    Thank you, Chair, and in some ways Richard's (Barnes) question has stolen my thunder, and the exchanges just now, but I just want to really relay as well that I think, actually, an important factor in countering the terrorist threat to London is community relations, and that we will always have to be on top of that, whatever the state of the actual threat itself.

  • Terrorism Threat to London (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Graham Tope
    • Meeting date: 15 June 2005
    ): I recall two or three years ago, David Veness (former Assistant Commissioner, Specialist Operations, MPS) saying that his biggest problem was the management of complacency, and both of you this morning have referred to that. In that context, how do we know, and how can we convince people, whether the lack of a terrorist incident is due to the success of the anti-terrorist measures or whether the threat is actually being exaggerated, perhaps in the competition for scarce resources?
