I would like to ask a question about the practicalities of this scheme and it has certainly come to my attention that there is a shortage of sergeants in London, who would provide supervision for the officers and the PCSOs in the step-change programme. I just wondered what discussions you have had with stakeholders about how some of the problems with lack of sergeants could be addressed, through looking at changes to rank structures, for instance, about who is actually supervising officers?

I am just wanting to press you a little further on this because there is this tension with the large number of new recruits coming into the police force and having those people on the frontline, dealing with the public on a day-to-day basis.

It seems to me a rather sad reflection that that elected MSP has to clarify his comments. I think many people were offended by what he said. I think all of us around this table would say that it is absolutely right that we take the threat of terrorism seriously and we prepare for it. I am concerned that this seems to be another daft Green comment.
