Shaun Bailey AM: Good morning, Commissioner. Good morning, Mr Mayor. I would like to address my first question to the Mayor. What are you and MOPAC doing to ensure that Londoners have faith and confidence in the police?

Tony Devenish AM: I have three points, please. Firstly, we are almost at Christmas and I want to wish my local BCU Merry Christmas and thank them for all the work they have done during the year. They have been fantastic. On a far darker note, you will have seen the video online this week on Monday night during Hanukkah on Oxford Street, the antisemitism incident. Please make sure you catch these vile people as soon as possible. My third point and my question is, we had a very, very interesting meeting yesterday on the [draft] Police and Crime Plan...

What you have described as increasing the bureaucracy have principally been things which have been forced on you externally. Would you be willing to look at things done internally, at the request perhaps of the MPS and more frequently at the request of the MPA, which are rather foolish and look to the public as being extremely odd? You have mentioned your standard operating procedures. This nonsense about how you should ride a bicycle etc are patently obvious and we should not be wasting time training people to do things which to the ordinary man is a complete waste of...

Last month I was fortunate enough to tour Romford Town Centre with the Borough Commander, who showed me the work that has been done to tackle crime associated with the night time economy which is a serious problem for us in Romford. Regrettably last month we had a shooting which is quite unusual. Stabbings and violence is not unusual but a shooting is. Can you explain how you are going to tackle crime in places like Romford in the night time economy set against this background of austerity that we need to deal with?

This question is about the effect of budget cuts on police work but I think the public always ask, 'All right about the police work but what about unnecessary bureaucracy?' Do you both feel you are bearing down enough on unnecessary bureaucracy? I am thinking of the pursuit of targets and box ticking which was brought in largely by the last Government. For example, I believe the Home Office has suggested that the Policing Pledge should go. Are you going to remove the Policing Pledge in the MPS or not? Are you doing enough on bureaucracy or is Government perhaps...

This may be more a question for Kit Malthouse, as an accountant. Are you satisfied that the MPS property estate management is as fast on its feet as it ought to be? Because it does seem to me that in the last few years we were at one point in a considerable property boom and I got the impression that a lot of opportunities were missed at that stage. What is your view?

Could you tell me how the rapid response experiment has been going, in terms of using resources more efficiently?
