    • Question by: Joanne McCartney

  • Race and Faith Inquiry

    • Reference: 2012/0017-2
    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 31 May 2012
    Joanne McCartney (Chair): Can we then move to our substantive item this morning, which is the question and answer session with the Mayor and Commissioner for the Metropolitan Police Service, and can I welcome you both here this morning. Obviously since we last met one of the major issues that has arisen has been allegations of racism within the Metropolitan Police Service, and perhaps I can start with you, Mr Mayor. Today you issued a press release saying that you were launching a review of measures introduced to eradicate racism within the Metropolitan Police Service. Four years ago you launched...
  • Officer Numbers

    • Reference: 2012/0018-2
    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 31 May 2012
    Jenny Jones (Deputy Chair): Good morning, Mr Mayor. The issue of the number of officers has always been a bit contentious but at the last Mayor's Question Time (MQT) you did reiterate your manifesto commitment to 1,000 extra officers, and in response to Len Duvall you did say, '1,000 extra officers on the beat.' Where are you going to find those officers?
  • Safer Neighbourhood Teams

    • Reference: 2012/0019-2
    • Question by: Navin Shah
    • Meeting date: 31 May 2012
    Navin Shah (AM): Mr Mayor, do you agree that, in all boroughs, the Safer Neighbourhood Teams are seriously depleted, and therefore the question I have for you is, what plans do you have to restore those Safer Neighbourhood Teams to their full capacity?
  • Neighbourhood Policing Changes

    • Reference: 2012/0021-2
    • Question by: Steve O'Connell
    • Meeting date: 31 May 2012
    Joanne McCartney (Chair): Yes, I think we are going to have to move on now. Mayor, another pledge you made was to set up safer neighbourhood boards which was on a borough basis and you were going to amalgamate community police engagement groups, the Independent Custody Visitors Schemes and the Metropolitan Police Service Independent Advisory Groups. Steve, you wanted to ask some questions on this. Steve O'Connell (AM): This is a subject that is interesting a lot of people out there. Many of us spend probably too many hours on consultative groups and panels and the questions being asked by...
  • Violence Against Women and Girls

    • Reference: 2012/0022-2
    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 31 May 2012
    Jennette Arnold (AM): Chair, we did, with your support, want to just raise the issue about violence against women and girls, especially the domestic violence promise which we welcome from the Mayor. The Mayor said in his 2012 manifesto, 'I will work with the Police, Boroughs, National Health Service, Home Office and the Crown Prosecution Service to commission and fund a pan-London domestic violence service and maintain the number of Independent Domestic Violence Advocates (IDVA).' Those are Independent Domestic Violence Advocates. Now, I have two pages of questions so clearly I will not be able to address those, Chair. If...

    Jennette Arnold (AM): Can I just ask the Commissioner to clarify what he just said: 7,000 leaders, did you say you had identified?
  • Race and Faith Inquiry (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 31 May 2012
    Joanne McCartney (Chair): Can I just pick up a couple of things from the discussion we have had. We have talked about these various reviews that are going on into different aspects of racism. Who is actually co-ordinating this, Commissioner, at a strategic level for the Metropolitan Police Service?
  • Officer Numbers (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Tom Copley
    • Meeting date: 31 May 2012
    Tom Copley (AM): Thank you, Chair. Mr Mayor, I just wanted to clarify something, following on from Jenny's points. Are you or are you not saying there will be 1,000 more police officers in 2016 than there are now?
