Why were proposals to recruit an interim Commissioner put to the recent meeting of LFEPA's Appointments & Urgency Committee, instead of a proposal to extend the present Commissioner's contract whilst also recruiting a permanent successor?

Could you just run over it for me - because I thought I had the figures and I did not quite believe them and so I must have misheard - the comparison between the number of incidents between 2007 and 2016 and the number of deaths in fires between 2007 and 2016 and the first attendance response times again? Could you just run over those with me again?

I have a question to pick up on my colleague’s point. It strikes me that this recruitment process will limit the people who can be recruited. If you are a senior fire person elsewhere and take this interim role, you will not be able to leave the role you are in. Correct me if I am wrong - and I am prepared to be wrong - but would you not have to convince your own fire authority to loan you to us?

I do echo my colleague’s point. In terms of continuity of personnel, would you not agree with me that when you have senior people doing a job and being accountable, continuity over a period of time is absolutely essential?

What you have described as increasing the bureaucracy have principally been things which have been forced on you externally. Would you be willing to look at things done internally, at the request perhaps of the MPS and more frequently at the request of the MPA, which are rather foolish and look to the public as being extremely odd? You have mentioned your standard operating procedures. This nonsense about how you should ride a bicycle etc are patently obvious and we should not be wasting time training people to do things which to the ordinary man is a complete waste of...

Last month I was fortunate enough to tour Romford Town Centre with the Borough Commander, who showed me the work that has been done to tackle crime associated with the night time economy which is a serious problem for us in Romford. Regrettably last month we had a shooting which is quite unusual. Stabbings and violence is not unusual but a shooting is. Can you explain how you are going to tackle crime in places like Romford in the night time economy set against this background of austerity that we need to deal with?

This question is about the effect of budget cuts on police work but I think the public always ask, 'All right about the police work but what about unnecessary bureaucracy?' Do you both feel you are bearing down enough on unnecessary bureaucracy? I am thinking of the pursuit of targets and box ticking which was brought in largely by the last Government. For example, I believe the Home Office has suggested that the Policing Pledge should go. Are you going to remove the Policing Pledge in the MPS or not? Are you doing enough on bureaucracy or is Government perhaps...
