  • Dissolution of LFEPA (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Fiona Twycross
    • Meeting date: 02 December 2015
    Fiona Twycross AM: I wanted to correct the impression that was given that the way it has been operating at the moment has been simply about opposition Members [on LFEPA] getting at the Mayor. The fact is that the Mayor has insisted on managing by Direction even when there has not been an impasse, including on issues over which there has been cross‑party agreement by LFEPA Members. I just wondered if you could focus a little bit on what impact the Mayor’s insistence on management by Direction has had. To be honest, we have had Directions on all sorts of...

  • Dissolution of LFEPA (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 02 December 2015
    Richard Tracey AM: Chairman, probably this is one for you as the politician of the two of you. The fact is, surely, that government, particularly local government, has been changing very considerably over recent years. That is accepted. The straight point to you: is it not correct that perhaps LFEPA in its current form is out of date and past its sell‑by date, really?

  • New Technology (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Fiona Twycross
    • Meeting date: 02 December 2015
    Fiona Twycross AM: We obviously have to make sensible use of resources in the face of cuts. Some of the new technology that could come online is really interesting and will offer exciting possibilities, but do you agree with the Londoner who contacted me yesterday to say that £283,000 for a website rebuild is bordering on scandalous?

    Whilst recorded crime continues to decrease, ‘Violence with Injury’ has seen a considerable increase this year. What measures are the Metropolitan Police taking to reduce violent crime?

  • Undercover Police Still Employed by the Metropolitan Police Service

    • Reference: 2014/4964
    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    How can Londoners have confidence in the Metropolitan Police Service if police officers who had sexual relationships while working undercover are still employed and may not face any sanction for their behaviour?

  • 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...
