Mr Chairman, Commissioner, I wanted to also thank and congratulate you for your sterling work over the last few weeks alongside the officers of the MPS. It was a fantastic joint operation dealing with very difficult circumstances. I know and was pleased that you mentioned that the coordination between the two services was exceptional and saved a lot of lives as a result. I also wanted to offer my congratulations for, frankly, another magnificent year of performance both in terms of output and budget. You seem to be achieving year-on-year, that magic equation of doing better for less, consistently. I...

Commissioner, can I say on behalf of my constituents how grateful we were to firefighters who attended at Clapham Junction in Battersea. Indeed, yesterday, Jane Ellison, the Member of Parliament for Battersea, was visiting the Battersea firefighters at the station. I would have been there too had I not been here on Transport Committee duties. My question is first of all to the Chairman. Do you share my impatience and frustration at Navin Shah's question to you about the budget and the potential budget of LFEPA, when it is so skilfully managed by Councillor Maurice Heaster from Wandsworth and the...

I wanted to welcome and congratulate you for your new approach to public consultation. As somebody who, on the other side of the fence as a councillor, was completely taken by surprise during the closure of the Manchester Street and Manchester Square Fire Station, by the then Labour controlled Authority, it comes pretty ill to hear them now complaining about your very open and transparent approach towards your future plans. So I welcome that. I wanted to ask you, in terms of priorities, about the Olympics and what work you will be doing around cost and finance as you approach...

If I heard right, you, Chair, Mr Coleman, you said that that callout would have cost over £200?

This is a question for the Chairman. I hope, Mr Chairman, you will not be taking any lessons on budgeting from the former Leader of Harrow Council, Mr Shah when, as I understand it, the budgets in Harrow got into some serious disarray in the period of 2005/06 and so, surely you need some wiser counsel.

I wonder if the Chairman - presumably it is for the Chairman this one - could bring us up to speed a bit more on the Heritage Protection Bill and the ramifications of it for the Fire Brigade and fire stations because, as I understand it, when some places are listed it is possible to get government grants to bring them up to the standard required or, indeed, to renovate them, but in other cases it is not. So what is the situation with fire stations which must produce a great problem for LFEPA.
