  • 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...
  • 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?
  • First Anniversary

    • Reference: 2013/0004
    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2013
    It is now the first anniversary of a directly elected police commissioner for London. What difference have Londoners noticed, and how have and will these new powers be exercised over policing in London?
  • 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...
  • 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?
  • 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...
  • Race and Faith Inquiry (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 31 May 2012
    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?
  • Safer Neighbourhood Teams (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 31 May 2012
    Len Duvall (AM): A number of boroughs have lost a number of staff, both civilian and police officers; you are talking about allocating the numbers that we have now from the recent Government grant, that is probably less than what they have lost through different ways. The figures I have seen, the figures provided by the Metropolitan Police Service, sorry, but you are talking about reallocating the smaller number of resources in terms of that, is this a new rough formula, the new policing model? What are we talking about? Are these the numbers that each borough is going to...
