Caroline Russell AM: Commissioner, I know you are aware of the great work going on in Iceland reducing violence and murder. I mentioned it to you informally earlier this year. Between 2005 and 2018, Iceland recorded just 24 murders. Over the same time period, London recorded 1,862 murders. I know Iceland is much smaller than London, but even so, Iceland had 67 murders per million people in that time compared to London’s 210 per million people; that is three times as many in London. I am wondering if you have looked at what police are doing in other countries, particularly...

Siân Berry AM: Carrying on my colleague’s theme of targeting zero deaths, I want to turn to enforcement on the roads and the proactive policing support that there is for Vision Zero there. Commissioner, I am keen to understand how transparent you are on this road danger work. Looking at the publications from TfL, its last Roads Policing Enforcement Statistics Bulletin was with data for 2018/19 and was published over a year ago now in November 2020. Briefly, when will we see an update to this bulletin and will it have up-to-date data from the MPS?

David, I am actually one of the stakeholders and also of course the Royal Institute for British Architects (RIBA) are also stakeholders and neither of us is happy. In fact, for example, RIBA actually said `the ODA sustainability policy is a disappointing missed opportunity'. From our point of view, we do not how you can call some of these measures exemplary, you know, when they will already be backed by Building Regulations by 2010. It has got to be bigger than something we are getting two years before the Olympics. You know, whether it is water usage, or the energy...

Forgive me, I do not doubt your intention to make this the greenest Olympics ever. I do not doubt that, but I do doubt your ability to do it without really good advice. One of the big issues that really offends me is there is going to be a commission for sustainable London 2012, and there seems to be delays in getting this going and the fact is you need that scrutiny body. It is very, very important for you to have that, because there is expert advice there, on hand, with an overview of the sort of thing that...
