Commissioner, when were the Metropolitan Police Service first aware of problems with the private security firm Group 4 Security (G4S) and their ability to deliver their promised security complement?

Chair, it is just a quick question, and it goes back I think to where Steve [O'Connell] started. Commissioner, what I just wanted to raise with you was, as well as the Olympics, and I welcome the assurances that you have given from where you are at the moment, it is summer time, even though it is so wet out there, and during this time there would normally be contingency plans for events that happen, certainly in some boroughs that I am familiar with, over that summer period. You would normally, I know in the boroughs I represent, they would...

A question to the Commissioner. Just earlier on, and I apologise for arriving late, but I heard you, in terms of you answering the questions on the milestones. I want to take you back to the Olympic security issue. Of course in July when they indicated they could not fulfil the contract, that is quite a clear milestone. You mentioned before in the autumn of 2011 the jump from 3,000 odd to 10,000.

Can we just look at learning lessons and really I suppose the aspect of privatisation, which is another side of policing activities in terms of what has happened with some of your neighbouring services. I really have two questions to you both, but if I can begin with the Commissioner. On a webcast on 21 June, I think you have a fairly fixed view about privatisation, about the limits of it, where to put it within the police activities and where not. Do you describe core activities ... you do not really see privatisation doing patrolling, issues of police investigations...

Given that both the Conservative Party and the Liberal Democrat Party only want to build half a Thames Gateway bridge I think it is quite reasonable there should be a lively discussion on the issue! I think in both cases they like the northern part, but not the southern part. That is politics for you! Would you agree that you are the greenest Local Authority Leader in the country and that green voters should celebrate the fact that they have voted for you in the past and should think hard before supporting another candidate in the future?

Do you mind if I just come in because a mitigating fund is not the same as a revolving loan fund?

Peter, it was very timely, that the vision of TfL, that the Transport 2025 came out before Sir Rod Eddington's report. Some of the difficulties Tony [Arbour] is having about understanding the funding are answered in the Report; the suggestion that the cash moves from the rural rail lines to the commuter rail lines, that we extend the road pricing nationally. Can we expect TfL to be picking up some of the proceeds of those changes in funding priorities nationally?

I have a letter here in my hand from the Leader of Camden Council who is speaking on behalf of Liberal Democratic/Conservative Partnership Administration, and that is what he says in his letter. I am happy to share that with you although I am really in a state of despair about what has happened here. Would you agree that one of the things that made the Croydon Tram Link Scheme happen was that the Conservatives on Croydon Council supported this project all the way through 15 years, up until it happened? That was one of the critical success factors in...

Thank you, Mayor. While the Conservatives on the Assembly were getting very excited and hyperventilating about your trip to Cuba, the Conservatives now involved in the administration of Camden Council were busily undermining the Cross River Tram.

Thank you for what you said about land acquisition. I certainly welcome the settlement that has been made with KICC, as it is within my constituency, and it is right to see fair treatment to this organisation. The concerns I have are about the smaller communities, mainly the traveller communities. I know we are down the way with the resettlement of the Hackney traveller community, they were expressing concerns to me last week about members of other traveller communities within the five Borough Zone. I want you to reaffirm your commitment to ensuring that the traveller communities will get fair...
