It is now the first anniversary of a directly elected police commissioner for London. What difference have Londoners noticed, and how have and will these new powers be exercised over policing in London?

I am going to start today and start by asking some questions about the MOPAC Challenge mechanism. The Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime has set up what he calls MOPAC Challenge, which is the principal mechanism through which the Mayor and Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime hold the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) and the top team to account. I believe earlier this month some performance targets were set as part of a 20-20-20 vision. Perhaps I can start, Mr Morley, with you. Could you just very briefly tell us what that 20-20-20 vision is?

Operation Terminus, I think if we can begin with MOPAC, I think you have had representations, the Refugee and Migrant Forum of East London has written to the Mayor around those issues. Do we happen to know what the Mayor's response to the letter from this group is?

Can I ask what that will mean for resource allocation across the piece? We often hear particularly from different boroughs and from the police that when targets come down centrally you go after one crime type and then others suffer. Can I ask Craig Mackey what these targets could mean for resource allocation to deal with issues that Fiona [Twycross] and we would raise, perhaps domestic violence? Would it mean that other areas would not get the same priority?

The last MOPAC Challenge in October identified the issues around a very rapid increase in volume of theft from the person in the boroughs. Given the period of time, and it was an annual comparison with the previous year, there has been an explanation, but have you had a chance to drill deeper into why this has occurred in that period of time?

I will happily join Jennette on Saturday as well. Can I firstly welcome the MPS' support of the ban promoted by Waltham Forest, though it is very late in the day. Is the real issue here not essentially that the MPS still does not think the EDL is part of the far right? We had Sir Paul Stephenson in September 2009, the then-Police Commissioner, suggesting to the MPA that the EDL is not viewed as an extreme right-wing group in the accepted sense?

Very quickly, on the compensation issue of any compensation paid, look, you are making massive cuts to our services here in London. I hope that you are going to recover any monies that have to be paid, if they are paid eventually, from the owner of this or from the Association of Chief Police Officers Terrorism and Allied Matters (ACPO TAM) who were meant to be supervising these officers. I do not think the MPS should be paying for that and I hope it is not going to be further cuts. We need to follow that and MOPAC needs to...

Joanne McCartney (Chair): Can we then move to our substantive item this morning, which is the question and answer session with the Mayor and Commissioner for the Metropolitan Police Service, and can I welcome you both here this morning. Obviously since we last met one of the major issues that has arisen has been allegations of racism within the Metropolitan Police Service, and perhaps I can start with you, Mr Mayor. Today you issued a press release saying that you were launching a review of measures introduced to eradicate racism within the Metropolitan Police Service. Four years ago you launched...

Navin Shah (AM): Mr Mayor, do you agree that, in all boroughs, the Safer Neighbourhood Teams are seriously depleted, and therefore the question I have for you is, what plans do you have to restore those Safer Neighbourhood Teams to their full capacity?

• Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
• Meeting date: 31 May 2012

Jennette Arnold (AM): Chair, we did, with your support, want to just raise the issue about violence against women and girls, especially the domestic violence promise which we welcome from the Mayor. The Mayor said in his 2012 manifesto, 'I will work with the Police, Boroughs, National Health Service, Home Office and the Crown Prosecution Service to commission and fund a pan-London domestic violence service and maintain the number of Independent Domestic Violence Advocates (IDVA).' Those are Independent Domestic Violence Advocates. Now, I have two pages of questions so clearly I will not be able to address those, Chair. If...
