Roger Evans AM: If you consider the 13 appliances that you are considering taking away plus the ones that were removed before, I believe the saving is around £25 million. If by some miracle you were to have £25 million returned to your budget, Commissioner, would you ideally spend it on putting those appliances back or would you have other priorities that you think would keep London safer?

James Cleverly AM MP: I am happy for either the Commissioner or the Chairman to answer this. When the traditional disposition of London’s fire stations was brought about, I suppose, with the early 20th century expansion, is it fair to say that fire and fire risk was the single biggest driving factor in the equipment disposition of fire stations and fire appliances?

Roger Evans AM: I just wanted to add my support to Jenny’s suggestion that fire prevention people might look at flood prevention as well. I wondered if there was also a role for them to do some joint working with the MPS on crime prevention because at the moment we have fire prevention people who go out and tell people largely to provide more means of exit and entrance from their properties and then crime prevention people who go around and tell them to lock them up. Might it not be better if the two services worked together and more...

Andrew Boff AM: On the subject of safety, on 25 November 2015 there was a fire at a tyre shop in Walpole Road, N17. This shop has now reopened. Is it standard practice for there to be an investigation or an inspection subsequent to an incident and could you write to me and say whether or not there has been an inspection of these particular premises? The reason I chase this with you is that there have been some concerns from local residents for a considerable period but they do not seem to be getting any joy from Haringey Council...

What transport demand modelling is currently being undertaken to establish the volume of passenger demand and the predicted transport patterns? If this modelling is being undertaken, who is carrying this work out? If it is not happening, why not? .

But that is not part of the Olympic bid; it is there anyway.

This is all a happy accident, is it not? All of these things were going to be in place anyway regardless of whether we get the bid or not. Can you point to any material transport improvement that Londoners will benefit from specifically because we have the Olympic Games in East London, which we were not going to have before?

What are the conclusions that you draw from that model?

• Question by: Roger Evans
• Meeting date: 15 October 2003

It sounds like you are relying on what you call operational enhancements and the Mayor's figures about the numbers going down for other reasons over the summer. Does this mean that once the Games are over there will be very little in the way of material transport improvements for Londoners to enjoy afterwards?
