  • Knife crime in London (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 03 June 2015
    Thank you, Madam Chair. Probably the point has been raised by Deputy Chairman Arbour, but I was quite bemused, I have to say, that the Liberal Democrats had asked this question when they seem to have tried to delay the mandatory sentencing of second offenders with knives in the last Parliament.
  • Cuts to Policing (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 03 June 2015
    Thank you, Deputy Chairman. Commissioner, you have been quoted in places in the press recently about the possibility of a further need of police station closures. Could you be a bit more specific about that? Are you thinking about them? The other thing is that there has been some discussion recently about co-ordinating the control of the major services. Of course, I do not imagine I need to remind you that there is a very large fire control centre in Morden, which has a lot of spare space. Would it be something that the police service would consider to make...
  • 21st Century Bobby (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 03 June 2015
    Commissioner, I was quite surprised to read in The Times yesterday some comments you had made about not being able to track people on iPhones. It was particularly relating to Uber, where they can track somebody who calls up for a cab. It is rather strange given what we see on American television and police that you in the MPS do not seem to be able to track anybody who has called in on a phone where it might be very, very helpful if they are in some danger.
  • Meeting London’s Current and Future Policing Needs (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    Commissioner, on the question of the costs of policing London, I think MOPAC has said, and I think probably the Inspector of Constabulary has pointed out also that the cost per head of policing London is probably about twice as much as the average for the rest of the country, and that is even taking out the cost of the national responsibilities which you have. I believe that there has been a drive on between yourself and MOPAC to try to bring down that comparison to get nearer to the national average. How are you getting on with that?
  • Convicting criminals

    • Reference: 2014/1257
    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 05 March 2014
    How do you intend to catch and convict more criminals?
  • Safer Neighbourhood Teams (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 05 March 2014
    This is a question for the Commissioner. Sir Bernard, we had a very useful meeting, I felt, in Redbridge last month when you came along and spoke to local people there and some of them raised concerns they had around crime and confidence in the police locally. One of my constituents from Wanstead asked you if we could reinstate the Ringmaster telephone system to alert people to crime problems in their area. You made a commitment at the time that that was something you would look at, if you could update us on that.
