  • 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...

  • Safer Neighbourhood Teams (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Steve O'Connell
    • Meeting date: 31 May 2012
    Steve O'Connell (AM): Thank you. Following on from Navin, a very good question actually, many of us have a problem with our Safer Neighbourhood strengths, and it is not just in Navin's ward. Your offer, Mr Mayor, for that information could well open up floodgates, so be careful what you wish for.

  • Neighbourhood Policing Changes (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 31 May 2012
    Richard Tracey (AM): Mr Mayor, this is really a work in progress, as I understand it. I mean, you have not spelt out a great deal of detail to Steve O'Connell. This was something that was in your manifesto but you are intending to develop this over the next year or two years?

  • Incidence and Nature of Poverty in London (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    Mr Faulkner, has the minimum wage helped or hindered in your view?

  • Incidence and Nature of Poverty in London (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    I appreciate that the widely used definition of the poverty line is 60% of the median income. How was that originally arrived at, and is that an absolutely fixed definition?

  • Incidence and Nature of Poverty in London (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    Can I just come in and ask Mr Ross whether the Mayor has done any work on this? Has the Greater London Authority done any work on this?

  • Incidence and Nature of Poverty in London (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    Before I bring in Mr Tuffrey, I wonder, Mr Faulkner, whether you would like to make a contribution about the role of the Chamber of Commerce, and particularly, I know, your particular expertise on the Skills and Employment Forum, and the role it is playing in reducing poverty?

  • Incidence and Nature of Poverty in London (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    I am happy to take a response from you, Mr Faulkner, but I do not want to discuss the merits of the Oyster card.

  • Incidence and Nature of Poverty in London (Supplementary) [15]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    No, no, indeed, because I think that is an important point, because I think that in the mindset of the public it is confusing when you hear that x percent of people in London are technically living at or below the poverty line. I wondered if that definition would still be applicable if the median income rose considerably in London. One might feel that the definition was less, then, to do with poverty. I suppose I am asking you: are we talking about relative poverty as opposed to absolute poverty?

  • Role of Faith Groups in Tackling Hard to Reach Groups (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    Bishop, I wonder if you think that the function of the church ought to be more proactive? Things you have just been talking about; advice groups and playgroups and all of that kind of thing, is that that people all come to you, ought you not to be going to the people?
