James Cleverly AM MP: In your explanation as to why Atlanta and O’Hare are able to have almost double the air movements that Heathrow has, we are at 400,000 and something and they are at 800,000 and something air movements. Is that right?

Kit Malthouse AM: I just wanted to ask about this suggestion of shifting the number of night flights and opening this window from 5.40am to 6.00am.

Is there a plan which is going to ensure all these things are placed back from the area that is potentially in danger?

Thank you. Now we've got Commander Shave there Chairman, I wonder if you can't answer this, perhaps he can. Does the Mayor expect next year, when he's going to get 240 for his transport initiative, for there to be a first call on police manpower, the extra officers going into the borough?
