  • Knife crime in London (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 03 June 2015
    Thank you very much, Mr Mayor. I am very glad to hear that neither of you feels complacent about this issue. There were 188 knife crime injuries in the two boroughs that I represent [Lambeth and Southwark] in the last year and so clearly something is happening. There was an increase in the injuries. With the end of the old knife crime strategy, we all are looking for an initiative and a new pressure and a refreshing of the pressure on knife crime. The Commissioner talked at the Police and Crime Committee about the impact of drugs and alcohol and...

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2011
    ): Can I just begin by thanking, through you Chair, the entire staff of LFEPA for their outstanding professionalism during the riots? I wanted to talk to you about the future of the emergency control mobilising centre, the 999 call centre. I have it on good account that the staff of that centre performed magnificently during the riots. In fact, an entire shift stayed on as volunteers to double up the normal capacity. I hope you would not disagree with me if I said it is fair to say that is the most efficient and effective 999 fire control centre...

  • Budget Savings (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 03 December 2008
    Can I just begin by declaring hospitality? I attended the awards lunch at Lords [LFEPA staff achievement awards] and I enjoyed it and I sat next to the Counter-Terrorism Joint Liaison team between the Metropolitan Police Service and the Fire Brigade, who won an award, deservedly, for their work at Operation Tiger Tiger. However, subsequently one of those posts was proposed for cuts, within this package of cuts which our colleague has been proposing. I will have to say I would much rather have kept the post than have the lunch - nice lunch that it was. Can I just...
