Léonie Cooper AM (on behalf of Jennette Arnold OBE AM): Thank you very much, Chair. It is quite ironic because Assembly Member Arnold’s question is about digital access, which she clearly does not have this morning at all. I wondered if I could ask John Barradell and possibly Fiona Twycross as well, between you, what the Mayor and local authorities can do to support digital access for Londoners, which has become so important during the pandemic for everybody, from young to old. Can I start with you, John, maybe?

Jennette Arnold OBE AM: Good morning, all. Thank you, Chair. Can I add my thanks and gratitude to Mr Barradell, Deputy Mayor Twycross and all members of the team for the work they are doing.

The focus of my questions today are about protecting vulnerable Londoners, especially the impact of COVID-19 upon young...

So much has been achieved over the past two years. I think this is an area of achievement and great triumph for partnership working. As I did yesterday when I...

Clearly, this is not a London-only issue. One of the things the MPS does is lead the rest of the police service, as it has done, to get that ACPO (Association of Chief Police Officers) position. Will you be giving your commitment to lead the rest of the service nationally to ensure this matter stays at the top of the policing agenda because they are the first point of call for people in distress?

We spend so much time hearing about the wonders of New York policing. Sir John, I have to say that you are on record as being supportive of New York policing, but their model is this model. It seems to me it is the model that many prospective Mayoral candidates may aspire to. In fact, Mr Norris is on record as saying that he would like part-time control of the MPA, he would like to appoint a director of crime, he would like to review the performance of borough commanders, and he would like to seek the right to appoint...
