Counter-terrorism

The right hon. Gentleman is obviously going a bit wider in his questioning. To me, it does not seem right to say that all the police's attention should be on this issue; we have a serious situation in Northern Ireland as well. At all times, we are balancing the risks. On the police reforms, I say to Opposition Members that we have seen a successful model in London with the Mayor, which the previous Government put in place. That is a system in which the police feel more accountable to an elected individual, and I look forward to extending that across the country.
