I have spoken with the Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime with regard to collocation of emergency service provision in London. In the intervening period, the Deputy Commissioner obviously put out some ideas about some fairly major, fairly significant changes in the headquarters element of the estate plan. Could you expand a little bit about where you envisage some of those kind of senior management or centralised management functions being physically located and what thoughts you had given to sharing real estate with other emergency and public services in terms of locating those?

Well, these are questions that arise from issues and it is really for both of you. I am very concerned, and I have raised the question with the Mayor on a couple of occasions, about the increasing percentage of matters that do not go to trial. Your officers spend a great deal of time, a great deal of expense, catching criminals, banging them up, getting them charged, and then the matter does not go to trial. For example, in London there is a gap between cracked trials and trials, which, for some other reason, do not go ahead because they...

The Merseyside Independent Sexual Violence Adviser (ISVA) scheme is promoted in the Home Office's Review of Effective Practice in Responding to Prostitution and resulted in: a 400% increase the number of women willing to give full details when reporting criminals to the police; 83% of those charged with offences against prostitutes being convicted; and 95% of the women involved, exiting prostitution. Will you look into the options for implementing the Merseyside ISVA scheme throughout London?

I would like to take us back to civil liberties. In view of the various reports that have come out and following on from the comments that have been asked on community cohesion, I am a little concerned and want your reassurance that the police will still support the public's right to public protest while not, of course, condoning violence.

Commissioner, it is pleasing to hear from you your commitment to safer neighbourhoods and Safer Neighbourhood Teams. My feedback to you is that they are something that are massively important to Londoners and there has been an immense amount of credit built up over the last half a dozen, eight years, with the evolution of them. First of all I want to explore your thoughts around the future and how you see Safer Neighbourhood Teams balanced with maintaining response teams balanced with back office duties. The commitment is there from you and I would like you to repeat it again...
