That is really reassuring, Commissioner, because I think trust is really essential for the public and we have had some really recent high-profile cases where we have seen respected celebrities and other public servants jailed, some of them as paedophiles, and their hideous crimes uncovered, and I think with this sort of thing going on it is really important for the public to have absolute trust in the police and their investigations. Mr Mayor, do you think it is right for the MPS to have a compulsory public register of interests, including membership of the freemasons?

Could I ask a few questions now on front desks and contact points? We have seen the closure of three police stations in the residential part of Westminster, that is, north of Oxford Street. That is, the Howe Road in Paddington, Marylebone Station in Seymour Street and St John’s Wood Police Station in New Court Road. Why has there been no front desk replacements, Mr Mayor? Could I ask the Commissioner, has the MPS forgotten that people actually live in Westminster?

Commissioner, on the question of the costs of policing London, I think MOPAC has said, and I think probably the Inspector of Constabulary has pointed out also that the cost per head of policing London is probably about twice as much as the average for the rest of the country, and that is even taking out the cost of the national responsibilities which you have. I believe that there has been a drive on between yourself and MOPAC to try to bring down that comparison to get nearer to the national average. How are you getting on with that?

I would like to ask a question about the Metropolitan Police Service’s capacity to tackle female genital mutilation (FGM) now that Department of Health statistics show that London accounts for over half of all FGM cases in England, and I wanted to ask the Commissioner, given we heard last month that ten out of 12 FGM cases put forward by the MPS to the CPS have fallen, are you concerned at the ability we have to prosecute the cases and what lessons have you taken from this for the future?
