Joanne McCartney (Chair): Yes, I think we are going to have to move on now. Mayor, another pledge you made was to set up safer neighbourhood boards which was on a borough basis and you were going to amalgamate community police engagement groups, the Independent Custody Visitors Schemes and the Metropolitan Police Service Independent Advisory Groups. Steve, you wanted to ask some questions on this. Steve O'Connell (AM): This is a subject that is interesting a lot of people out there. Many of us spend probably too many hours on consultative groups and panels and the questions being asked by...

Steve O'Connell (AM): Thank you. Following on from Navin, a very good question actually, many of us have a problem with our Safer Neighbourhood strengths, and it is not just in Navin's ward. Your offer, Mr Mayor, for that information could well open up floodgates, so be careful what you wish for.

Can we get the parameters very clear then. You are responsible for the build phase of the Olympic Site and the security of that build phase. You will then hand over to LOCOG who assume responsibility for the buildings and it is their responsibility for security of the delivery of the Paralympic and Olympic Games. Are you responsible for the security at Broxbourne for the waterway and at Weymouth? At what point do you hand over responsibility for the build site because I understand there are test operations that need to occur for a period of up to a year...

Gentlemen, in the current climate and with you being questioned so closely by everybody about costings, you must regret that remark by the previous Mayor about the costings for the bid being worked out on the back of an envelope?
