James Cleverly AM MP: In your explanation as to why Atlanta and O’Hare are able to have almost double the air movements that Heathrow has, we are at 400,000 and something and they are at 800,000 and something air movements. Is that right?

Andrew Boff AM: Sir Howard, could you tell me how many domestic destinations will be served by Heathrow by 2030?

Kit Malthouse AM: I just wanted to ask about this suggestion of shifting the number of night flights and opening this window from 5.40am to 6.00am. Presumably you are anticipating that the first touchdown would be at 5.40am, which means that the approach would be in the 15 to 20 minutes before that. Of course, that is when much of the noise pollution is occurring. For instance, I live in Islington and we get planes over us at the moment at about 5.40am or 5.45am because they are wheels-down at 6.00am. Have you taken into account that actually what you...

Thank you, Sir Ken. I think we would all like to congratulate those success stories that you have just highlighted. Obviously the picture we are getting is that it is a patchy performance across London. Would you agree with that?

Thank you very much, Commissioner. I am very delighted to hear that, although I was rather sorry that there was a delay because I can remember at least two years ago when we were in here for a scrutiny session, and you came with your Union Representative and he agreed that there really was no hold up with the Union as to getting this sorted out in London as long as they were not to be sent there instead of an ambulance, to which we, of course, agreed. You have been given £100,000, but none of this has been drawn...

Commissioner, the Metropolitan Police has received some initial funding to help them prepare for the Olympic Games and their resilience thereto. Has the London Fire Brigade received any preparatory monies to help them forward, and to what extent are you involved in the planning for that event when some ten million visitors are expected to go to the Games in a period of about three weeks?

The Olympics are vulnerable from both the river and the canals. Are you involved in protection of the Olympic sites from the river and the canals and do you have the equipment?

So the Chair (of LFEPA) was not right to say that it was to do with cost of refurbishing?

I was never saying the outer Boroughs should continue to have less. What I argued for was that London as a whole should have more which would mean that everybody could enjoy more, rather than some having to then lose some in order for others to gain some. It just seemed to me we were trying to cut the cake smaller. My final point would be, are you aware, Sir Ken, that the residents in the area are continuing to put together new rescue plans, and that right now they say they are talking to the Metropolitan Police about sharing...

So you are not really interested in talking to them about their proposal?
