Join us at 13:30 on BBC One: Labour's mayoral candidate says next year's race for City Hall will be a 'referendum' on the housing crisis in the capital. 

Sadiq Khan told his party conference this morning there had been a collective failure to build enough. But the Conservatives in government and City hall had made it worse. Our Political Editor, Tim Donovan will have more.

At a previous hearing, magistrates heard how Peter Barnett, 43, boarded trains at Haddenham and Thame Parkway without a ticket and used an Oyster card to "tap out" at Marylebone.

Barnett, from Oxford, was stopped by a ticket inspector at Marylebone station and asked where he travelled from.

When he claimed to have travelled from Wembley, instead of Haddenham and Thame Parkway in Buckinghamshire, the inspector became suspicious and Barnett ran off.

He handed himself in later that day.

Barnett admitted six counts of fraud by false representation between April 2012 and November last year.

A barrister who commuted from Oxfordshire to London for more than two years without buying a valid rail ticket has been given a suspended prison sentence of 16 weeks. 

Peter Barnett, 43, dodged the full fare by claiming his journey had begun at Wembley in north west London. 

However, City of London Magistrates' Court ruled that he'd cost Chiltern Railways just under £6,000 in lost revenue and not the £19,000 the company claimed he owed.

In his speech to Labour conference, mayoral hopeful Sadiq Khan said the 2016 mayoral election will be a referendum on housing.

He vowed to "stand up" to big property developers, set up a new team of housing advisers at City Hall and require that half of all new properties be devoted to affordable housing, with priority given to Londoners. 

That way, he said, Labour would "become the party of homeowners".

Labour's mayoral candidate, Sadiq Khan, has begun his speech to the Party's conference in Brighton by paying tribute to his family, who he says "would've never dreamt I'd be standing here today as your candidate for London mayor".

He says he wants Londoners to have the same opportunities as he had growing up, including access to affordable housing and education.

Conservative mayoral hopeful Syed Kamall has insisted the "money is there" for a Thames Estuary airport and "all the backers are looking for is the political go-ahead". 

That's despite the idea being rejected by the Davies Commission, which recommended a third runway at Heathrow.

Mr Kamall pledged to offer Londoners a referendum on airport expansion, saying: "If Londoners back the idea, it'll be hard for anyone to stand in the way."

He is opposed to a third runway at Heathrow, as are all the mayoral candidates announced so far.
