Commissioner, Mr Mayor, a variety of questions from me. First of all, just on the FGM one, do you have any sense of the level of resources that are currently applied to this particular issue, how many officers, is there a team of 20 or 200?

OK, the other area I wanted to ask you about was the horse, the mounted units, an area I know that is close to your heart. There has been some research recently about the effectiveness of mounted police officers, both in visibility and in terms of enforcement. In effectiveness, I do not know if you have seen the hilarious video of a motorcyclist just on London Wall, I think doing a wheelie, being stopped by a mounted police officer very effectively and dealt with. What are the plans for the mounted units going forward?

Then I just wanted to clarify the situation on Westminster and police stations, since Murad [Qureshi] raised it. My understanding is that Westminster will be like a Belgravia, West End Central and Paddington Green, is that right? Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe QPM (Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis): Sorry? Kit Malthouse AM: The City of Westminster will have three stations in the plan, which is Belgravia, West End Central and Paddington Green, will remain.

Chairman, I do not imagine anyone would pretend that you have had the best of relationships with the FBU but there are a number of people on LFEPA who have much closer links with the unions. Do you know of any attempts that they have made to defend the position that was unanimously voted on to union colleagues, or friends that they may have in the unions, to take some of the heat out of this particular issue and ensure that London is protected without a strike?

Could I ask particularly about the efficiency in saving lives, which is something I welcome, as the Chairman said. What is the view of the two of you on what the Government should be doing about much more rigorous and widespread use of sprinklers, for example? The other thing I wanted to ask you about is timber framed buildings, which has been another bone of contention in the whole area in recent years. What are your views on that?
