One of my concerns with these terrible, savage, fast cuts to your budget has been that a lot of civilian staff have been lost, close to 4,000 since 2008. Do you know at the moment how many of those posts still exist and are being backfilled by police officers?

I want you to fast forward, OK, because Theresa May [MP, Home Secretary] has promised an inquiry, a judge-led inquiry, into undercover police officers, and supposing it happens in two, three, four years’ time, and you are called as ex-Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for London to give evidence, are you going to be able to give the evidence that they want to hear? For example, will you be able to tell them how many of the four officers that were looked at by the Herne Inquiry [Operation Herne – MPS internal review into use of undercover policing by the...

Will the Metropolitan Police update its definition of a domestic extremist to take account of the recommendations made by HMIC in the report “A review of national police units which provide intelligence on criminality associated with protest”, published in January 2012?

Thank you very much. I am very glad to hear that you have made progress on that because it is incredibly important. Congratulations on being on time and on budget. That is pretty amazing and I am sure we are all happy about that. One of the next steps that you could do, in fact, with the Living Wage, is to have accreditation from London Citizens and I gather that organisations like the London Development Agency (LDA) already do have that. I wondered if you would take that next step and get accreditation and then, perhaps, you could also work...

I am more than slightly concerned about the legacy, which you have all mentioned in your presentations. Somehow I am getting the feeling that in the original bid the legacy was a huge part of it, to regenerate a very poor area of London. There was this idea that the Olympics would actually fund the legacy, but it is starting to look (and I am well aware that when we are asking our questions we ask so many questions based on newspaper reports because we do not have the information from you) that it looks more now as if selling...

I would like to go back to the environmental and social issues. I would like to float an idea past you and see your reaction. It is worth spending more money and going over budget to include all these environmental ,sustainability and social issues than it is to come in on budget and reject all of these things as being something we cannot achieve. Remember we are talking about 2012 here. People will have very different expectations of what sustainability is by then.

First of all I would like to say from the Green Group, we very much support the Olympics and want it to be a success, and this is the force of our questions. I want to push you again on the whole issue of targets and monitoring, specifically on the legacy aspect of the employment, of the skilling and also of the living wage. There are actually three questions from us' Brian Coleman (Chairman): Let us do one at a time. I am trying to make a point that this is something we care about and something that is going...

I am really glad you are doing all that; it is incredibly important. However the fact is that we have to justify to Londoners exactly why the Olympics is good for them because we have to justify the increase in the council tax that Londoners are paying. We need these figures. I understand about targets and how this takes up a huge amount of time to monitor and so on, but we are going to have to have these figures. We will keep asking for them.
