I think it is a bit rich coming from my colleague, Mr Hulme Cross, given that he actually voted for the closure of the fire station on LFEPA so there are a bit of crocodile tears going on there I suspect, whereas I, as the local Assembly Member for the constituency, have at all time reflected my concerns about this closure. I recognise what you are saying, that things are not as bad perhaps as they had been predicted, and indeed remain well within your target areas. However, the point that my residents would make is that rather than having...

Well I am disappointed then. My concern is that there are as large number of flats, new places being opened in the area; Abbey National, Marks & Spencer and all the rest of them are turning into flats. That is a concern because the Marylebone Association is quite clear that they feel there should be a fire station there, they feel they have the potential support of people like Frank Dobson, MP for Holborn - who I gather has written to you about it - the Duke of Westminster, possible the new West End company, all sorts of people have...

In 2007/08, LFEPA will experience a £6.9M black hole in additional London Resilience funding as well as significant other London Resilience financial deficits in other years. When will the Government recognise the unique need to protect its capital city from major incidents and fund this shortfall?

I will return to the politics of the situation in a moment. Firstly, can I ask Sir John for his professional take on the situation? Previously you were eloquently talking about the national responsibilities of the Met and our specific grant covering those of £200 million or so, is rising by 2.5%, less than the rate of inflation. I would really welcome your insight as to what you think the Government is up to. Given the stress we are under in London because of our national and international responsibilities why does central Government not seem to be recognising that, from...

Graham Tope (AM): I do not think any of us would want to suggest that this was an issue solely for the Met to deal with; I took that as a given. Toby mentioned earlier the issue of bullying. Quite often bullying of young people whether inside or outside school is regarded as something that is part of growing up. Is that the attitude that the Met takes, and if it is not as I hope, how do you work with local authorities and other agencies to address the issue of bullying amongst young people?

Diana Johnson (AM): It is about the Cadet Corps. As the link member for Havering, Barking and Dagenham I have been very impressed by their Cadet Corps. What do you think is the future for the Cadet Corps?
