  • Use of Statistics (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    Thank you. Can I turn to another set of statistics which I know that quite a number of your officers are busy out today collecting across London? I myself saw a census point as I came to work and I know other colleagues have seen them as well. We are not due a national census for another two or three years as I understand it, so what is this census as a result of which so many of your officers are involved in pulling cars over this morning?

  • Automatic Number Plate Recognition (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    So, what you are saying is there is the will, there is the money, and you are actually going to go ahead and roll out a programme?

  • Automatic Number Plate Recognition (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    Just as a matter of interest, have you got a figure for the cost for conducting an ANPR operation over a 12-hour period?

    It would be interesting to know.

  • Use of Statistics (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    There are several around Westminster and Victoria. My question would be, were that to be the case, is it, do you think, an appropriate use of police time and is it particularly appropriate to start pulling people in at peak hours? I went past at about 7.45 am.

    TfL?

  • Use of Statistics (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    Could I also then find out what the cost would be of the number of people you have used, how much it has actually cost? Thank you very much.

  • Incidence and Nature of Poverty in London (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    I appreciate that the widely used definition of the poverty line is 60% of the median income. How was that originally arrived at, and is that an absolutely fixed definition?

  • Incidence and Nature of Poverty in London (Supplementary) [15]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    No, no, indeed, because I think that is an important point, because I think that in the mindset of the public it is confusing when you hear that x percent of people in London are technically living at or below the poverty line. I wondered if that definition would still be applicable if the median income rose considerably in London. One might feel that the definition was less, then, to do with poverty. I suppose I am asking you: are we talking about relative poverty as opposed to absolute poverty?

  • Role of Education, Training & Employment in Lifting People out of Poverty (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    One of the things that you have not really talked about in your answers is that while we bandy around this expression, `learning and skills', nobody actually defines precisely what skills are actually going to do the trick, and help deliver some of the solutions. Am I right in thinking that one of the skills that we need to put much more focus on, if we are going to get more people into work and skilled up, is language in this city of ours. The question - really for Mr Faulkner - is whether he finds that languages do provide...
