This is to the Chair of the Police Authority. Would you agree with me that the majority of British people feel that Members of Parliament are overly precious and cosseted and that they should be subject to as much scrutiny as anybody else?

Thank you for that answer. I freely admit this is a semi-planted question. The question is not planted but I received a briefing from the police several months ago precisely as part of the strategy which I think the Authority supports of seeking to reclaim funding for policing at London City Airport, and I quite strongly support that, it is a very profitable enterprise. As I understand it the figures are that currently policing at Heathrow costs roughly £48 million a year, of which we recover £26 million, and we want to increase that to £35 million.

Do sufficient incentives exist for and is sufficient priority given by London Boroughs to develop community safety partnerships with the MPS? If the position is variable, with examples of good practice but in other cases insufficient attention, what should be done to bring the laggards up to standard?
