Chair, it is just a quick question, and it goes back I think to where Steve [O'Connell] started. Commissioner, what I just wanted to raise with you was, as well as the Olympics, and I welcome the assurances that you have given from where you are at the moment, it is summer time, even though it is so wet out there, and during this time there would normally be contingency plans for events that happen, certainly in some boroughs that I am familiar with, over that summer period. You would normally, I know in the boroughs I represent, they would...

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...

What are your greatest risks?

• Question by: John Biggs
• Meeting date: 08 December 2010

Just a quick question in my usual friendly fashion. Many of my constituents and a lot of Londoners will be very anxious that, particularly in the light of the events of the last week - and I know Lord Coe has commented on this already - that any perception that the ORN was some sort of bung to make it easy for rich men in blazers - in some cases corrupt men in blazers - to drive around London - would be very strongly resisted. Dee Doocey (Chair): Your question, Mr Biggs? John Biggs (AM): The question is here. Londoners...

We all wish heartily for a very successful Games but I hope you will understand, therefore, it is important to get the worries out and debated and sorted early in advance of the event itself. As you know the Transport Committee has been doing a scrutiny exercise. We are midway through it and we are due to see you in the New Year. I wanted to put to you some of the worries that seem to be coming up through that process that we need to be resolved. London's councils were very unhappy about the lack of sharing of detailed...

John, I want to follow up on my colleague's, Val Shawcross', questions and I want to add the concerns of many of my constituents who, as you know, live in Hackney, Islington and Waltham Forest. I can assure you that, although we can sit here gladly talking about traffic orders and the discussions there, what they are concerned about and what they want to know as soon as possible - and they should be knowing now - is will the orders be over 40 days and nights? I have put that figure together in terms of the Games, the gap...

The question is about climate change as a risk; two different aspects of it. One the risk to London's carbon footprint because, however much you are making savings, you are still increasing the carbon. I would like some figures. The second one is the risk of extreme weather events.
