Can I ask the Commissioner, in relation to community fire safety, your views on the sale of fireworks? I have had a number of complaints from constituents over the availability of fireworks in supermarkets.

Do you share concerns of a number of us on the easy availability, in supermarkets in particular, of fireworks?

I am perhaps expressing myself badly. I think what I was told by one of my residents was that the reason for the excellent response time on 7 July was in part luck because we had fire officers returning from an earlier incident, which meant they were they returning and free to go straight out.

I look forward to having those figures but if I could just ask one more time ' I am just wondering if that is as good as it always was or whether there has been any change at all. That is what I want to know.

Obviously as I represent some of the central parts of London, I hear what you say about the fact that there has been a benefit to outer boroughs in terms of getting there speedily, but obviously any loss of minutes for central London is something I would have to view with some concern.

When do you anticipate that the Fire House in Southwark will be fully operational again following the fire which occurred there in January 2005? Is real fire training for London Fire Brigade personnel suffering due to the non-availability of the Fire House? With hindsight, do you wish you had abandoned the Fire House project when you took over responsibility from the former fire authority in 2000?
