Len Duvall AM: Mr Mayor, in the past you have said that you would wish to see the increase in the proportion of TfL’s budget spent on cycling.

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.
