Jennette Arnold (AM): No, the Chairman has put this to us and raised it in his report.The only thing I was --James Cleverly (AM): Perhaps we can censor the Chairman from raising it in the wrongforum. This is not an MPA proposal.Jennette Arnold (AM): -- going to. If I can just finish, James Cleverly? The otherthing I was going to raise is that we --James Cleverly (AM): Chair, if I may?Steve O’Connell (AM): Wasting our time here.James Cleverly (AM): We have a number of questions and last meeting --Jennette Arnold (AM): Excuse me!James Cleverly (AM): -- we had to shoehorn a number of questions into a very shortperiod of time and --Steve O’Connell (AM): Absolutely.James Cleverly (AM): -- if this is not an MPA proposal, this is the not the right place todiscuss it --Victoria Borwick (AM): No, but, in fairness, the Chairman did raise it.Jennette Arnold (AM): Can I just finish the other point that I was going to make toyou? We have, over the past, had verbal reports of this length, which are very interesting.We used to get them from the Commissioner. We, as a body, have said, “Fabulous.Could we have that in a written paper?” because then you can take the thing away withyou. Can I ask, if you are going to give reports of this length in future, that you give usthe report in a paper form?Kit Malthouse (Chairman): Yes. We can do that. No problem at all.Jennette Arnold (AM): I think that that would be reasonable. Then the other pointabout your report, you did talk, and quite rightly, about the many officers who have beencommended. I would ask you to add ours - I am sure the MPA would buy in becausemany of them will have been at those local commendation ceremonies that are takingplace regularly where the brave officers in our boroughs receive the boroughsuperintendent’s commendation. I have been, in the last two months, to about four ofthem. Will you add that to your list of commendations --Kit Malthouse (Chairman): Of course.www.merrillcorp.com11
