I think what has come out from this discussion is that such a big decision needed a period of consultation - not a long period, please God, but a swift one - so that people could understand. That did not happen. To be absolutely clear, you are saying that the police took the decision to stop it, without proper consultation, rather than TfL?

You have dealt with what I was going to ask you to some extent, because I was going to raise the Rotherhithe Tunnel as a potential problem. Has there been an increase of traffic using the tunnel as a result of what has happened at Blackwall?

Did you see the BBC TV pictures of Hainault Depot - this is the depot which has the highest number of security breaches - which showed sections of fencing held together with string? You may say it was high security string, but it was string! Will you carry out an audit of the physical protective devices to make sure they are appropriate?

Mr Pope does make a serious point. Do you know which of the depots are the ones where we have the worst problems?

The real concern is the number of people who can break into the tube network in overnight situations when you claim to have alarm systems and CCTV cameras. I do not know if you have dogs. People are getting in, causing damage, and there have been incidents of theft. We do know it would be possible to plant an explosive device on a train. Can you assure Londoners that you are satisfied with what LU has been doing?

There was an incident shortly after Christmas where two trespassers were killed at Barking. What did London Underground learn from that?

So how do you explain the escalation of security breaches, which more than doubled in 2006?

Indeed, there is a lot of potential there. Finally, because the boroughs, through London Connects, are looking at a whole range of things using smart card technology - whether it is library or swimming pool usage and indeed the culture card with access to arts facilities and so forth - so there is a lot of potential to get added value by linking in with activities that the boroughs are doing. So will you again commit to work with the boroughs, if necessary, to get this off the ground?

Free guns with every plastic bag recycled - that is not what I have in mind! Can I ask you how much money you are prepared to put behind it, because obviously the commitment in the Food Strategy - Jenny [Jones] I see has had to leave us - was to establish a pilot sustainable healthy reward card scheme in London, and that I think had a budget attached to it? So what sort of feasibility budgets are you looking at?
