Greater London Assembly
   The body based at City Hall that administers Greater London, covering the 32 London boroughs and the City of London. Its 25 members (AMs), elected every four years by the additional member system, hold the elected Mayor of London to account, scrutinising the incumbent’s actions and decisions. The Assembly must accept or amend the Mayor’s budget on an annual basis. Its areas of responsibility include economic development, fire and civil protection, planning, policing and transport.
