I wanted to pick up on the working practices matters that have already been raised and make two points really, the first of which is I think that maybe some people don't actually realise how tied in we are to the national agreements on these workings practices. Do you feel that the Fire Executive at the LGA is the best way to pursue some of the frankly dodgy practices that are around? Are other fire authorities making similar moves through the LGA, perhaps you could tell us? It amazes me how the fire service has this down the line division...

Following up from several things that have been raised really and, as you may recall, smoke alarms are an issue very dear to my heart: One thing that concerns me around the education work is doing the follow-ups. I can't remember which council it is, but I recall that one of the councils in South Wales fitted smoke alarms in all their social housing, went back a year later and 80% of them didn't have the batteries in. Croydon are obviously to be commended for what they're doing but will that type of follow-up work be happening? The other thing...

Thank you for that. You mentioned the use of travel pass, but is it not the case that on the riverboats Travel Card holders only actually get a one-third reduction and surely there would be better use of the service if the riverboats counted in on the travel pass, the same as the buses and tubes. Would that not encourage more people to use the service?

So do you see the riverboat system more as for tourists then, than for the use of regular commuters, which, if you do, I think is rather a shame when that would be a useful addition to the congestion charging strategy, to encourage people to use the riverboats. I believe back as far as 1993 there were about 3,000 people using the riverboats every day when there were more heavy subsidies than we get at the moment.
