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.

I am trying to get my head round this, and I have written down 'complementary specialisms, information flow, early advice, and then the crunch, which is marshalling resources to the scene.' Can you just tell me, what difference will it make, if you actually have this? What difference will it make, if there is a catastrophic event?

I just want to follow up the work about working together in this MAIAT. I am confident when you are all in a room, yes, you are all working together, but it has been reported to me that none of your communication systems actually connect with each other. Therefore, what happens at the operational level, if you are all running on different communications systems? Is that high up on the agenda? I am thinking about the command, really. I am not talking about people putting out fires. I am talking about the connection between the fire service, the police, the...
