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.

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.

I would really like to welcome the emphasis on prevention and the work that you are doing in this area. You could not give Diana the exact details of the budget. Given that this is a growing area in terms of emphasis, is the overall percentage budget in terms of this prevention work growing?

But if you are actually providing equipment to vulnerable people - smoke alarms, etc. " there are budget implications to that. How are you going to overcome some of the political and institutional pressures in terms of this being vital work, but is not particularly glamorous or high-profile? There is always the danger that softer budget issues like this get trimmed.

I must say that I thought the fireboats were good value for money. How can we encourage fire-fighters to work in London, given the high costs of living?

Are any of the vehicles in use, forgive me for not remembering this, in the 40% from hire companies or the like where we could specify that we want clean emission vehicles?
