Sir Ian (Blair), you mentioned, I think it was first time I have heard it mentioned, that you appeared to concede that there is going to be a difference between Safer Neighbourhoods and non-Safer Neighbourhoods. Yet it is your aspiration, it is the aspiration of the MPA and it is the aspiration of Government, to see that every neighbourhood will be a Safer Neighbourhood. When will this happen? When will every neighbourhood be a Safer Neighbourhood, and how do you believe it will be funded?

I'm trying to find out what powers you actually have when the Mayor is away. Supposing there was a 11 September situation, for example a plane crashed into the House of Commons, the Mayor was in Australia, all flights were postponed, as they were after 11 September, and there's you, in London, in charge. What actions could you take in such a situation?

I was not suggesting anything like that. I was asking you what real decisions you would make. Despite the marvels of modern communication, it seems unlikely that it would be possible to communicate, even with your literary skills, precisely what was happening here in London to the Mayor, and the chances are therefore that you would have to make some decisions on your own. What kind of decisions would they be? Indeed, what decisions have you made on your own?

So you would accept that you could not reassure Londoners, despite the fact that you are the anointed one, that the Mayor has laid his hands upon you and that he has given you full powers?
