Is there any annual stocktake snapshot of progress towards the sustainability generally, reconciling the economic, social and environmental? Does the Board or the Agency take stock once a year and look at those trade-offs or look at the win win.

This is a question to Mary (Reilly). It is about the training and employment framework that you have mentioned already. I recently visited Canary Wharf, where a training centre was set up on site by the Canary Wharf Group with the Universities & Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) and with Lewisham College, which seems to me to be an excellent example of good practice about how workers who have low skills can go on site and, during working hours, get that extra help they need. I know that UCAS is pressing for a similar site to be set up in the...

I wonder if you might just draw down a little bit and say is your planning based on a sector response. Listening to you, yes, you have all this equipment, but we are just used to seeing fire engines moving from A to B. How would you respond to a sector? Are you saying that you have enough equipment and resources within a given sector, and so that that would, in itself, support a catastrophic incident in that sector?

A lot of your learning came about after 9/11. Have you been around the table with your New York colleagues recently? I am just trying to get a sense of whether the equipment we have bought since 9/11 is really state-of-the-art. Is that something for the next two years, or should we be finding ways of working with people from Spain, New York, more so, because clearly, things move on in other worlds?

Last night in my constituency there was a major meeting because of concerns of movement of ordinary engines. What can you say to Londoners today in terms of your readiness from your service and working in collaboration with colleagues. Are you ready?

Surely you have learnt from that exercise and tested, and what did you use at that exercise, because you are saying ' in answer to question 363/2004 ' you are waiting for more equipment. What is happening now?

Another area which could well be a target is the Tube system, and one of the things I have not really picked up is the extent of London Underground Limited's (LUL's) involvement in London Resilience. Could you just inform us, at least, of what kind of discussions you have had on that front?

I will direct my comments to Roy Bishop. You can well appreciate the residents of central London are particularly concerned, because the likelihood of a catastrophic incident will be that it is one of the landmarks of central London, so I welcome your response. Do your comments also cover the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea? Also, there is another issue in central London - the closure of Manchester Square. Can you confirm to me that that would not adversely affect the LFB's capability of dealing with a catastrophic incident in central London?
