I wanted to pick up first on Project Daedalus and then moving forward on that. Obviously in the detailed evaluation report that we have had it showed the reoffending rate for those leaving the Heron Unit was 53%, whereas the national reoffending rate was 70%, but that was only for the first cohort. I am wondering, are you going to be looking at the later cohorts to assess what their reoffending rate was - which would mean we probably would not get the final details until the end of next year?

I want to ask about, and we have touched on it a little bit, the consultation that is going to be taking place and is taking place on the Local Policing Model, the Estate Strategy and the Police and Crime Plan. We have heard so many different things about this, perhaps, Stephen, if we could just start off with you, if you could just clarify to us exactly what will be consulted on in January. I think you said 7 January. What is going to be in it in terms of will there be options around the estate, will there...

I just want to pick up that with the big redevelopment of your training facilities up at Hendon, I was just wondering, there are huge challenges there I think over the next three years. You are going to have to take staff and trainees off that site while it is rebuilt. A very brief update - you might want to send more details in writing - on progress so far. For the Deputy Mayor, do you think you have the relevant staff within your Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime to manage a project on this scale? I am wondering...

I had wanted to ask the Commissioner about police stations following what Stephen had said about how he was going to look at reviewing potential closure of police stations and the Mayor confirmed a change to his front counters policy, to find out what work is going on. But, Stephen, in your three weeks you have been there, what work have you discovered that has been going on in terms of selling the police estate across London?

I would like to ask about the Diamond Jubilee and what lessons were learnt in terms of policing and policing tactics for the Jubilee and how those are going to help inform the plans for the Olympics.

I want to move on and pick up the issue of Taser. I presume you have a briefing sheet there on Taser.

I think this is a question about transport and the effect on poverty, so it might be appropriate for Mr Ross. We know that part of the nature of poverty in London is the cost of travelling, not only to economic and business opportunities, but also, for those perhaps who are less mobile, to hospitals and health centres. We have the situation in London where those people who travel relatively infrequently find that for the cheapest fares you actually need to purchase up-front an Oyster card. If you do not do this, because you've only have a small amount of...

I won't pursue that, because we have some questions on the employment piece a little later, so I was just going to follow on from Angie (Bray). If the 60% of median income, which as she rightly says is a relative measure, is not merely statistical convenience, because there are exclusion or inequality issues, I wonder whether John could help us in terms of the balance between policy measures that address the absolutes and policy measures that should be reducing inequality, because they clearly are differing strands. If the argument is that we need to do both, how do we...

Given that there is a clear policy to move fully to cashless bus services, which will then have an level playing field, would it not be sensible to explore a campaign to get the last few people over to Oyster cards, including giving out free Oyster cards to people, particularly on the bus routes, where cash is being used a great deal. Brian Coleman (Chairman): I think perhaps, Mr Pope, that this is a specific item of policy which is for the Transport Committee, which you chair, to take up.

Any other thoughts in terms of dealing with this bottom-end problem, and the relativity?
