  • Dissolution of LFEPA

    • Reference: 2015/3981
    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 02 December 2015
    In light of the similar responses from the Mayor, Assembly and Fire Authority to the Government's consultation 'Enabling closer working between the Emergency Services', what impact do you envisage the dissolution of LFEPA and the establishment of a Deputy Mayor for Fire and Emergency Planning would have on the London Fire Brigade?
  • LFEPA Cuts and the Safety of Londoners (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 02 December 2015
    Richard Tracey AM: First of all, Commissioner, you have dealt to some extent with this question of ward-level response, but can I ask you a straight question? Is it actually practical to talk about ward-level calculations? Is that really a practical point in the nature of firefighting or do you have to look over a wider area than simply a ward of - whatever it is - 10,000 people?
  • New Technology (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 02 December 2015
    Roger Evans AM: Commissioner, the MPS is currently conducting some very positive trials with body‑worn cameras. Would you see any use for that type of technology within the LFB?
  • Review process of LDA funding

    • Reference: 2008/0007
    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Yes. I would like to know exactly how you carried out your investigation; for example, did you interview the whistleblower, Brenda Stern, as to the allegations which she made and which were repeated in the Evening Standard?
  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Understood. Then, quite separately, as you also point out in your report, there is a separate police investigation into the Green Badge Taxi School which you are cooperating with?
  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [13]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Yes, thank you very much, so that is an internal review. Your conclusions in the report, which I have read and which were submitted to the LDA Board, really put it in these terms, do they not, as Mike Tuffrey has said; in a nutshell, of the six you concentrated on, four require further work, three of those specifically involve the police and we do not know whether Brixton Base will involve the police or not because it is too early to say yet; you need to do further work. Is that a fair conclusion?
  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [15]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    But none of the organisations have received grants?
  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [17]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Mr Travers, you have already made it clear, and I think it follows, that you did not speak to people who are not employees of the LDA. Does that mean you did not speak to Mr Jasper?
  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [19]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    So, two thirds of the six you concentrated on require further work. You make the point in your report, 'Further work is required in respect of four organisations including referral to police and no conclusions are reached in respect of those matters' for the reasons you have sensibly set out?
  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [23]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Have you referred it then fully to the District Auditor and said, 'We think there is further work that needs to be done'?
