At the May meeting of the Gipsy Hill Police Sector Forum the local police superintendent was adamant in asserting that his local Lambeth and the London-wide police budget had been cut. When questioned he was not referring to the workforce but to an overtime budget and a Special Task Group assisting in high crime areas in Lambeth. Would the Commissioner lay out in some detail what potential police resources are available to Gipsy Hill ward Lambeth and what resources can Lambeth expect continuing into the future?

Furthermore, the Thames Gateway area has a known risk of flooding and this being so, how does the LDA propose to defend development in Thames Gateway from this risk? .

Recently I paid a visit to one of your flagship projects, the Centre of Excellence for Manufacturing and Engineering (CEME), which is just inside my own constituency in Havering.

When I went the heating was not working; there was a lot of space that was under-utilised. What is being done to actually make that place work properly, and to get more involvement from...

Business start-ups and SMEs set up, particularly by minority ethnic communities in east London, have been pretty fundamental in the last 20 years or so, and yet, if I look through East Ham, West Ham and Tower Hamlets, the sort of premises they used to occupy have disappeared. The ones that are now available are unaffordable. How are the LDA and the other partnerships going to intervene in that?
