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.

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?

The MPS took the decision to make all of its safer neighbourhoods teams have the same number of officers/PCSOs in them, regardless of whether they are in high/low crime areas. * How is this compatible with the 'policing according to need' rhetoric when affluent low crime areas will have as many officers as high crime areas of deprivation? * How do you see this working for areas with high crime rates? *What are the chances of this decision being reconsidered?
