Equally, Mr Mayor, the relationship is such that TfL, you control the fare box. So, if the bus drivers are having to help accommodate another 800,000 people on the buses every day during the Olympics, then that funding does come back I think to TfL. So clearly there is a responsibility for a service you commission, but I am encouraged by what you have had to say, Mr Mayor and Peter, and I just hope that you do not leave it there and think that you have acquitted your responsibility.

While I congratulate both borough commanders from my constituency in securing promotions, they will both be much missed. How will you ensure continuity of the excellent work that has been done in Lambeth and Southwark by the outgoing commanders during the recruitment process for their successors?
