "that current DWP procedures may not be practical for those with mental health illness and can exacerbate symptoms".

The inquest heard of the number and length of DWP forms that claimants were required to complete, the length of telephone queues for DWP advisers, and the requirement to travel long distances for appointments for people affected by mental health illness.The Metropolitan Police said the policy, which came into effect on Monday, "did not end working from home" and that it was aware some staff may have legitimate reasons for not following the policy due to agreed reasonable adjustment or an approved existing flexible working plan.

"Our plans will provide consistency across the Met and ensure we can deliver for our communities. We urge our staff and the union not to take further action," a spokesperson said.They added that those who continued to work from home for more than two days a week might be in breach of their contract and could lose pay.

Within the last year, a number of large London-based employers have reviewed their working policies and restricted or banned working from home.WPP, a global communications agency, announced on Tuesday it was tightening its rules and would require staff to be in four days a week from April.
