Just a technical supplementary: you said that the freehold remains with the public sector, with TfL. Can you summarise for us the extent of the leasing arrangements, in terms of the practical day to day ownership and control of the stations? I am interested in this `capturing the development gain" point.

I am simply wondering how Mr O'Toole would ensure that any surplus generated by developing Tube assets is not taken away from the Tube and reinvested in the rest of the transport network. Your opening comment was that you wanted to see such assets developed to improve the Tube, but there is always a risk that they will be taken away and spent on buses, for example. Is that an issue for you, or are you a corporate player who is happy to sacrifice the Tube for the greater good of London?

I am bothered by Camden, where it is opposed by practically everybody including the Civic Society, the Architects' Forum, and all the residents and businesses there.

: With the recent ricin incident in Wood Green, my understanding is that - I'm not sure about the local authority - but the police commander and the Chair of primary health trust, both had a delay of something like 24 hours after the incident before they were even informed of what was happening. My question is at what point in that was the Fire Service aware?

Well, was that 24 hours after it was first announced?

I understand, okay. Because I understood there was a confusion with an intervention from Downing Street. I just want to be assured that there was no confusion over this, because the people in Haringey were obviously anxious when they heard about it. But that was after this confusion had been solved.

How many incidents are there in a year, which are fireworks-related, and what proportion of the total number of incidents dealt with by the Fire Service is that? Is it possible to divide those incidents between those that are related to official or organised displays, and those which are, if you like, private individuals playing with fire?
