What you actually said to Jenny (Jones) was that the flood defences will have to be improved because of environmental factors: global warming, sinking land, and the fact that the risk will have increased by 2030. Of course, we do not just flick a switch and the risk doubles in 2030; the risk is increasing all the time incrementally towards that. But you did not say anything, with respect, about the risk management element, which has to take into account the value of what you are protecting as well as the risk of something happening. I am not convinced that...

Nor, I assume, do you put your police stations and fire stations and hospitals and emergency services that will need to respond to a flood within the flood zone?

Is there a plan which is going to ensure all these things are placed back from the area that is potentially in danger? How do you actually, when you are doing that, speak to local residents and businesses who are in the high risk area and assure them that, just because you have not got public facilities there, that does not meant it is a no-go area?

As a user of the Central Line, I just want to assure you that there was actually no positive element to the Chancery Lane incident. My constituency in Redbridge were absolutely outraged when the decision was made to close down the Hainault loop for further engineering work, after the rest of the Line had reopened. We really did wonder why that work could not have been done during the time that the rest of the Line was closed. I am a bit surprised that Lynne is suggesting this and I would like your assurance that you will not take this...

Over the last three years we have seen the Mayor carrying out a number of scurrilous personal attacks against senior Underground staff. What have been the consequences of that and how are you going to patch up that relationship?

Can I ask about some of the deep stations and safety on them? How are you going to ensure passenger safety on the deep stations when Metropolitan Police officers are out of radio contact when they go down there? You do not have to go very deep to be out of contact, such as at St James's which is only two flights of stairs. Also, London Fire Brigade is not contactable below ground in these stations and negotiations have gotten nowhere over the last two and a half years.
