Moving on, can I add to Tony Arbour's point. Of course, your intervention in my constituency in South Camden was most welcome and has been a real fillip to the community down there in South Camden who realised that, with you as Mayor, their issues on street crime will be taken seriously.

On the subject of security at stations, are you aware, Commissioner, of the security problem of criminals fitting scanning devices on chip and pin machines at our tube station? We have had two at West Finchley in the last few weeks. They seem to have moved on from banks to tube stations. Will you be taking appropriate action? Sally Hamwee (Chair): I think the question is, 'and will you make sure it does not go onto the London Overground?' Brian Coleman (Deputy Chairman): Indeed.

What are TfL's intentions with regard to the bus stops on Falloden Way, given that you changed the layout against the advice of the London Borough of Barnet and the wishes of local residents, and have now taken them out of service for safety reasons? Will you now accept that the original decision was wrong?
