While I congratulate both borough commanders from my constituency in securing promotions, they will both be much missed. How will you ensure continuity of the excellent work that has been done in Lambeth and Southwark by the outgoing commanders during the recruitment process for their successors?

Please can you update me on progress with this strategy in Enfield and Haringey. What proposals are you considering for the future in these boroughs?

In the face of unprecedented budget cuts, what areas of police work will the MPS prioritise for budget reductions in order to meet the funding shortfall in future years?

We do all support efficiency but cuts and the pressure of budgets do pose a danger that we could be losing essential expertise. There has been some coverage that you are planning to make cuts to the homicide and serious crime command teams and that there may be some merging with Trident. I would be very concerned that the quality and effectiveness of the excellent work that is done in those areas could be lost. Would you be making these cuts and these changes to these extremely expert teams if it were not for the enormous budget pressures that you...

Maybe I'm just not very good at browsing. But...

Michael, rumours are flying around about the large amount of jobs that have been lost to date. Can you not give us an assurance and tell us are we talking thousands of jobs to date or what have you got that you can share with us today?

Can I say I am very happy to see the audit report? I have to say I never actually received my own copy, even though I asked the question originally. I was given a copy by a member of the press. I'm glad we have a free press that somehow gets access to this information. But I was very delighted when the Chair, George Barlow, indicated early on that he was going to seek an internal audit. But this doesn't seem to square with the letter I received from the Chief Executive when I made the initial enquiry about how...
