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 want to talk about the general issue of fraud, and then I want to get into a specific example. First of all, perhaps briefly, Deputy Commissioner, you could outline what the police are doing, what checks you have in place, to alert you to cases of potential fraud?

I just want to be absolutely clear on this, because you are saying there are a range of options, but the Metropolitan Police Service has a model, one Metropolitan Police Service model that has been approved by the MPS management board, which you have been consulting on, and in that model, the model has a basis of sharing chief superintendents across a number of boroughs. That is part of this model that you have consulted on, so it is one model that you are consulting on, not a range of options, is that right?

Thank you. I want to move on to looking at some of the police estate issues. Craig, you were going to talk about that earlier. I wonder from this initial dialogue you have been having, though maybe I would call it mood music rather than perhaps dialogue, what are the common issues that are coming up so far particularly relating to front counters?

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...

Caroline Pidgeon (Deputy Chair): Specifically on this area, Craig, you are saying that this is still absolutely a consultation period that is going on but you could not confirm whether chief superintendent levels would stay at the borough commander. Is that really the case when we received an email in the last week relating to one borough, Southwark, where their newly appointed borough commander who was appointed with the firm intention to serve for three years has sadly emailed saying, 'As part of the budget cuts in response to the crisis, it has not been possible for the Metropolitan Police...

I did want to pick up a question I had asked last month, we had the Diamond Jubilee, were there any particular operational issues that were learned, Commissioner, that you are then applying to the games themselves?

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.
