The question, if I can start to the Deputy Commissioner, it is regarding the English Defence League (EDL) march planned for 27 October 2012, this Saturday coming, and its impact on the borough. It is planning to march in Waltham Forest, a borough I represent, its impact on Islington, the neighbouring borough, I also represent, but the other boroughs affected are Tower Hamlets and Newham. I wonder if the Deputy can just give us an update, knowing that the Metropolitan Police Service has now joined others, I have to say, from my point of view, a bit late in the...

Deputy, we know that a letter has gone from the Commissioner [Bernard Hogan-Howe] to local authorities with a document attached that sets out proposals about how savings might be made, including looking at management costs, supervision ratios and a number of areas. It also sets out a new model in policing terms and makes reference to a basic command unit which will vary in size and shape. Are you able to just help us with your definition about what a basic command unit is?

Yes, Chair, thank you for that. I just wanted to clarify, and it is the point that Jenny has made. To so many people, when we talk about deaths in police custody, we include deaths associated with police contact. The public does not get into the sophistication of whether somebody died in the cell, it is if the police are there and they have arrested somebody or they have something to do with it and a death occurs, then that really is what is so alarming to us generally, to us all. If I could go specifically to members of...

I want to focus on the North London Line, which is absolutely important for London but also crucial for the constituency I represent, Hackney, Islington and Waltham Forest. If we just look at the Hackney and Islington part of it, you can see why we welcome the ambitions and the funding that are being proposed for the North London Line. Can you repeat what you were saying about your meeting with the Department for Transport? Are you saying that you were discussing a plan B, for instance, if the Railway Bill does not make it? What sort of timescales were...

With the North London Line, if you were just able to extend the platform that would give us longer trains and you would then be able to deal with the overcrowding.

Continuing with the theme that they will do the right thing, which we hope they will, what benefits will my constituents, who rely on the North London Line, be able to see once TfL takes responsibility for this part of the network? Can you re-affirm your commitment to the 'turn-up-and-go' way of operating that I read was one of your ambitions?

You told us earlier about the constraints of funding and how much the infrastructure improvement is dependent on that, which I think we all understand. However, in terms of raising future revenues, do you agree with the quote in the Evening Standard, a couple of days ago I think, from your board colleague, Professor Stephen Glaister that, `In future years Congesting Charging has to be a key revenue generator'?

How will you ensure that the needs of workers are fully taken into account as part of the consultation on starting and finishing the tube later at weekends? ... What alternative transport option will be available to the current 55,000 people who use the Tube during the first hour of operation over the weekend? There are other questions related to that, so perhaps you can give me a quick answer and then a long answer by mail.
