I wondered if I could very quickly ask Mayor Pipe a question on the Ministerial statement yesterday on the 'bedroom tax'.

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...
