  • Meeting London’s Current and Future Policing Needs (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Kit Malthouse
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    Commissioner, Mr Mayor, a variety of questions from me. First of all, just on the FGM one, do you have any sense of the level of resources that are currently applied to this particular issue, how many officers, is there a team of 20 or 200?

    OK, the other area I wanted to ask you about was the horse, the mounted units, an area I know that is close to your heart. There has been some research recently about the effectiveness of mounted police officers, both in visibility and in terms of enforcement. In effectiveness, I do not know if you have seen the hilarious video of a motorcyclist just on London Wall, I think doing a wheelie, being stopped by a mounted police officer very effectively and dealt with. What are the plans for the mounted units going forward?

    Then I just wanted to clarify the situation on Westminster and police stations, since Murad [Qureshi] raised it. My understanding is that Westminster will be like a Belgravia, West End Central and Paddington Green, is that right? Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe QPM (Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis): Sorry? Kit Malthouse AM: The City of Westminster will have three stations in the plan, which is Belgravia, West End Central and Paddington Green, will remain.
  • Violent Crime in London (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Kit Malthouse
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    Sir Bernard, in your long and distinguished career, has there been any crime type, the statistics of which have followed a linear progression, either up or down, or has it always been two steps forward, one step back?

    Commissioner, is the Metropolitan Police planning any more days of action to help tackle knife crime following the success of Operation Big Wing?

    • Meeting date: 20 July 2011
    Mr Coleman, you touched on it just at the end of your answer to Tony Arbour's question about the bulk purchasing power. Can we be assured that the prices in the Look Book will be no more expensive because we don't have a brilliant track record of monopoly suppliers giving best value to purchasers? Can we ensure we fully utilise our joint purchasing power to ensure those prices are not going to be any higher than would be normally available on the commercial market?

    I want to ask you about the bunting as well. Originally that was the only thing that was being proposed by you that I received with unalloyed joy because I thought, 'Here we are, outer London is actually going to get something. We are actually going to be able to celebrate something'. Now I hear it is some vast advertising campaign for the sponsors of the Olympics.

    Mr Coleman and Mr Fihosy, you have both touched on a number of programmes that will be happening next year. Clearly there is the Olympics itself on a number of sites in and around London. There is your own programme of welcoming people and programmes that you know of at your Live sites. There are events that local authorities are putting on. There are events which local authorities are facilitating and by that I think of Jamaica celebrating 50 years of independence, Trinidad and Tobago also wanting to celebrate 50 years of independence, Brazil wishing to celebrate the fact of...

    Could you tell me when residents living around Victoria Park will know the timings, access arrangements and indeed volume of the Live site there?
  • City Operations Programme (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 20 July 2011
    Could I take you back to the discussion about public services and the cost of laying on various extra public services. I accept the figures that we have been given about some of the host boroughs close to the Olympic Park - and obviously there are other colleagues that can talk about them - but there are several that do concern me. I gather that the original estimate put in by the boroughs was £63.5 million and that has been reduced by the GLA and the Government to £21 million, which is a pretty considerable reduction. Now, as I understand...
