  • Safer Transport Initiatives

    • Reference: 2008/0017-1
    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 03 December 2008
    How effective have your safer transport initiatives been at reducing crime and anti-social behaviour on public transport?

  • Numbers of Police Officers (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 03 December 2008
    Some police officers within the service are definitely in danger of losing the roles that they do now. They are members of the Metropolitan Police Trafficking Unit whose funding has been stopped by the Home Office; some £2.3 million. We have a motion on the agenda later today asking for support for that unit and I believe it will get cross-party support. Will you, Mr Mayor, make sure the money is available in the budget to carry on the unit's good work? It is £2.3 million, which is not a great amount when you consider the overall budget of the...

  • Safer Transport Initiatives (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 03 December 2008
    Richard Tracey (AM): Can I say that the indications to me from my constituents is that they are absolutely overjoyed by the Safer Transport Teams and the effectiveness that they are having, and well done to the Metropolitan Police Service for providing them. My question is, to what extent are the Safer Transport Teams able to work very closely with the British Transport Police and also to respond to the live CCTV (closed-circuit television) coverage of some of the buses, particularly? The other thing is can you explain to me how many of the teams are equipped with the small...

  • Safer Transport Initiatives (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 03 December 2008
    Whilst there is great rejoicing in my constituency over the TOCU PCSOs, some areas of my constituency, I am thinking for example of the Kentish Town ward, an area of significant crime, there are currently no PCSOs at all, for all sorts of reasons to do with vacancies, sickness and everything else. I suspect this is not the only ward in London in this position. Have we got a problem with PCSO recruitment, or is this a problem reserved for the Camden Town ward of Camden?

  • Oral Update (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 03 December 2008
    Can I ask how often you have been called in shore up leaks in the workings of Government and how often the Metropolitan Police is used for that?

  • Oral Update (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: James Cleverly
    • Meeting date: 03 December 2008
    Thank you, Chair. Mr Mayor, it is quite clear the implication that a number of members opposite are trying to make in their line of questioning. Rather than dancing around the issue and trying to muddy water, I would like to ask you a very explicit question, which I think is the question that they were trying to ask. Have you shared any operationally sensitive material that you may have received in your capacity as Chair of the MPA with Damian Green MP?

  • Oral Update (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 03 December 2008
    This is a question for the Acting Commissioner. Acting Commissioner, various of my constituents have reminded me that one of the platforms on which we were elected to the Assembly in May was common sense policing in London. Can I put it to you, would you consider the definition of 'common sense policing' to include the infringement of deeply entrenched centuries old constitutional privileges of a Member of the House of Commons?

  • Oral Update (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 03 December 2008
    Can I welcome the decision to set up an urgent review of what has happened so far, to report back within the next couple of weeks? Can I invite the Commissioner to share the terms of reference of that review with us?

  • Oral Update (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 03 December 2008
    This is a question for the Chairman of the Police Authority. Do you not think that in the Green matter the Commissioner was between a rock and a hard place? Whatever he did was going to be seen to be wrong. By acting in the way he did he has been seen as the tool of the Government. Had he not acted in that way he would have been seen to be protecting a Conservative Member of Parliament. In the light of that, do you not think now will be an appropriate time for the Metropolitan Police Authority to press...

  • Oral Update (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 03 December 2008
    A question for the Chairman of the Metropolitan Police Authority: Many of my constituents were delighted to see the departure of the former Commissioner. You are now engaged in recruitment of the new one. Those same constituents have been horrified to see the scenes on television of Metropolitan Police officers acting in a way that would not go amiss in Mugabe's Zimbabwe. Will you ensure that candidates for the top job at the Metropolitan Police are those who are not going to carry on this system of working and that those candidates who are busy running to the media -...
