David Kurten AM: Thank you, Chair. Mr Mayor, in your answer to Assembly Member Bailey, you made reference to cuts to the grant to the police service in London from the Home Office, but we all know that that has been mitigated by an increase in retained business rates that you have. Why did you not make any mention of that and why have you not used the increase in retained business rates that you have, which you can spend on anything, to maintain police numbers as they were?
