I just want to be absolutely clear on this, because you are saying there are a range of options, but the Metropolitan Police Service has a model, one Metropolitan Police Service model that has been approved by the MPS management board, which you have been consulting on, and in that model, the model has a basis of sharing chief superintendents across a number of boroughs. That is part of this model that you have consulted on, so it is one model that you are consulting on, not a range of options, is that right?

Thank you. I want to move on to looking at some of the police estate issues. Craig, you were going to talk about that earlier. I wonder from this initial dialogue you have been having, though maybe I would call it mood music rather than perhaps dialogue, what are the common issues that are coming up so far particularly relating to front counters?

Caroline Pidgeon (Deputy Chair): Specifically on this area, Craig, you are saying that this is still absolutely a consultation period that is going on but you could not confirm whether chief superintendent levels would stay at the borough commander. Is that really the case when we received an email in the last week relating to one borough, Southwark, where their newly appointed borough commander who was appointed with the firm intention to serve for three years has sadly emailed saying, 'As part of the budget cuts in response to the crisis, it has not been possible for the Metropolitan Police...

Caroline Pidgeon (AM): I just wanted to pick up a couple of things, following on from Val's question. The issue Val mentions of the seven stabbings, and one stabbing that resulted in somebody tragically dying in parts of Lambeth Kit Malthouse (Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime): Pimlico. Caroline Pidgeon (AM): -- I wonder if there is any more information you could give us in terms of extra resources and what you are doing, because there are clearly huge concerns in the community in that area, and it would be useful if you could give us a bit more information...

I wanted to pick up on the issue of the budget and ask the Chairman, will you be proposing to the Mayor another rise in LFEPA's take on the precept this year?

OK. I want to go back, Commissioner, to the point about fire safety and fires in London, which you mentioned there. The latest performance figures clearly show that the number of serious fires have been rising over the last year across the capital; we have seen an increase in fires in dwellings by around 7% and an increase in non-domestic fires around 17% which is concerning, given the trends previously. We are now seeing it reversed. What changes are you going to make to respond to this worrying trend?

Why have you offered up more savings for the financial year 2009/10 than the Mayor was seeking in his budget guidance issued earlier this Autumn?
