Just going on a bit from what Jenny (Jones) was talking about. I just wanted to say that if we were to issue gold stars from the Environment Committee and maybe it should be green stars, then LFEPA does get a bit more in terms of delivering through responding to the environment agenda but also being able to quantify and put very clear markers down where you think you have the gold stars and where you think you know where you are in the process. I wanted to say that there is clear engagement on the environmental agenda, which is...

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.

How can we make sure that the benefits of developments for the Games are felt by the whole of London? .

Thanks very much. As you said, you have learnt from other Games, and I am really pleased that you have said that. The Sydney Games in particular was given a bronze medal by Greenpeace for its sustainability. What medal are you going for and what medal would you be happy with in terms of sustainability for these Games?

So would you be happy with the bronze medal?

Yes, the best practice for 2012 as I understood what you said earlier on. In terms of 2012 sustainability and environmental issues, the carbon dioxide targets that the Assembly set for London did indicate that we should have developments being carbon neutral to comply with national and international targets on carbon dioxide. So do you think we could go for some kind of carbon neutrality for the Games?
