The Greater London Authority Group Budget and Sustainable Development report (September 2007) concluded that 'the proposed cuts (to the Wildlife Crime Unit) could result in the loss of extremely valuable partnership and preventative initiatives as well as losing an essential central resource'. Do you agree that cuts to the Wildlife Crime Unit would undermine the environmental performance of the Metropolitan Police? Will you now agree to reverse the proposed cuts even if sponsorship funding does not materialize?

You can see from the questions that you have been asked today this is clearly a hot topic for us, and also, as politicians, we are very concerned about the issue of openness and the public knowing. So far this aspect has not been in the annual report, that is other information that I have. Is that not true?
