I note that RAF Northolt is about to undergo a £45 million renovation - without local consultation - which could pave the way for it to become a fully-fledged regional commercial airport. Despite a cross party coalition of MPs, AMs and 3,000 people in West London demanding answers on the MoD's intentions at Northolt, there is still no sign that they are willing to hold a proper consultation.

Just following up on the points about spontaneous evacuation, as opposed to the formal evacuation plans, and if the plans to guide and inform people and all the rest of it did not work, could people expect formal restrictions on their movement in the event of a severe incident?

Would you agree that the BTP, CCTV systems, and communications systems on the Underground are actually an important part of protection, as well as evacuation plans?

I appreciate, Mr Messenger, you cannot answer for BTP, and BTP are not here today, and indeed, BTP do not have full control of their own resources, and that is an issue. Are you aware of any timetable for the conclusion of those discussions?
