• Meeting date: 02 December 2015

In light of the similar responses from the Mayor, Assembly and Fire Authority to the Government's consultation 'Enabling closer working between the Emergency Services', what impact do you envisage the dissolution of LFEPA and the establishment of a Deputy Mayor for Fire and Emergency Planning would have on the London Fire Brigade?

Richard Tracey AM: First of all, Commissioner, you have dealt to some extent with this question of ward-level response, but can I ask you a straight question? Is it actually practical to talk about ward-level calculations? Is that really a practical point in the nature of firefighting or do you have to look over a wider area than simply a ward of - whatever it is - 10,000 people?

Roger Evans AM: Commissioner, the MPS is currently conducting some very positive trials with body‑worn cameras. Would you see any use for that type of technology within the LFB?

Thank you. Can I turn to another set of statistics which I know that quite a number of your officers are busy out today collecting across London? I myself saw a census point as I came to work and I know other colleagues have seen them as well. We are not due a national census for another two or three years as I understand it, so what is this census as a result of which so many of your officers are involved in pulling cars over this morning?

Thank you very much. Can I come back to Lord Tope's questions about shift patterns and so on for PCSOs and in particular in relation to their work on the overground railway. You will remember that there was some discussion of this at the September MPA meeting and the particular concern I have is that at the moment of course y it involves PCSOs finishing at 10.00 pm. Tim Godwin (Assistant Commissioner) told the Police Authority on 28 September that if they worked after 10.00 pm in the evening, staff would be entitled to an increase in salary which was...

There are pressures which you face immediately financially with a poorer and poorer settlement, and indeed the issues which are over the horizon - clearly the Olympic Games will be a major issue for the Metropolitan Police Service itself - current pressure on terrorism, and indeed the growing focus on clear up rates - how many crimes are resolved and result in a punishment - that continues to grind. We had the Home Secretary yesterday talking about the broad failure of the probation service and we know the impact that has on recidivism within the service. Are you resilient enough...
