I did hear in your briefing that you mentioned an expansion or enhancement of three tube lines. Can I give you the opportunity now to expand on that? I am particularly interested in capacity on the District Line and whether, in fact, you have managed to separate the Northern Line, and whether this is going to be done under PPP or under some other financial arrangement. p

Thank you very much for that. Still we will not have an increased capacity on the District line, which is unbelievable to travel on in peak hours.

As link member for Bromley, I just wonder, Lord Harris, whether in fact you have the right information. The Chief Superintendent has managed to change the duty roster and he also has a charging unit for the sergeant that runs it so that when an officer comes in with an offender he is handed over to the charging unit.
