Yes, we have just got a few questions about Operation Condor, and I think my colleague, Andrew, has some questions about this as well. Deputy Commissioner, you recently carried out the operation in my corner of town in Havering and Redbridge, I think you arrested one person in Havering and nobody in Redbridge. How do you judge the impact of a large-scale operation like that against the resource costs?

I think my colleagues may have picked some of the cherries out of this by the time I got here. Just to explore the targets, first of all, Deputy Commissioner, let us talk about the culture that target-setting creates. How do you make sure that the targets which you set drive performance and measure performance rather than create incentives to do things that we would not want people to do, make people focus in the wrong direction or even dare I say it fabricate results?

Obviously you have quite a bit of flexible working between boroughs and within your own service. Are you looking at more flexible working with shared services involving the other emergency services?

I have been briefed by both my borough commanders, although they did not let me take the documents away unlike some other people, so practice has varied from place to place. However, I am pleased with the liaison I have had with my guys. I just wanted to ask a bit more about the future structure for managing boroughs. As someone who represents two boroughs, actually, I can see an attractiveness in having one person who is the go-to for policing for me in those two boroughs. I do not think that should be sacrosanct. However, below that structure, are...

This is another of those cases I am afraid where there has been leakage in some parts of town and there are protests already springing up around various sites and people are hearing different things. Obviously, we appreciate you have a difficult job to do. I had one case at Wanstead where the police station was actually closed ten years ago and opened again because it was found to be necessary. I guess my question to you is how will you make sure in this strategy that you do not find yourself in a situation again where something is closed...

Yes, thank you, Chair. Can I ask the Deputy Mayor, in the light of the PC Harwood episode, are you now satisfied with the vetting procedures for employees of the Metropolitan Police Service?

Boris, a large number of my constituents use the buses to get around boroughs like Havering and Redbridge because the rail links tend to be radial into town. So the announcement you have made today about the progress you are requesting towards resolving the strike is very welcome and I am sure they will be happy to hear that statement. But do you not share my surprise that the unions who were spending July campaigning for large amounts of money for working in the Olympics spent April campaigning for a candidate who was promising to slash public transport fares?

Roger Evans (AM): Can I welcome Mr Hendy's comments about the changing approach to disability access to buses. Certainly, back in that period 2001 to 2005, I was pointing out that wheelchair access was not, necessarily, the same thing as access for people with disabilities, and the removal of seats was far more harmful to people who needed a seat. Will that process now be changed for other public transport vehicles such as trains? We have seen the removal of seats in recent years and it is a big problem to the increasingly elderly population?
