  • 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?

  • Balance of Taxation (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 24 October 2012
    Goodness me. I think this is a very worthwhile debate although it may seem a bit arid to some observers and we need to make sure we do not get too academic about it. Would you agree with me that around the world probably the single greatest source of income for city governments tends to be, in one shape or form, from properties? You have said a couple of times now that property taxes are so visible and so potent that virtually all political parties play 'chicken' with each other. Well, the opposite of 'chicken'; they are scared to look...

  • Balance of Taxation (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Nicky Gavron
    • Meeting date: 24 October 2012
    Nicky Gavron (AM): While we are on land and talking about the planning system, currently the Assembly's Planning Committee is looking at the community infrastructure levy (CIL). That is, to a certain extent, a fixed charge, although there are lots of complications because it is set different in different boroughs and there is not necessarily a duty to cooperate and so on. On top of that is the Mayor's own CIL. I was wondering, this CIL is for Crossrail, but is the Commission going to look beyond that to the way CIL might be used by the Mayor in the...

  • Tax Devolution (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Nicky Gavron
    • Meeting date: 24 October 2012
    In the same spirit, how far are you going to frame for the Mayor any of the mechanisms he might be thinking about for the comprehensive spending review for 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?
