I wanted to pick up first on Project Daedalus and then moving forward on that. Obviously in the detailed evaluation report that we have had it showed the reoffending rate for those leaving the Heron Unit was 53%, whereas the national reoffending rate was 70%, but that was only for the first cohort. I am wondering, are you going to be looking at the later cohorts to assess what their reoffending rate was - which would mean we probably would not get the final details until the end of next year?

I want to ask about, and we have touched on it a little bit, the consultation that is going to be taking place and is taking place on the Local Policing Model, the Estate Strategy and the Police and Crime Plan. We have heard so many different things about this, perhaps, Stephen, if we could just start off with you, if you could just clarify to us exactly what will be consulted on in January. I think you said 7 January. What is going to be in it in terms of will there be options around the estate, will there...

I just want to pick up that with the big redevelopment of your training facilities up at Hendon, I was just wondering, there are huge challenges there I think over the next three years. You are going to have to take staff and trainees off that site while it is rebuilt. A very brief update - you might want to send more details in writing - on progress so far. For the Deputy Mayor, do you think you have the relevant staff within your Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime to manage a project on this scale? I am wondering...

I had wanted to ask the Commissioner about police stations following what Stephen had said about how he was going to look at reviewing potential closure of police stations and the Mayor confirmed a change to his front counters policy, to find out what work is going on. But, Stephen, in your three weeks you have been there, what work have you discovered that has been going on in terms of selling the police estate across London?

I would like to ask about the Diamond Jubilee and what lessons were learnt in terms of policing and policing tactics for the Jubilee and how those are going to help inform the plans for the Olympics.

I want to move on and pick up the issue of Taser. I presume you have a briefing sheet there on Taser.

Moving on to particularly burglary and robbery. I mentioned earlier directly to the Commissioner that these are crimes that affect many, many people and often are the crimes that touch many people in the sort of areas that I represent, be it burglary of their homes, often robbery which often affects their young people in town centres. It is often a disproportionate affecting crime. It does worry me somewhat that the figures on robbery and burglary do seem to be going in the wrong direction over a period of time, both pan-London and in particular one of my boroughs. I...

You will know it is the Mayor's Manifesto to introduce the sentencing unit and I think we are very interested to see how that plays out and how that forms. I would be interested in your comments. Something that I think has brought this very much to all of our attentions is about and we had DAC Kavanagh here the other week talking about confidence levels. Something that we did say was that it is all very well the police getting their act together but the communal process is more complex than just the police and sentencing is one of...

Steve O'Connell (AM): Chair, mine is along the same lines that John [Biggs AM], unsurprisingly, was talking about, was the budget, so I will try to blend it slightly away from repeating John particularly. The budget is a challenge and you pointed it out and you have answered those questions around that. However, it does have broader issues, and I am particularly thinking about the effect on things like morale on the ground. If you do talk to as we all do studiously often local cops, cops tend to moan because that is part of the deal. But, if we...
