This is an incredibly difficult area because in fact you do not want to stop whistle-blowers. You do not want to stop the police officers who are reporting on illegal activities within the Metropolitan Police Service. You want them to come forward. At the same time, you do not want false allegations leaked. In the past, the Metropolitan Police Service has had incidents where that has happened and officers do not seem to have been published. We have the de Menezes stuff and we have the Tomlinson stuff. Metropolitan Police Service officers have got away with false allegations or false...

I wanted to bring us on to the topic of violence against women and children. I think you know that we are doing a piece of work on it at the moment. We have met with women's support organisations and so on, with a view to presenting that report to MOPAC and then having it feed into your update to the Mayor's strategy. That is all going fairly smoothly at the moment. I wanted to ask you in particular about two of the Mayor's pledges on domestic violence. One of them was that he has pledged to maintain the number...

I want to ask you some questions about undercover officers, Mr Mackey. I have been asking the Commissioner questions now since June and I finally got a letter on 23 October 2012 marked Confidential and Private. There was absolutely nothing private in there and absolutely nothing confidential. Basically, it was saying it could not answer certain questions of mine because of difficulties in exposing various practices and so on. I just do not believe that some of my questions are not able to be answered by the MPS and I will give you an example. Under which European or UK...

Thank you. You have just been talking about supervision, and of course supervision of undercover officers has been a problematic area. Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) did put a report together and made some recommendations. Have those been taken up by the Met?

Jenny Jones (Deputy Chair): Thank you. Mr Mackey, how many vans are there that you are going to -- Craig Mackey (Deputy Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police): Right across the Metropolitan Police Service? I do not have the exact figure. Jenny Jones (Deputy Chair): I am just wondering, roughly.

Jenny Jones (AM): I would like to go back to Tony's questioning, which I completely support. I think senior police officers are paid amply and could probably provide their own legal services. Perhaps we should go through all the evidence from the Leveson and work out what percentage of their answers are completely of non-public concern or where we are not liable to pay for them and we could claim our fees back. What do you think, Tony? Would you like to write to the Commissioner and suggest that? Anyway, getting back to the papers Tony Arbour (AM): I am...

Is it acceptable that around 300 workers on the Olympic Park construction sites are receiving poverty pay?

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.
