Is the commissioner concerned by some of the findings in the Metropolitan Police Federation survey "Lessons from the front line" and will they be acting on officers concerns?

Good morning Commissioner. From my own point of view I was quite happy to see we have a Commissioner that will be on the front line. From your letters I have read through and your comments today, a no nonsense gentleman in charge of our police force. I have two questions I would like to put to you. I was going to ask them after the next question but I think they are more appropriate now as much as the next question to follow. According to a poll that has been carried out, 72% of Londoners believe the Metropolitan Police...

What representations has the Chairman made to the Mayor about the use of LFEPA's large financial reserves?

Can I echo James Cleverly's remarks from our side in terms of the support and praise to the whole service during the course of the recent events. Chair, if I can deal with that aspect first - the first part of James' [Cleverly] question - then move on to mine specifically in a moment. The Chairman referred to the Enfield Sony depot fire, but can I ask the Commissioner, given the references in the previous questioning - that I know you heard - to the fires in Tottenham and in Croydon on Monday night and the iconic image of fires...

After all we hear that emergency services are constantly under attack, from nurses, doctors, fire workers, police, all of this going on, it is a technical question. Outside of the appliances that the London Fire Brigade has, which are static in the sense they rely upon groundwater resource for the purpose of their functioning, how many units are there in London that are mobile water dispensers or water fighters in the sense they carry their own water supply with them?

I think pretty much everyone has made comments on what has taken place, commending the police activity, but there is one situation. When the police, nationwide and in the MPS, are faced with social networking on football hooliganism or on certain political activities, they have sufficient information gathered over a ten-year period to move in there, undercover or uniform, and stop this. So, you are still suggesting there are not enough workings within the MPS to be able to work out the activity of social networking?

): I am sure Members will have detailed questions on that wider experience and the work you are doing to keep the capital moving and so forth. All that good work though will be lost if the message does not get out that the wider Games experience has been a success. So I just wanted to start by concentrating on the narrow but important point of the non-accredited media and your arrangements around that, and I am sure the Members will widen it from there. As I understand it, there is about 20,000 or so expected on the accredited side...

Thank you, Chair. I would like to take a step back as we look towards legacy. We are all aware in this Chamber that the host boroughs of east London are some of the poorest locations in the capital. 70,000 unemployed adults are in the seven east London boroughs that neighbour the Olympic site. I am looking at the foundations of a legacy. How is it possible to truly call this a legacy when, at this moment in time, of the 5,381 employed people on the site, only 20% are from the five hosting boroughs and 48% are non-British? This...

Can I touch on the sustainability assurance aspects. The Commission for a Sustainable 2012 does not just do the construction and the staging of the Games, it includes legacy, albeit that process is going to come to an end in about 2013. The first question, for the record, is do you welcome that scrutiny and will you cooperate fully with the Commission for a Sustainable 2012 for the legacy aspects?

I wanted to look at the housing side of what you are doing and dig into the finances behind that will underpin the proportions between social affordable, owner occupied and, indeed, private rented possibly. When you were here last time we talked a lot about the remediation and the 60 centimetres and the impact of switching to the housing that you gave us the pictures for where there is a garden at the back. Can you update us on your financial modelling about the additional costs that are associated with remediation for family sized housing and how that impacts the...
