Indeed. That is showing up in the home safety checks which I think have risen from around 9,000 a couple of years ago to approximately 20,000 in the year that has just ended and the target for the current year is approximately 30,000. Even if you add all that up, that is 40,000-50,000 home safety checks. One or two per cent of Londoners have had a home safety check. Should we not be looking for a real huge step forward in this area?

I have to say that I am surprised to see this question here, and it can only have come here because the Chair of the Authority has chosen to brief her colleagues on this. This matter is being debated, I thought, through the Chair's Coordinating Group which is normally a confidential body while options are discussed. Will the Chair confirm that there is no dispute that there are clearly variable natures of work between night and day? The crucial point is to establish that on the night shift there is no question of people being paid to sleep on the...

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?
