Commissioner, can I say on behalf of my constituents how grateful we were to firefighters who attended at Clapham Junction in Battersea. Indeed, yesterday, Jane Ellison, the Member of Parliament for Battersea, was visiting the Battersea firefighters at the station. I would have been there too had I not been here on Transport Committee duties. My question is first of all to the Chairman. Do you share my impatience and frustration at Navin Shah's question to you about the budget and the potential budget of LFEPA, when it is so skilfully managed by Councillor Maurice Heaster from Wandsworth and the...

Can I just go back to Commissioner Dobson and can I add my congratulations to you for your years of service to London. It is the hymn sheet that your borough commanders are speaking from that concerns me.

Let us go onto the second part of this session and let us welcome our colleague, Mr Coleman, who is here in his role as Chairman of London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority (LFEPA).

This is a question for the Chairman. I hope, Mr Chairman, you will not be taking any lessons on budgeting from the former Leader of Harrow Council, Mr Shah when, as I understand it, the budgets in Harrow got into some serious disarray in the period of 2005/06 and so, surely you need some wiser counsel.

I wonder if the Chairman - presumably it is for the Chairman this one - could bring us up to speed a bit more on the Heritage Protection Bill and the ramifications of it for the Fire Brigade and fire stations because, as I understand it, when some places are listed it is possible to get government grants to bring them up to the standard required or, indeed, to renovate them, but in other cases it is not. So what is the situation with fire stations which must produce a great problem for LFEPA.
