This is an incredibly difficult area because in fact you do not want to stop whistle-blowers. You do not want to stop the police officers who are reporting on illegal activities within the Metropolitan Police Service. You want them to come forward. At the same time, you do not want false allegations leaked. In the past, the Metropolitan Police Service has had incidents where that has happened and officers do not seem to have been published. We have the de Menezes stuff and we have the Tomlinson stuff. Metropolitan Police Service officers have got away with false allegations or false...

I wanted to bring us on to the topic of violence against women and children. I think you know that we are doing a piece of work on it at the moment. We have met with women's support organisations and so on, with a view to presenting that report to MOPAC and then having it feed into your update to the Mayor's strategy. That is all going fairly smoothly at the moment. I wanted to ask you in particular about two of the Mayor's pledges on domestic violence. One of them was that he has pledged to maintain the number...

I want to ask you some questions about undercover officers, Mr Mackey. I have been asking the Commissioner questions now since June and I finally got a letter on 23 October 2012 marked Confidential and Private. There was absolutely nothing private in there and absolutely nothing confidential. Basically, it was saying it could not answer certain questions of mine because of difficulties in exposing various practices and so on. I just do not believe that some of my questions are not able to be answered by the MPS and I will give you an example. Under which European or UK...

Thank you. You have just been talking about supervision, and of course supervision of undercover officers has been a problematic area. Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) did put a report together and made some recommendations. Have those been taken up by the Met?

Jenny Jones (Deputy Chair): Thank you. Mr Mackey, how many vans are there that you are going to -- Craig Mackey (Deputy Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police): Right across the Metropolitan Police Service? I do not have the exact figure. Jenny Jones (Deputy Chair): I am just wondering, roughly.

Jenny Jones (AM): I would like to go back to Tony's questioning, which I completely support. I think senior police officers are paid amply and could probably provide their own legal services. Perhaps we should go through all the evidence from the Leveson and work out what percentage of their answers are completely of non-public concern or where we are not liable to pay for them and we could claim our fees back. What do you think, Tony? Would you like to write to the Commissioner and suggest that? Anyway, getting back to the papers Tony Arbour (AM): I am...

Picking up on Kate (Green)'s point about more joined-up thinking on targets and so on, in linking with other strategies, in 2003 the GLA Consultation Tackling Poverty in London had a number of recommendations including the commitment to assess GLA policies and strategies for their contribution to poverty reduction and to produce an annual Poverty Monitoring Report on the success of GLA interventions. Can I ask John why these recommendations were not carried out?

So, the Mayor has new powers now on skills, and we've just heard that he is going to be playing a leading role in that. Can I ask the rest of the panel how you see that making a difference in terms of tackling poverty?

There's nothing wrong with leading questions, I think Kate (Green) very helpfully put it on the agenda; I am just exploring this line of inquiry.
