Noel Lynch (AM): In your opening remarks you mentioned the TV images and the predominance of attacks on older people, when in actual fact it is most towards young people.

There is a perception, a widespread perception, that Brian Paddick has been rather shabbily treated by both the MPA and the MPS on this issue. I think it leaves the MPA's image somewhat tarnished.
