• Question by: Leonie Cooper
• Meeting date: 02 December 2021

Léonie Cooper AM: I would like to start with the Commissioner, if I may. Becoming a police officer does convey a certain set of powers, so we need to be certain that the people who are going to exercise those powers are people who are fit and proper to do that and are trained, but also do not hold attitudes that would lead them to use those powers in an inappropriate way. Unfortunately, it is one of the things that women are looking at particularly, but we have also seen previous examples. The [investigation into the] [Stephen] Port murders show...

• Question by: Krupesh Hirani
• Meeting date: 02 December 2021

Krupesh Hirani AM: My questions are relating to the impact of budgets and police funding. Firstly, to the Commissioner, this year the Government chose to freeze the wages of police officers earning more than £24,000, which is effectively a pay cut given inflation at the moment is at 4.1%. Sadly, we all know one of the negatives about living in our wonderful city is the cost of living and the impact that housing costs have on Londoners. What impact will freezing pay have on your workforce both in terms of morale - we all know about the representation of the...

• Meeting date: 02 December 2021

Sakina Sheikh AM: Homophobic hate crime in this city continues to be a real concern with the number of incidents in recent months surpassing any previous month on record. We have heard from some of my colleagues around the rise in antisemitic incidents and I wanted to shed a specific light on attacks on East and South Asian Londoners, which obviously increased during the pandemic, which was not helped by hateful comments made by the former United States President. My question, first, to you, Commissioner, is: have you done any analysis as to why we are seeing such a rise...

• Question by: Elly Baker
• Meeting date: 02 December 2021

Elly Baker AM: I have a couple of questions about domestic abuse for the Commissioner. We have very little time, though, just to let you know. If we could have short answers, that would be great. The first one is around the use of Domestic Violence Protection Orders (DVPOs) and Domestic Violence Protection Notices (DVPNs), as well as the use of Clare’s Law, which varies significantly across London. We are aware that in Barking there are twice as many DVPOs and DVPNs used and almost four times the amount of Clare’s Law right-to-know disclosures than in Barnet. Do you know...

What do you see as the greatest challenges to policing the capital over the next 4 years?

• Question by: Unmesh Desai
• Meeting date: 06 July 2016

Unmesh Desai AM: Commissioner, as the Mayor has just said a few minutes ago, there is a huge amount of uncertainty hanging there right now. We all have to accept the results of the referendum. Let me ask you specifically how the referendum affects the MPS in two or three areas. Firstly, your partnership working with other local police forces: what is your initial assessment of impact that the referendum result will have on that partnership working?

• Meeting date: 06 July 2016

Andrew Dismore AM: Thank you, Chair. Could I wish the Mayor Eid Mubarak to start off. Sadiq Khan (Mayor of London): Thank you very much. It’s great to spend Eid with you guys, rather than my family. Andrew Dismore AM: I will take your advice on that. Could I ask you, this is to the Mayor, the Commissioner is report in The Guardian today as having written that between 24 June and 2 July 2016 there were 599 reports of race hate crimes since the EU referendum. Normally on any given day there are between 25 and 50 such incidents...

• Question by: Onkar Sahota
• Meeting date: 06 July 2016

Dr Onkar Sahota AM: My question is to the Commissioner. This is about the blue light collaboration. The Police and Crime Bill published on 10 February 2016 when enacted will place duty on police, fire and rescue and ambulance services to collaborate. Do you think that the new duty to collaborate, in the words of Dave Brown QFSM, the Chief Operations Officer for the London Fire Brigade, moves there from collaborated through goodwill to collaboration through being embedded in policy and governance? Do you agree this a more formal relationship now? First of all, can you comment on that?

• Question by: Fiona Twycross
• Meeting date: 06 July 2016

Fiona Twycross AM: Thank you, Chair. Mr Mayor, as you will be aware the Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy is due to be reviewed next year, and I wondered if you could comment on what your focus will be when looking a priorities for a new strategy?

• Question by: Leonie Cooper
• Meeting date: 06 July 2016

Leonie Cooper AM: Thank you, Madam Chair. Eid Mubarak to yourself and Saadiya [Khan], Mr Mayor, and very nice to see the Commissioner with us as well this morning. I just wanted to come back to the issue of neighbourhood policing, which has been touched on both Mr Mayor, and also your introductory remarks and also has come up a few times as well around the room. I did not quite recognise what Assembly Member O’Connell was talking about. It might be because we now represent, on our side, the majority of the geographical constituencies in London, but I know...
