A couple of very specific questions here around violent crime in London. Recorded knife crime with injury offences has gone up 51% in the last six months. We have had some terrible recent incidents across London. Given the success of the London-wide firearms amnesty last month, and this current hike in knife offences, would you consider launching a similar amnesty for knives in London?

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?

What funding have you and/or the Mayor been able to secure from Central Government to help improve recycling rates across London? Given all the statements that both you and the Mayor have made on this topic, does incineration have any place in the future disposal of London's waste? .

Would you not accept though that the majority of the money thus far has, as I say in my question, probably rightly been distributed to the low performing boroughs. What I'm really wanting to get at is what incentive there is for the high performing boroughs, those boroughs who have already made it a priority, actually to receive some reward, some recognition, from the distribution of this money.

Are you telling me then that the priority is not to give the money to low performing boroughs in order to drive them up. Surely, that is the priority.
