    • Reference: 2014/4962
    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    With ever reducing budgets can the Metropolitan Police Service meet current and future policing needs?

  • Meeting London’s Current and Future Policing Needs (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    Thank you. My question now then is to the Mayor, if I may. When the cuts to policing were first announced three-odd years ago, there were reports and in this Chamber many people warned that anything above a 12% cut to policing would affect the frontline. You said then that the MPS could make 20% at that point without affecting the frontline. I think we have seen the frontline being affected by those 20% cuts. Mr Mayor, can I just put it to you that we have heard about the risks to the future. Is it fair to say, do...

  • Meeting London’s Current and Future Policing Needs (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Tom Copley
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    I want to raise with you the issue of tenants who were threatened with eviction from MOPAC-owned homes, some of whom were in fact evicted. I was pleased to see that the vast majority of those now will not be. Your Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime [Stephen Greenhalgh], who I see has just joined us, having reversed his own decision to evict people. I raised this with you back in March, the whole issue of tenants being evicted from Raynesfield in Wimbledon. Why did you not step in then when you had the chance, rather than sitting back while...

  • Meeting London’s Current and Future Policing Needs (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Andrew Dismore
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    A question for the Mayor, really. I want to pick up from where Sir Bernard left off on the issue of abstractions. Boris Johnson (Mayor of London): Yes. Andrew Dismore AM: In February 2013, Sir Bernard told the Police and Crime Committee that he had set a target of no more than 5% of officers’ working time on abstractions, but in July of this year, total abstractions across London in terms of total of hours worked was 17%, more than three times the target. What that translates to is quite serious. In Barnet, for example, in the six months to...

  • Transport Investment

    • Reference: 2013/0014-1

    • Meeting date: 24 July 2013
    What are your top priorities for transport investment in London?

  • Relationship with Mayor's Office

    • Reference: 2010/0072-1
    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 21 July 2010
    How do you see the relationship between your department and the Mayor's office differing from that under the previous government and what prospect do you see for greater devolution to the Mayor and Assembly?

  • Devolution to the GLA and Boroughs (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 21 July 2010
    We are really talking about the Mayor's wants. Are there Government wants? You have outlined the Government vision around devolution and on the NHS strategic functions that are being taken back into Government and obviously Ministers will want to take stock. Is there not a case that some of those strategic aspects carried out by the Strategic Health Authority for London should not come under the Mayor's ambit? Is there any thinking about that going on in Government at this stage, or if not at this stage, at some stage in the future?

  • Planning (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Nicky Gavron
    • Meeting date: 21 July 2010
    My first point is that in thinking abut the London Plan in relation to boroughs and in relation to the point made by Roger Evans about consultation, I think if one is not very careful, the time will be taken up with consultation. That is what takes time - consulting. I just want to point out that we had nearly 1,000 responses to this London Plan, which is three times as many as the previous London Plan, which shows that something is working around consultation. The second point is a strategic point. It is really important for us to be...

  • Planning (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 21 July 2010
    Minister, there is quite a geographical expansion of the Mayor's powers with the Port of London Authority (PLA), going into the Thames Estuary. I just wanted to know whether it was the intention, or is the intention, to get the Mayor involved in planning issues to deal with wind farms, changing shipping channels or even airports. Is that the thrust of this? I just want to know where we are going with this.

  • Relationship with Mayor's Office (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 21 July 2010
    I have got a question about planning and the historic environment. We are just running out of time so I think the best way forward, Bob, is if I could invite you to join me in visiting the historic site of Shakespeare's first theatre. This is not in south London as people would think, but in Shoreditch. Why I would like you to do that is that you will then see the importance about planning at a local level, but also the need for some assurance to be given that a site like that could be preserved. I am just...
