Florence Eshalomi AM: Good morning, Deputy Mayor. You may be aware that one of the things the Government was supposed to announce in the Autumn Statement was the whole announcement around the buy-as-you-go thought to help more people get on to the housing ladder. Do you think that would help in addressing the London housing crisis?

Florence Eshalomi AM: Thank you, Madam Chair. Good morning to you, Commissioner, and Mr Mayor. I just wanted to go back to some of the points raised by Assembly Member Bailey in terms of the night Tube. The first two lines are coming in in less than six weeks from today, and I am very happy that one of them will be going through my constituency, the Victoria line. I just wanted to go back to some of the points that you raised, Commissioner, in terms of the impact of the 24-hour licence, and this is an issue that has...

Thank you. Ms Shawcross has the floor for a point of personal explanation because I am sure she will want to tell us she is not an outrider.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. This morning because of the Fire Service dispute, I intend to use my powers under Standing Order 2.40 first to take an item of urgent business, which is a statement from the Chair of LFEPA and to vary the order of business to take that first. I imagine the Mayor, when he arrives, will also want to say something on this matter, as part of his update. What I intend to do is to allow 25 minutes of questions on the Mayor's update during which period questions will also be addressed to the Chair of...

Would the Chair of LFEPA accept that from the Liberal Democrats side we have been supportive of the basic position that more money is possible and is justified but only in return for modernised working practices? And if so, will she accept that too few people in the public, in the media, actually understand the extent of the current practices and what is required? Will she agree to make it clearer exactly what changes we are asking for in terms of working practices? Because most people simply do not understand how inflexible they are. As far as the Mayor is...

I read in the newspapers that the Bain Report terms of reference were not actually agreed by the union and that they were very unhappy with the terms of the report. Now, the result of the report is absolutely dependent upon the terms that you set at the beginning. Is it true that the union was unhappy with it?

Did the FBU have sight of the terms of reference before the review actually started or not?

I wonder if the Chair of LFEPA could outline very briefly the liaison which LFEPA has had with Chief Executives of London boroughs and whether she is satisfied that there is proper and close co-operation between the Fire Authority and London's boroughs in this matter. I understand, particularly, that the Army services will not attend any lift breakdowns, which is presumably an issue for many of our London boroughs with their tower blocks. I wonder if she could also assure the Assembly that arrangements are in place to deal with any possible intimidation by members of the FBU of those...

The Chair of LFEPA has not answered the issue about intimidation and arrangements in place for those staff who wish to work normally and for those non-uniformed staff who wish to carry on with their duties.

5) I am pleased that the Mayor recognises that the primary issue for the New Year celebrations are about safety, as this concern is certainly shared in Southwark. Can you please share with us what has been done to ensure that: the various agencies involved are well co-ordinated on the evening; there is sufficient public transport for people to move around the city safely, and that any difficulties with crowd build-ups near the river are dealt with quickly?
