Dee Doocey (Chair): We now come to the session on policing. Can I formally welcome Kit Malthouse, in his capacity as Chair of the Metropolitan Police Authority, and Sir Paul Stephenson, Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis. I know that both Kit and Sir Paul wish to make an opening statement. Just to explain how things are going to work, the questions we have got in today are quite unusual in that they are all quite similar, so it has been agreed that each question will be put in turn and the questioner will have the opportunity to ask two...

I would like to pick up a couple of the issues from earlier. I am, Sir Paul, really reassured in your commitment to Safer Neighbourhood Teams and, particularly, that you are nervous about moving away from the ward-based model; I certainly am as well. It is very reassuring compared to what I have heard the Assistant Commissioner in Territorial Policing say. I found that he clearly has ideas to change TP completely.

Are you certain you and your officers really understand the problems involved in increasing recycling rates by using kerbside collections only? .

Would you not accept though that the majority of the money thus far has, as I say in my question, probably rightly been distributed to the low performing boroughs. What I'm really wanting to get at is what incentive there is for the high performing boroughs, those boroughs who have already made it a priority, actually to receive some reward, some recognition, from the distribution of this money.
