  • Public disorder incidents in London (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2011
    Tim, I have nothing but admiration for the men and women who faced down rioters. I just find the whole thing quite extraordinary, and I think we should wait until we have all the facts before rushing to judgement. I think that is very important. I just have a couple of questions of detail for you. Is there a system in place whereby, when there is an emergency, you can very quickly call in officers either by having radio announcements, like they do for nurses and doctors, or by another form of communication? That is my first question.

    What age have they reached - not infancy?

    • Meeting date: 08 December 2004
    I did not know London's topography changed that often. You said it is quite likely in a catastrophic incident that the advice will be to stay indoors, basically, but how will you manage a spontaneous, fear-led mass exodus, when people panic? What have you got in place for that?

    How would that information be made available to Londoners ' with road, rail, Tube closures so that you avoid that kind of human panic? If transport is running at any point, how are they going to receive those'?

    Has, for example, something like a register of all the private coach operators in London been established? Has that all happened already?

    Right, so that is about 10 years old.

  • Evacuation plans (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Lynne Featherstone
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2004
    On what you were saying about the generic framework for evacuation, Operation Sassoon, at that time, the progress report admitted that the plans were in place, but sort of in their infancy, and that detailed support plans for each agency involved, a communication strategy, and more detailed overall organisation needed to be worked on. Are you saying you have now worked on them, and they are completed, or will they be still in their infancy?
