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?

It is obviously crucial that we get this brownfield development right if we are to protect greenfield and indeed the green belt. The figures I have in the decade before the LDA was set up, so in the 1990s, we lost the equivalent of Richmond Park in greenfield development and in this decade we have been losing St James's Park every year, that is development on greenfield sites. So, with that context, do you think that the the LDA's annual target of, I think is it 50 or 55 hectares a year, is adequate?

No, but the fact is, to organise this, to keep aware of what is going on, it is going to need considerably more than £50,000. In fact you are going to need nearer £300,000, possibly more and I am concerned that this is not being reflected in the budget. It is all very well to have fine words. This is what we are finding constantly here, that we hear promises and fine words from people, but it is about the delivery and that equates actually with spending some money on it.
