John Biggs AM: I wanted to explore further questions about the cost pressures within the budget. On the face of it, the Mayor is giving a guarantee about levels of funding. There is £389 million this year, £382 million next year and £382 million the year after that. He is also giving some assurances about compensating for further cuts in core grants. If the core grant goes down, the amount from City Hall goes up. He is also giving some advice and nudging you to do things by flogging buildings and cushioning your capital budgets and he has been very...

They exercised their roles predominantly as chairs of the MPA with many members. I just wanted to, if you like, punch the bruise of Tony Arbour's question, which is that understanding and defining your role -- and you are not stupid by any stretch of the imagination. However...

I had a process question, which is one of the reasons I am on this earth, or indeed on this Committee. It is about the Police and Crime Plan. I was really taken aback by something you said, Mr Greenhalgh, which is about how are you going to reach hard-to-reach groups. This is a statutory document, a statutory plan, it cements the relationship between you and him [The Commissioner] in a very public fashion. I had assumed you would have a plan, a project plan if you like, as to how you are going to roll this out. You have...
