The Commissioner has said that he wants a new approach to stop and search. He told the Metropolitan Police Authority last year that he hoped to have a new policy in place for the New Year, and he told us last time he was here that that is still his view, but that there would be some consultation with communities and with ourselves and the stakeholders about that new approach. We have not heard of any consultation at the moment on what the new approach is, so could you just let us know firstly what the timescales are, what steps...

Yes, I do have some questions about the flawed police investigation that followed the fatal stabbing of Stephen Lawrence 19 years ago. I am sure I am not the only one but I just would like to say that so many people who have, if you like, been associated by just their feelings of sympathy and empathy with the family over the years would have been in a state of shock on reading that article. I would just like the Deputy Commissioner to say, if possible, what has been the response from the service to this article and this article...

Jennette Arnold OBE (AM): I have a few questions. I wonder, Kit, if I can ask you in your role as Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime what assessment you plan to make of the MPS' strategy and policy to address hate crime? I say that given this, I think, quite large increase of 7.6% around disability crime offences that we can see on the performance figures that you have given to us. Also, I just wanted to focus as well on hate crime and crimes against older people, because the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) February 2012 report shows an...

Just in case Londoners watching this think that London Fire Service is always locked in disputes about things, I think other answers and briefings we have seen show that there has been massive development of work practices and cooperation, for example, community fire safety work, which I think all Londoners would welcome. This does look like an impending dispute and I am wondering how you see it evolving and being managed and, without carrying your negotiations on in public, what you see as being the bottom line, the problems, the challenges that we face in addressing those?

Thank you. Have you done any costings of this? What it would actually cost to start this programme? I want to check the cost of taking out beds to replace them when those beds may be perfectly good ones, plus any ancillary costs on building work that may be necessary.

Has LFEPA consulted fire fighters on the proposed changes to the shift patterns and why do you think that the changes will bring benefits to the workforce and Londoners?

Will TfL work with the boroughs and follow the advice of the Department for Transport to define and establish a 'road hierarchy' so that the character of each road can be developed to best suit the functions it has to fulfill - providing safer walking and cycling routes, and keeping cars from 'rat-running'? .

Just going on a bit from what Jenny (Jones) was talking about. I just wanted to say that if we were to issue gold stars from the Environment Committee and maybe it should be green stars, then LFEPA does get a bit more in terms of delivering through responding to the environment agenda but also being able to quantify and put very clear markers down where you think you have the gold stars and where you think you know where you are in the process. I wanted to say that there is clear engagement on the environmental agenda, which is...
