Tony Arbour (AM): I have been looking at this card, and I have to say I am not sure I agree with you, Kit, that people do not expect criminals to be caught. I seem to recall Kit Malthouse (Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime): They do. Tony Arbour (AM): the saintly Sir Robert Peel [Home Secretary who established the Metropolitan Police Force in the 1820s], when he put down the things of people being caught and brought to justice; no mention of that on the card. The key thing about this card which I note is that it says...

James Cleverly (AM): Following up from Victoria's questions about particularly young victims of crime and their confidence in policing, and I do not want to go crashing into one of the issues we have later on, but we are going to be touching a little bit on disproportionality. From memory, from the feedback we get from the sectors of the community who are least confident interacting with the police, the young tend to be less confident than the older generation. Black and other ethnic minorities tend to be less confident than the white population. Specifically with young, potentially black victims...

Tony Arbour (AM): On the specific point which John raised with you relating to the legal cost, are you telling us that it is possible that Lord Blair, Lord Stevens and other former luminaries at the top of the Metropolitan Police Service, we have paid to give them legal advice before they have gone to Leveson?

Just a quick follow up. I am hoping you are getting the feeling from round here that all of us are looking for a community that we can be proud of in years to come and I think that is something that we would like to see; the whole design and thought looked at from that sense of view. I am personally quite pleased we are not putting up more high rise blocks. You talked about the fact that you had reduced the number. Does that mean that is going to change the number of people in each room or...

Can we get the parameters very clear then. You are responsible for the build phase of the Olympic Site and the security of that build phase. You will then hand over to LOCOG who assume responsibility for the buildings and it is their responsibility for security of the delivery of the Paralympic and Olympic Games. Are you responsible for the security at Broxbourne for the waterway and at Weymouth? At what point do you hand over responsibility for the build site because I understand there are test operations that need to occur for a period of up to a year...

Gentlemen, in the current climate and with you being questioned so closely by everybody about costings, you must regret that remark by the previous Mayor about the costings for the bid being worked out on the back of an envelope? That is a question. You must regret it must you not, gentlemen? Does it make your job rather difficult?
