    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 03 December 2008
    Yes, this is a question for Chair of the MPA. Under the previous Commissioner and now with this latest Damian Green case we have had a series of high profile cases where the judgement of senior Metropolitan Police officers has been called into question. What needs to be done to improve public confidence in the judgment of senior Metropolitan Police officers?

    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 03 December 2008
    Can I welcome the remarks from Sir Paul Stephenson clarifying matters. I do welcome part of some of your remarks around where the police must be allowed to carry on and see this through, and at the appropriate time people will come back and look at it. In light of that, do you think it was appropriate to share your comments publicly about the ongoing police investigation was right?

    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?

    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...

    • 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 -...

    • Meeting date: 03 December 2008
    I would like to revisit the issue about constitutional privilege. Can I ask the Chairman of the MPA and Acting Commissioner, does constitutional privilege mean that anyone can be above the law, including MPs?

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 03 December 2008
    One of the most troubling aspects of this affair is the extent to which national security is again being cited as a justification for all manner of action. I am not asking you, Sir Paul, to comment on that, as you would understand the national security implications, if any, of this affair. I would want to make a point that we see from Mumbai how some threats to our security are very real and the nation is now looking to you as Acting Commissioner to give impartial advice on national security matters. Can I put it to you that one...
