  • Transport for London Business Plan (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 23 May 2012
    Darren Johnson (Deputy Chair): Assembly Member Biggs has a point of order. John Biggs (AM): The Chair told us there was a standing order about making assertions for which there was no evidence. Now, the Mayor has at the one time made an assertion for which he has evidence that he can cut council tax. Now he has made another assertion that on fares, he can make no such commitment. There is a fundamental inconsistency, it seems to me, under standing orders. Either one can be said and the other cannot, and either the both can be said or neither...

    • Reference: 2007/0109-1
    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 07 November 2007
    A joint report by the Home Office and police found that more than 80% of CCTV pictures are of such poor quality they are no good for police purposes, and most cameras are in the wrong places to help in fighting serious crime or terrorism. * Is the purpose of CCTV cameras, to tackle low-level, high-volume crime and disorder in town centres, being undermined by a lack of quality? * The report also claimed that authorities have no idea how many cameras exist despite claims that Britain is the most watched nation in the world, with more than 4m in...

  • Impact of Olympics on MPS Budget

    • Reference: 2007/0113-1
    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 07 November 2007
    Can you please supply a summary of the impact of the 2012 Olympics on the MPS Budget between now and 2013? There have been suggestions that some aspects of security in the Budget for 2012 are not allowed for in either the MPS Budget or the revised 2012 Budget. Please can you state what is being done to ensure that London council tax payers will not be required to fund this expenditure.

    • Reference: 2007/0114-1
    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 07 November 2007

    Policing at Notting Hill Carnival was successful but there remain flashpoints (in particular at the end of the final day). Having been present and witnessed some of these difficulties at first hand, I can confirm that there is general agreement that the MPS handled them well, and that earlier intelligence-led operations and planning decisions had a very positive impact, but is there anything further that can be done to try and prevent the Monday problems?

    Lambeth and Southwark are unique in South London during 2006/7 for both showing an increase in violent crime in the statistics for the two Borough Police Commands. Why is the case? Do you believe that these units need additional police resources?
