  • Police Resources

    • Reference: 2013/0001
    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2013
    How do you intend to use police resources more efficiently over the next three years?
  • Safer Neighbourhood Teams

    • Reference: 2012/0039-2
    • Question by: Steve O'Connell
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2012
    Returning if I may to the effects, Commissioner, of the G4S ineptitude on the boroughs. I am pleased to hear your professional judgment that you expect perhaps no further draw or demand upon those resources, but clearly that remains to be seen as it plays out. However, I respect your opinion on that. Something that worries many residents is around the pressure on the Safer Neighbourhood Teams (SNT). The Mayor has given a commitment that the Safer Neighbourhood Teams will be staffed during this period. But remember they are starting from quite a low base at the moment, already the...
  • LOCOG

    • Reference: 2012/0042-2
    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2012
    When the last Government decided to set up LOCOG as a private company rather than a public agency, it was sold as a way of speeding up their procurement. After extensive questioning from all sides of this Assembly, it now appears that the motive may have been to escape the sort of standards of transparency that one would have expected from public bodies. Can you tell me, have you ever expressed dissatisfaction with the timing or quality of the information coming from LOCOG?
  • PCSOs

    • Reference: 2012/0020-2
    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 31 May 2012
    Richard Tracey (AM): I am grateful, Chair. Commissioner, this matter of PCSOs is really exercising the public of London. Obviously you have a lot more to do, but unfortunately there is a lot of misleading information out there and it is very good that you have, this morning, spelt out some of the reality. First of all you talked about the recruitment of new warranted officers from PCSOs which depleted the warranted officers but the main contact that the public seemed to have with the police, from the feedback I get, is when your fairly junior officers go out to...
  • Jack Lemley (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    I might have to ask elsewhere. Let us get it in context. We now know that he had expressed concerns - I think was your phrase - that the project was not on track. This is not a rogue member of the Board, this is the person who is the Chair of the Authority expressing those concerns. What specifically were the concerns that he raised?
  • Jack Lemley (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    Did you raise any of these concerns at meetings of the Board?
  • Jack Lemley (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    Certainly when we had the appearance in front of the Assembly in the summer, I think everyone went away thinking, `This is tremendous, everything is on track'. This now seems to bring the confidence that we all had into some question. How can you give us assurances that things really are on track?
  • Jack Lemley (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    Lord Rogers went on record last week criticising the process for the development of the stadium. He claims that the Mayor agrees with him. Does that not lend a tremendous amount of credibility to the fact that there are disputes going on already about the whole process?
  • Jack Lemley (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    Why do you think Mr Lemley gave one set of reasons for leaving London and then another set of reasons on the record, as we have just heard?
  • Jack Lemley (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Elizabeth Howlett
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    Thank you very much. Can I pursue the reasons for Mr Lemley leaving? It has been alleged in some media reports - and of course we have no insider knowledge so I say that these are allegations - that he was inclined to blur the edges between Chair and Chief Executive, which must have been very irritating for Mr Higgins. It is also alleged that he was quite happy to pursue some pecuniary interests and was hoping to recruit a rather obscure American company which turned out to be run by a relative. Again, I am saying these are allegations...
