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. You said to Richard [Tracey] that that might be Surrey, this is London. It seems to me Ian McPherson's ideas come from Norfolk, and that is not London...

Thank you. Clearly, work is being done, but I read in the Paralympic Games bid document that the catchment area for the Paralympics is 30 million people across much of southern England within a day trip of the Games. Therefore, what is going to be done about helping people with any kind of disability across that catchment area, particularly if they rely on mainline rail services? What plans are in place for that situation?

Will you set them objectives or targets?

Thank you. On getting into London itself and the fact that it is going to be a very broad-based Games, we know that we have real problems in access for people with disabilities to our public buildings. Indeed, a recent statement in Disability Capital states that only 17% of public buildings in London are accessible. What plans are in place for involving disabled people in the cultural Olympiad?

Turning to the bus service, which you state will be fully compliant by 2006; I think you said early 2006 but are the ramps actually working? In fact, my evidence is that in many cases it is not possible for people with a wheelchair to access a bus on a low floor through a ramp, because the ramp is inoperable. Are there any efforts by TfL to get on top of this, such as using a secret-shopper approach?
