Wouldn't a case to look at be some kind of arrangement with the River Police and the Fire Boat Service? This was a matter I raised at the first ordinary business meeting of the Assembly, and at that time the Mayor said that he thought it was a jolly good idea; indeed it is his longest standing commitment which he hasn't actually fulfilled. He said he would investigate it. This now seems an opportune moment for revisiting this. Will you do that?

I am very reassured by that, Mr Bishop. If the bid is successful in April or May, whenever the Government is going to take the decision now, there will be a procurement process. And this is specialist equipment that takes a significant time. You don't just get them off the shelves in your local B&Q. I wonder if we have any timescale for when we will be fully up to strength.
