Len Duvall AM: Thank you very much. My question is to John Barradell. In the first lockdown, it is quite clear that local authorities played a major role, albeit with some mixed messages coming from central Government about what they should be doing or not doing. What is different in the second wave in terms of some of the issues they were performing in getting food and prescriptions to people? You might identify other gaps in support that were taking place in the first lockdown.

Len Duvall AM: My question is to John Barradell. John, you are not attending this meeting in your role as Chief Executive of the City of London. You have rather a special role in London. What I do not understand - and I have seen various bits in the press - is why we need a Transition Board. What is the real reason for it? I still do not understand. Did something go wrong in the first wave, or is it just this is the best way forward in terms of dealing with the pandemic in this second phase?

A question to the Commissioner. Just earlier on, and I apologise for arriving late, but I heard you, in terms of you answering the questions on the milestones. I want to take you back to the Olympic security issue. Of course in July when they indicated they could not fulfil the contract, that is quite a clear milestone. You mentioned before in the autumn of 2011 the jump from 3,000 odd to 10,000.

Can we just look at learning lessons and really I suppose the aspect of privatisation, which is another side of policing activities in terms of what has happened with some of your neighbouring services. I really have two questions to you both, but if I can begin with the Commissioner. On a webcast on 21 June, I think you have a fairly fixed view about privatisation, about the limits of it, where to put it within the police activities and where not. Do you describe core activities ... you do not really see privatisation doing patrolling, issues of police investigations...
