Sir Ian (Blair), you mentioned, I think it was first time I have heard it mentioned, that you appeared to concede that there is going to be a difference between Safer Neighbourhoods and non-Safer Neighbourhoods.

Except there's nothing more disillusioning for the residents of London who assiduously separate recyclable materials then to discover that those materials are in effect going straight to landfill. For example in the London Borough of Sutton, which turns out in fact to be the pariah of recycling authorities rather than allegedly the angel of recycling authorities, glass which is collected in the London Borough of Sutton goes directly to landfill.
