Can I just ask how many London-based businesses have successfully won Olympic contracts to date?

I am sure it is right to do that because, leaving aside the question of the overground railway simply because they work on the Tube and the buses. Clearly, we all know that after 10.00 pm is very often one of the times when people most want to see a visible uniformed presence. I am wondering, given this difficulty which I hope can be resolved, and given the fact we have had to go through this sort of negotiation, would it perhaps in retrospect have been better to advise the Mayor to put in the money for fully warranted officers...

Thank you very much. Can I come back to Lord Tope's questions about shift patterns and so on for PCSOs and in particular in relation to their work on the overground railway. You will remember that there was some discussion of this at the September MPA meeting and the particular concern I have is that at the moment of course y it involves PCSOs finishing at 10.00 pm. Tim Godwin (Assistant Commissioner) told the Police Authority on 28 September that if they worked after 10.00 pm in the evening, staff would be entitled to an increase in salary which was...

What steps are going to be taken, and who is going to be taking the lead, in getting a real buy-in from the private sector? Ultimately we have got quite a lot of people from the public sector, distinguished people on the Board, but it is the private sector that ultimately will deliver this.

Thank you; that is helpful. You highlight the importance of the project delivery there. Which of the members of your Board will be taking responsibility, apart from yourself, for project management issues?

I am grateful to hear that, that is reassuring. I wonder if you had had the chance to read the report that David James did on the delivery of the Dome?

Can I welcome you, Mr Higgins, both from myself and my colleagues in the Conservative Group. The ODA has been described as the people who build the stage and the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (LOCOG) puts on the show. I just wonder if you can help me a little more in terms of what overlap you envisage in terms of operational work, of any kind, or budgets?

Again, I think a number of us here will find that very reassuring too. May I finally ask a more parochial question? I was grateful to see your comments about community engagement. I represent a constituency in south London, which includes Crystal Palace, which is not going to be one of the principle sites. I wonder what steps you are going to be taking to deal with those parts of London which, on the face of it, may not be receiving a direct benefit in terms of legacy but who will be contributing through their council tax, to try and...

It does, and I can go on but if you have got anything to tell me other than you have already told Tony Arbour, who asked my question under a supplementary, please do. If you do not, may I explore another area?

Thank you. Safer Neighbourhood Policing is your baby. It is your stamp as the new Commissioner and it is your stamp on policing in London. Therefore, if you cannot get enough money for an expansion of neighbourhood policing, your reputation is at risk. Are you sure that you are actually going to get 6,000 PCSOs paid for from the Home Office?
