OK, the other area I wanted to ask you about was the horse, the mounted units, an area I know that is close to your heart. There has been some research recently about the effectiveness of mounted police officers, both in visibility and in terms of enforcement. In effectiveness, I do not know if you have seen the hilarious video of a motorcyclist just on London Wall, I think doing a wheelie, being stopped by a mounted police officer very effectively and dealt with.

A recent review conducted by the Government's former Chief Fire and Rescue Advisor, Sir Ken Knight, identified nearly £200 million worth of potential savings across England and Wales' 46 Fire Authorities. Given the size and complexity of the London Fire Brigade, in comparison to the brigades on which the review focused, how many of the areas highlighted in the report offer a real opportunity for cost savings in the provision of fire and rescue cover to the Capital?
