  • Safer Neighborhood Teams (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Elizabeth Howlett
    • Meeting date: 15 June 2005
    Neighbourhood policing is very expensive. In the next two years £90 million, £100 million, something like this, for the expansion. I was in fact going to ask exactly about the £300 million that you hope to get out of your review, whether you would use any of that, and it would be right to use our own resources. I believe that the neighbourhood policing now is all rolled out in the first quarter of the year, funded by £2.8 million from the underspend which we are having this year. I think the underspend now, net of this £2.8 million, is...

  • Safer Neighborhood Teams (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 15 June 2005
    Could I come back to that, because I would like to ask you specifically about that in just a minute, but just to come back on what you just said, are you suggesting that people who are having to spend a lot of their own good money are actually crazy to do so? Could it not just be that they do not feel very safe?

    Name me a poll that does not.

    We have not all got them.

  • Safer Neighborhood Teams (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Elizabeth Howlett
    • Meeting date: 15 June 2005
    Can I just ask if it was your idea to actually roll out all these neighbourhood units in the first quarter of the year, or were you asked to do it from somewhere else?

  • Safer Neighborhood Teams (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Elizabeth Howlett
    • Meeting date: 15 June 2005
    It would have given us 70 officers. It would have given us maybe two extra officers per borough, which would have been great.

    No, I am dealing with finance here.

  • Terrorism Threat to London (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 15 June 2005
    As I understand it, your assessment is that the risk, whilst not to be overstated, nonetheless remains real and continuing?

  • Terrorism Threat to London (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 15 June 2005
    I am grateful for the Chairman's intervention and indeed your last comment. I am conscious of the new strapline for the MPS, which is `Together'. I am conscious that Len (Duvall) said that it is an issue for the whole of London, all the communities across London, and yet, I still, within my constituency, get echoes of the statement that Hazel Blears (Minister of State for Policing, Security and Community Safety) made, that our Muslim community must be prepared, and to accept, to be disproportionately stopped and searched because of the terrorist threat; a statement which was echoed by yourself...

  • Terrorism Threat to London (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 15 June 2005
    Thank you, Chair, and in some ways Richard's (Barnes) question has stolen my thunder, and the exchanges just now, but I just want to really relay as well that I think, actually, an important factor in countering the terrorist threat to London is community relations, and that we will always have to be on top of that, whatever the state of the actual threat itself. I do welcome the fact that we have moved away from Sir John Stevens's (former MPS Commissioner) suggestion that it is almost inevitable, to suggesting that attempts are inevitable, but not necessarily successful ones.
