Am I right in saying that the target for the percentage of time spent on community fire safety at station level has risen from 6 per cent to 8 per cent? Looking at the actual performance last year, over a third of our stations exceeded 10 per cent and one of them, Sutton, according to the figures, spent 25 per cent of their time on community fire safety. Is not 8 per cent really too low as a target, therefore, and should we not be getting the average a lot higher?

If some can achieve above 20 per cent, can we not encourage the others too?

Okay, if I can just take it in stages. In terms of the progress, and clearly there is time involved, but we are on course to get all 10 relocated by March 2006 as per the plan, I hope.

Moving on indeed to the response times themselves, I think that we have new indicators here, particularly in relation to the second fire engine. Previously we were monitoring this in terms of the percentage of incidents at which attendance times met national standards of fire cover, where London was performing less well than some of the other Metropolitan Authorities. I think we have now got two new indicators and on the second fire engine point, the target is to respond within eight minutes on 75% of occasions. That is the key one, I think I am right in saying, on...

Those are London-wide targets. Overall, there is a net improvement, which is why we were very much in favour of this. However, clearly there are local variations and the concerns that were expressed last March were particularly that, while crudely outer London would benefit and needed to benefit, inner London would somehow lose out. Can you tell us how the response times for the second appliances are working out within those areas where there was concern that the loss of a second appliance would hit them.

We have a later motion about this question of the nationalisation of the national functions, so we will perhaps return to that. However, certainly one of the attractions of going down that route is to get the clarity and funding so that people can see what is going on. If the Government is not being clear and is expecting Londoners to pay for national responsibilities, then that is one of the reasons we are looking at that, certainly from my side. Toby says that he goes and has his cosy chats with the Home Secretary in a low-key sort of...
