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?

What progress has been made by the London Fire Brigade in rolling out instant response vehicles?

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?

I am very grateful for Mr Biggs mentioning Croydon and Sutton, and I will just briefly touch on that in the limited time that I have. Recently the Department for Work and Pensions came up with figures for Croydon Central Parliamentary Constituency. It is 14th in terms of number of lone parents who are on income support, so there is a very real need to recognise the importance of investing in this area in terms of social deprivation. But my question is actually about the question which Mr Biggs has down about the economic development impact. I would declare an...

But to paraphrase what you said, Paul, it is suggested to me that we will not see any extra facilities, as a result of having training facilities here. All we will see is maybe some improvements to existing facilities.

Can I turn to Lord Coe and thank him also for the work that he has done in West London, and visiting the school where I am a governor, the Harefield Academy. Clearly, that is a sports academy which is very much tied into this spirit and ethos of what we want to achieve through the Olympic Games. Are you picking up that same spirit and ethos across London? Are schools getting tied in as strongly as they should, because quite honestly the sporting legacy is those athletes that we know now that will probably be competing in 2012, and...

Lord Coe, you have gone on record as saying that the Olympics is not about budgets and additional infrastructure, it is about ambition and legacy. How is the current row over the budget for the main Olympic Stadium actually having an effect on the legacy, for example, for the main Olympic Stadium?

Do you understand the concerns raised by the Culture Select Committee in the House of Commons about the need to make sure that the uncertainty over the financing package and the final budget is resolved as soon as possible, precisely so we do not get the distractions that could get in the way of delivering the legacy that Lord Coe was talking about when I listened to him at the French Chamber of Commerce, for example, recently? What can we do, as an Assembly, to support the House of Commons Select Committee in pushing for some finality so we can...
