<h2>London Assembly and secretariat</h2>
The London Assembly scrutinises the Mayor's activities by questioning the Mayor about their decisions. The Assembly also investigates issues of importance to London.
There are 25 Assembly Members, elected every four years at the same time as the Mayor. The Secretariat works for the Assembly to support its activities.
<h2>About the team</h2>
The&nbsp;Scrutiny Team supports the Assembly and its Committees&nbsp;investigating the decisions and actions of the Mayor and matters of importance to London.
The Team&nbsp;undertakes background research, arranges for people to attend Committee meetings to share their views, prepares reports and briefings for meetings and drafts reports and recommendations based on the findings of investigations.
