| Info | Tom was elected to the London Assembly as a London-wide List member in May 2012.
He is currently Chair of the Assembly's Housing Committee and is a member of the Planning and Transport Committees, he also sits on the London Fire & Emergency Planning Authority.
Tom has consistently raised issues around the lack of housing supply across all tenures, rents and conditions in the private rented sector and the increase in rough sleeping with the Mayor. Tom also led an investigation into the challenges facing small theatres in London on behalf of the Assembly's Economy Committee. This led to the Centre Stage report which sets out an action plan to help London's smaller venues, and following the report’s recommendation the Mayor launched the London Theatres Small Grants Scheme in August 2015.
Prior to his election to the Assembly, Tom worked for the Searchlight Educational Trust - an anti-fascist, anti-racist charity that works with communities to fight racism and hatred. He has also worked for the Labour Party and the Health Protection Agency.
Tom is a patron of LGBT Labour, sits on the Board of the New Diorama Theatre and is an elected trustee of the British Humanist Association.
Originally from Derbyshire, Tom grew up in Wiltshire and has lived in London for most of the last 10 years.
