Len Duvall AM: Thank you very much. My question is to John Barradell. In the first lockdown, it is quite clear that local authorities played a major role, albeit with some mixed messages coming from central Government about what they should be doing or not doing. What is different in the second wave in terms of some of the issues they were performing in getting food and prescriptions to people? You might identify other gaps in support that were taking place in the first lockdown.

Len Duvall AM: My question is to John Barradell. John, you are not attending this meeting in your role as Chief Executive of the City of London. You have rather a special role in London. What I do not understand - and I have seen various bits in the press - is why we need a Transition Board. What is the real reason for it? I still do not understand. Did something go wrong in the first wave, or is it just this is the best way forward in terms of dealing with the pandemic in this second phase?

You are looking for a balance between a police force and a police service under the effective policing banner. What steps are you going to take about the language and the pictures - people support the police and hopefully you are going to get the bad people that cause crimes against communities and individuals. The media in the past months, as the language and the rhetoric goes out, what steps are you going to take to address that? You seem to have done it there. I do not see any of that has appeared in the last couple of months...

I am not asking you to comment on the planning application; it is more about the commercial engagement with London City Airport. Are you aware that London City Airport provides no cost towards the security of its perimeters and, in a sense, that we and part of the GLA family are subsidising them? Before you enter into commercial agreements with London City Airport or give any undertaking that security, the primacy of security around our airports and users of airports comes first and therefore that they should not be subsidised by London taxpayers, they should make a contribution like other...

Where do those decisions take place or discussions take place so we can get to understand that, because we want the short-term to work well, actually the run-up to the Games, the delivery of the Games and then what arises out of the Games, you are going to be responsible for that bit. Right. OK. So where do the discussions take them and how do you use your influencing role to secure that long-term vision? The problem I have is, I think you are right about the ODA having some responsibility for it, or LOCOG in some ways has its...

And will that come with the other partners who have some stake, so we get one definitive view of where we are on legacy or are we going to have Bill and Ben back like we had yesterday, telling us that they are not responsible for it, `not me guv' and it is someone else's? I think we need to know.

Right. OK. I am going to give you an example then. The Olympics, in security terms, needs to take a number of decisions to secure a site for the safety of the Olympics in the events that go on. Where is the decision post-Olympics? We have not got a security issue, we have some iconic buildings which I hope are part of the legacy, but we would probably want to open up that site to people in a way of ongoing normalisation in security terms. How do we know who is doing the spec? Decisions are being taken now by...
