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.

The point I was going to make is that you have a lot fewer vehicles than Transport for London, or in fact most of the people we would target through an emissions zone who are running fleets. Not only do you have relatively fewer vehicles, they are most of the time sitting in garages rather than out polluting the environment. They actually travel only when going to an emergency. I think it could reasonably be argued that however much pollution they are creating at least they are saving more lives than they are destroying, unlike most of the other polluting...
