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?

Personally, I want to use my Oyster Card to let me into this building. I often find myself using it on the pads here, so if it acted as a security pass here, it would make my life a lot easier! I think there is an interesting case study in Rotterdam and maybe that is worth sending to the working group you have established at TfL and to the Liberal Democrats. Maybe some other Assembly Members would want to get involved as well.

I am very happy to enter into `nasty coalitions', as you put them, that achieve results for Londoners. This is certainly an idea that has merit, so I will certainly take up that offer which is why we have been doing the work. Are you prepared to work with the necessary commercial partners to make this possible? You will be aware that obviously with the Oyster, while it is, as it were, a brand of TfL, it is a commercial partnership that runs it, and that any scheme that had a wider applicability than the pure transport aspects would need...

Have you seen sight of a plan I gave you last week which takes that concept broader and indeed links it with commitments that you have also given in relation to the Food Strategy to look at a rewards scheme there? Do you have an initial view on the ideas that I have been working up?
