One of the things about these big old iconic police stations is that they are permanent. I think people are concerned that if a police station is not fit for purpose there is that worry then we will just put it in places temporarily. Can we have an assurance that if any station is decommissioned that services will be provided in a local area so that people will be able to report crimes locally?

What steps are you taking to recover costs of policing Heathrow? Why can't you recover the full costs instead of a proportion of costs? Is the shortfall resulting in cutbacks of policing services either at Heathrow or elsewhere? What has BAA offered so far by way of settlement? And are similar recovery efforts being made for London's other airports?
