What does the future hold for the Metropolitan Police Service?

• Question by: Keith Prince
• Meeting date: 06 July 2016

Keith Prince AM: Thank you, Madam Chairman. I want to talk about special constables, but can I just, first of all, Mr Mayor, welcome your comments on the Rape Crisis centre. As you know, Redbridge is one of the Rape Crisis centres - or is the Rape Crisis centre - for East London. Can I just ask you to clarify, did you say that you are giving a clear commitment to continue the funding of the Rape Crisis centres?

Shaun Bailey AM: Morning, Mayor, morning, Sir Bernard. I just wanted to quickly have a little talk about the night Tube. I, like most Londoners, am really looking to the notion of getting on the Tube at night; well done for that. A number of Londoners are slightly worried about the potential increase for anti-social behaviour and crime around particular stations. I know that 12 stations in particular have been highlighted by the British Transport Police (BTP). I just wonder - I address these comments to the Mayor - what can be done to track any change in behaviour around...

Gareth Bacon AM: Thank you, Madam Chairman. I have questions to the Commissioner initially. The subject of the water cannon has aroused huge amounts of excited comment in the last couple of years; I know you are very familiar with that. I do not have particular feelings one way or the other, but I am interested in how decisions are made. Is it true, Commissioner, that it was the MPS that made the case for a water cannon to be purchased for London and the previous Mayor acceded to that request?

Andrew Boff AM: Mr Mayor, will you read and respond to the GLA Conservatives’ report, #reporthate, published in June last year, which identified serious weaknesses in the police’s capacity to process reports of hate crime online?

The Draft Municipal Waste Strategy sets out a desire to create a single waste disposal authority for London. Bearing in mind many boroughs are already engaged in long-term waste contracts, how do you intend to create this single authority and how will it work? .

I know Mr Duffy is keen to interfere all he can in boroughs. Some of us can't keep him out of our boroughs. Whether or not a borough has wheelie bins I would say is a matter for the borough council, and not for anybody else. Would he accept a scheme that we're about to introduce in Barnet, which is where in the past the Labour administration, if somebody phoned up for a second bin on the grounds that they needed one, just delivered it, our administration tends to send a waste minimisation officer round for advice on why they...

John - both you and Nicky, as the Mayor's Waste Advisor, have told us at the Environment Committee, that the use of wheeled bins by boroughs actually reduces the amount of recycling. Now, from the borough's point of view, wheeled bins are useful because it reduces their cost of collection, and from the householder's point of view, they're convenient. So, are you actually planning, as a part of your approach to waste, to be reducing wheeled bins in London, or are you going to accept them as a reality?

• Question by: Roger Evans
• Meeting date: 13 November 2002

You say you would hesitate if a new wheeled bin scheme was proposed. What form of activity would that hesitation take?

• Question by: Roger Evans
• Meeting date: 13 November 2002

Well, either you think that wheeled bins are a bad thing and you're going to do something about it, or you're going to use them in a positive way, to help to improve people's recycling rates. I can think of several ways that you might actually modify a bin scheme to do that.
