    The provision of cultural opportunities in London’s outer boroughs and the improvement of the accessibility to London’s cultural workforce were two priorities in the Mayor’s 2010 Cultural Strategy. What progress have you made since then, and what are the future goals, for both priorities?

    • Question by: Nicky Gavron
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2011
    ): There is a very good track record in many areas of London of engagement by the police with the community, particularly in gang intervention, and I know, Acting Commissioner, that this is something you know a lot about. Have there been cuts in that intervention?

  • Public disorder incidents in London (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2011
    Thank you. On behalf of our Group, I also thank the many officers for the bravery that they showed over the August period. As the Assembly Member for Tottenham, I think it would remiss of me if I did not ask some questions about what you, Tim, yesterday referred to the House of Commons Select Committee as 'the initial incident', and this was certainly to do with some of the questions that came out of the Select Committee yesterday. You stated yesterday that the response to the shooting of Mark Duggan could have been handled differently, and you referred to...

  • Public disorder incidents in London (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2011
    It is obvious just from looking at the media coverage that different tactics were used on the ground in different places, and some with a greater level of success than others. In Romford we had some prior notice that this was going to happen by maybe extrapolating the events from the night before in the way that Darren has mentioned, but also information on social media, and that enabled our fairly far-sighted borough commander, Mike Smith, to put measures in place to ask businesses to close early and to deploy his officers at Romford Station, where the considerable police presence...

  • Public disorder incidents in London (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2011
    Acting Commissioner, first of all, congratulations on the level of arrests and the speed with which you have been doing that. The public are right behind you, as far as I hear. I represent the Clapham Junction area of Battersea, and we have been out talking to a lot of residents there, particularly, in many cases, fairly young ones. They say that they had been picking up a lot of intelligence from the likes of Facebook, Twitter and so on some hours before Clapham Junction blew up and, indeed, over the days before. You have already talked as the Chairman...

  • Public disorder incidents in London (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2011
    I think most Londoners are absolutely full of praise for the way police handled this from Tuesday 8 August onwards, and the policing was proportionate, it was appropriate, it was effective, the right numbers were there and we did not need to have the Army coming in or plastic bullets or water cannons or anything like that. It was appropriate, effective policing that restored order. However, the widespread perception on the Sunday and the Monday is simply that the policing operation was not effective either in terms of tactics or in terms of the numbers on the street. Could those...

  • Public disorder incidents in London (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Richard Barnbrook
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2011
    I think pretty much everyone has made comments on what has taken place, commending the police activity, but there is one situation. When the police, nationwide and in the MPS, are faced with social networking on football hooliganism or on certain political activities, they have sufficient information gathered over a ten-year period to move in there, undercover or uniform, and stop this. So, you are still suggesting there are not enough workings within the MPS to be able to work out the activity of social networking?
