LEP lines of accountability are often unclear to the public. Given that £294 million has been allocated to the LEP as part of the two Growth Deals, do you think that the Assembly should have a greater scrutiny role with regards the performance of the LEP?

Richard Tracey AM: Thank you, Madam Chair. Can I just dig a bit deeper into this question of skills and the equipping of young people? You will be well aware that in my constituency, in Wandsworth, we have the massive Nine Elms [Vauxhall Nine Elms] development going on. I was pretty shocked when on one of my recent visits there to hear from some of the people running the support operation that there are terrible problems with getting the funding and getting the operation going. They are not able to lay on the supplies of skilled young people and apprentices...

Victoria Borwick AM MP: If I may, I would just like to follow on and say that there are other boroughs that are very concerned. In fact, I have a residents group in Kensington and Chelsea that is extremely dismayed that it seems to be that others are moving ahead on this agenda. I would - I think - second the points made by Mr Dismore, not all of them, but I know there are others around here who I am sure could instance their boroughs and issues with this. There seems to be subsidies and other information for other...

Kit Malthouse AM MP: I assume that you would accept that for all the businesses and people employed in the area of green technology and green industries, 80% of what they do and what holds them back is exactly the same as for businesses that are not involved in those technologies. Therefore, your work on small business, science and technology and all those areas of emphasis would be equally as applicable to green technology, Jenny ‑‑ Jenny Jones AM: Yes. Kit Malthouse AM MP: ‑‑ as they are to other things. Harvey McGrath (Deputy Chair, London Enterprise Panel): Indeed. Kit...

James Cleverly AM MP: Thank you, Madam Chair. Prompted by Mr Knight, you mentioned more corporate involvement in the housing market and the provision of housing specifically for employees. Across the country, there are some significant examples where business owners have taken a very direct role in the provision of housing. I am thinking of Port Sunlight, Bournville, etc, where those - for want of a better word - early corporate entities recognised that they had a vested interest in the provision of good quality, local housing for the people working in their businesses. You mentioned the utilisation of pension...

Can I ask the Commissioner, in relation to community fire safety, your views on the sale of fireworks? I have had a number of complaints from constituents over the availability of fireworks in supermarkets. Indeed, in my local branch of Tesco they were on sale between the Golden Delicious and Bananas, with a special two-for-one offer. Do you share concerns of a number of us on the easy availability, in supermarkets in particular, of fireworks?

Local residents have put forward a new proposal for Manchester Square Fire Station in which the Metropolitan Police would share the station, thus reducing the costs to LFEPA. What is LFEPA's reaction to this proposal?

I am perhaps expressing myself badly. I think what I was told by one of my residents was that the reason for the excellent response time on 7 July was in part luck because we had fire officers returning from an earlier incident, which meant they were they returning and free to go straight out. I do not know the truth of that; I am just putting that point to you because it was put to me and I wonder whether that was part of it. My other question to Valerie (Shawcross) is that I hear what you say about...

You have that list in front of you with attendance times, which tells us that Westminster is fourth as predicted. Is Havering last as predicted?
