• Question by: Roger Evans
• Meeting date: 02 December 2015

Roger Evans AM: If you consider the 13 appliances that you are considering taking away plus the ones that were removed before, I believe the saving is around £25 million. If by some miracle you were to have £25 million returned to your budget, Commissioner, would you ideally spend it on putting those appliances back or would you have other priorities that you think would keep London safer?

James Cleverly AM MP: I am happy for either the Commissioner or the Chairman to answer this. When the traditional disposition of London’s fire stations was brought about, I suppose, with the early 20th century expansion, is it fair to say that fire and fire risk was the single biggest driving factor in the equipment disposition of fire stations and fire appliances?

Roger Evans AM: I just wanted to add my support to Jenny’s suggestion that fire prevention people might look at flood prevention as well. I wondered if there was also a role for them to do some joint working with the MPS on crime prevention because at the moment we have fire prevention people who go out and tell people largely to provide more means of exit and entrance from their properties and then crime prevention people who go around and tell them to lock them up. Might it not be better if the two services worked together and more...

Andrew Boff AM: On the subject of safety, on 25 November 2015 there was a fire at a tyre shop in Walpole Road, N17. This shop has now reopened. Is it standard practice for there to be an investigation or an inspection subsequent to an incident and could you write to me and say whether or not there has been an inspection of these particular premises? The reason I chase this with you is that there have been some concerns from local residents for a considerable period but they do not seem to be getting any joy from Haringey Council...

Can I just ask Mary about the LDA's perspective. The Memorandum of Understanding has been renegotiated. We have heard the assurances today about budgets but we clearly do not know what the position will be when we get the final outturn on everything. Have you got any concerns that the Government might withdraw revenue for support grant, for example, from the GLA to compensate for any cost overruns?

In the event that there are major cost overruns, you have not put this into your risk assessment of the project, that we would lose money as an authority from the Government in direct relation to any cost overruns that take place?

Perhaps you could just give us the funding. Just pass the funding straight on.

It seems like a very good scheme. Can I ask how this funding can be accessed by local communities?

Can I encourage you then? Perhaps you can encourage a different sort of show, because after all the average size of the women in this country is a size 16, so more Rubenesque, can I say, than Picasso or Modigliani. My colleague, on my right here (Tony Arbour AM), actually has declared that he likes the Rubenesque shape rather than the skinny shape. So, can I encourage you perhaps to sponsor one of these. It is lovely. Some of us are really a bit more rounded than others and so it would be really nice to see that sort of...

Sorry, Ms. Reilly, with all due respect, I do not think that Ms. Doocey's question asked any of that, and I do not think you have answered it, because I do not think you have actually referred to the issue that she raises in her last sentence. I would be most obliged if you would refer to that issue.
