Let us move on to the drug intervention programme. Obviously you are having the budget for this devolved from the Home Office. It is a considerable sum of money. How are you going to manage the programme?

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...

Perhaps I can move to the Police and Crime Plan, and thank you, Deputy Mayor, for sending us the headline document. I think at the moment, until there is great meat on the bones, there is very little we can feedback at the moment, so we look forward to doing that in the New Year. Could I just make and observation and ask one question. You talked about accountability earlier, police accountability. There is nothing in this document about accountability, so I think that is a major issue that needs to go in there. Also, I think MOPAC's accountability, particularly...

It is very simply stated that we have a commitment from the Mayor's Chief of Staff about the quality and quantity of financial information we will be receiving and it should not diminish. My exhibits are (a) Police and Crime Committee monthly report, one paragraph of financial information, which says I think diddly-squat is the accounting term, and (b) is MPA Finance Committee, Resources Committee, same time last year, 24-page report with tables with accurate information on the departures from the budget. That seems to me to be a bit of a departure from Sir Edward [Lister]'s undertaking. If I...

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...

What do you see as your immediate priorities and what is your initial impression of the Metropolitan Police Service and its structures and the challenges?

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?

John Biggs (AM): One specific question, then a more general one. The specific one is, where are we now with the discussions on the funding of the Kirkin and Withern pieces of work (dedicated operations for responding to public disorder)?

The other part of it we have touched on, London's diverse communities. You gave a reasonable answer to your position on equality and diversity in your confirmation hearing. However, given that one of the key areas of concerns within many of the ethnic minority communities is the relationship with the police, is about their operational activities, what is your thinking so far to date about where your positioning will be?
