There are over 40 habitable houses in Rowan Drive, Colindale that have been left empty for months. I understand MOPAC plans to dispose of this area to Middlesex University. Why have not these houses been used as temporary accommodation for those in housing need in the meantime?

Has the contract to administer Camden SNB been given to Camden Community Police and Police Consultative Group and, if so, was there a tendering process; and if not, why not?

With SNT numbers reduced and many sergeants now covering two wards, is a Twitter presence a good use of sergeants' time? Can the Met justify the withdrawal from the front line of these officers to attend 'new media' training? Isn't new technology supposed to free officers from paperwork so that they can spend more time on front-line policing, not give them an additional PR task to undertake?

Given the Government's recent announcement that in April 2014 it will become common practice for NHS Hospitals to record data on FGM, what plans does the Metropolitan Police Service have to ensure this data is used to inform policy and practice when trying to catch and prosecute the perpetrators of FGM?

Please can I have details on the specific work that the Metropolitan Police Service has done working in collaboration with organisations and individuals who campaign against FGM, such as FORWARD, Daughters of Even, the Victoria Climbié Foundation and Leyla Hussein, as well as any others?

Giving the Metropolitan Police Service the powers to use water cannon will lead us further towards a state where policing is carried out by fear, not by co-operation. The more fear there is amongst citizens, the more likely we'll see further riots in the future. Will you, before it is too late, review the plans to put water cannons on the streets of London and stop the unnecessary purchase of these cannons?

I welcome the roadshows that members of the Metropolitan Police Service are currently carrying out across London. They provide an opportunity for local residents to meet directly with policy makers, which can serve to increase democratic accountability. My one concern is that these roadshows are a token gesture and a simple public relations exercise. What are you doing to ensure that these engagements are meaningful and their outcomes will help shape policy and decision making in the future?
