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...

Good morning Commissioner. From my own point of view I was quite happy to see we have a Commissioner that will be on the front line. From your letters I have read through and your comments today, a no nonsense gentleman in charge of our police force. I have two questions I would like to put to you. I was going to ask them after the next question but I think they are more appropriate now as much as the next question to follow. According to a poll that has been carried out, 72% of Londoners believe the Metropolitan Police...

We have been both surprised and alarmed at the response to no less than three FOI requests to the Metropolitan Police. Each case was a violent incident, and the FOI request was for police to issue a description of the attackers: the response stated that "to issue a description of the perpetrators would not be in the public interest". This reasoning defies logic - how can it be in the public interest not to disclose details of a person or a gang perpetrating violence? How can the Met be protecting the public by leaving residents of a given area at...

I would like to continue on the aspect of public confidence. Recently I have made - on three occasions and I am quite surprised and alarmed by the results - freedom of information requests (FOIs) to the Metropolitan Police Service. Each of those related to violent incidents. I had asked for the description of the attackers, person or persons involved. The reply has come back. One example is with Thomas Hewitt [Thomas Hewitt Jones, a man attacked in Dulwich in July 2010]. Two comments come back. One is that to issue a description of the perpetrators would not be in...

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...
