Just some feedback I picked up on the very unfortunate rape in Regent's Park. It should really go the Commissioner, but as he is not here I will direct it to Stephen. There is a feeling that the policing of the Royal Parks is not a priority. Could you confirm that or not?

I have to start by saying that these were operational concerns that we had regarding the recent allegations made against the Metropolitan Police Service and the management performance of the Sapphire Unit. I will then have to start off by asking the Deputy Mayor does he feel that he is in a position to answer questions about the operation or functionality of the Metropolitan Police Service Sapphire Unit. If he is not, then basically I will have to pass on my question.

The other part of it we have touched on, London's diverse communities. You gave a reasonable answer to your position on equality and diversity in your confirmation hearing. However, given that one of the key areas of concerns within many of the ethnic minority communities is the relationship with the police, is about their operational activities, what is your thinking so far to date about where your positioning will be?

I had wanted to ask the Commissioner about police stations following what Stephen had said about how he was going to look at reviewing potential closure of police stations and the Mayor confirmed a change to his front counters policy, to find out what work is going on. But, Stephen, in your three weeks you have been there, what work have you discovered that has been going on in terms of selling the police estate across London?
