Thank you, Madam Chair. Probably the point has been raised by Deputy Chairman Arbour, but I was quite bemused, I have to say, that the Liberal Democrats had asked this question when they seem to have tried to delay the mandatory sentencing of second offenders with knives in the last Parliament.

Thank you, Deputy Chairman. Commissioner, you have been quoted in places in the press recently about the possibility of a further need of police station closures. Could you be a bit more specific about that? Are you thinking about them? The other thing is that there has been some discussion recently about co-ordinating the control of the major services. Of course, I do not imagine I need to remind you that there is a very large fire control centre in Morden, which has a lot of spare space. Would it be something that the police service would consider to make...

Commissioner, I was quite surprised to read in The Times yesterday some comments you had made about not being able to track people on iPhones. It was particularly relating to Uber, where they can track somebody who calls up for a cab. It is rather strange given what we see on American television and police that you in the MPS do not seem to be able to track anybody who has called in on a phone where it might be very, very helpful if they are in some danger.

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?

How will TfL bear down on fares and introduce more flexible ticketing from January 2015?

• Question by: Richard Tracey
• Meeting date: 10 September 2014

Mr Mayor, I think we have to draw an inference from what has been said about fares in this question. That is what the question was originally about. We have to draw the inference that perhaps the Labour Party believes that fares should not have risen at all since 2008 when you took over as Mayor of London. Can I ask if there is any estimate of how much revenue TfL would have had to sacrifice to keep the fares down for such a long period?

Thank you. That is some very useful information for us to use in our ongoing lobbying to stop the minority bringing London to a halt. The second thing, Mr Mayor, and it has already been touched on, is your aspiration to have more control over the London regional rail network. Given that we understand that there are people particularly in Kent who are worried about how their fast trains would be stopping at more stations, can I suggest that it would be useful if TfL were to put out a model timetable --

But you must find yourself frustrated when you look at what is possible for your counterpart in New York to achieve in stopping strikes and indeed in Paris, too.
