Bearing in mind the very limited funds available in this year's LFEPA budget for Capital Projects, will you ensure that no decision is taken to begin any further construction work at the Southwark Training centre site and that a full business case including the in-depth analysis of alternative locations is undertaken before the enlarged Breathing Apparatus charging facility is sited at Southwark? .

My question leads on from Tony's (Arbour) and then I have a separate question. The first part to it is that the title, as I know it, is the Fire and Emergency Planning Authority. Not long ago, part of the Environment Committee's work was to do with flooding, which is not a fire. As far as I know, fires and flooding are not necessarily completely and utterly linked except for electrical faults, but there are issues around flooding. Taking on from Tony Arbour's question, presumably the review that you are doing will not include just fire.

I do have another quick question, which is around the pay settlement. At what point do we review the terms and conditions on a particular issue that comes up every year, a recycled issue, which is on station cooks. I have a concern around the sickness and health levels of our firefighters and in fact the whole team. Where would that fit with the abolition of cooks?

The thing that we were quite intrigued by at the Committee was the issue around the traps having to be maintained more frequently because of the nature of a fire engine, as opposed to the nature of a bus and those sorts of things. We would welcome the opportunity of looking into that, as it is something that may be shared across the GLA family.
