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?

• Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington

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...

• Question by: Gareth Bacon MP
• Meeting date: 06 July 2016

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?

Your report calls for a 3rd runway at Heathrow to be mitigated by a number of measures including the banning of night flights. Can you confirm that, if those mitigating factors were not introduced then you would no longer support a 3rd runway?

• Question by: Kit Malthouse
• Meeting date: 08 September 2015

Kit Malthouse AM MP: Sir Howard, I wanted to ask a little further about night flights. When we last met when you appeared in front of the Assembly, you revealed to me, as somebody who lives under the flight path, this surprising idea that no flights land at Heathrow between 6.00am and 6.20am and that there was a moratorium on that. Since then, Heathrow rather helpfully produces on its website the actual landing times of flights and, of course, there are dozens and dozens of flights that land between 6.00am and 6.20am every single morning, including this morning. Would you...

Do you accept that a key part of planning for Britain’s future aviation needs is ensuring that the hub airport has space to expand further?

• Question by: Richard Tracey
• Meeting date: 18 June 2014

Richard Tracey AM: Can I question you a bit further on Heathrow? I do not know where you live, Sir Howard. I live in Wandsworth and a lot of my residents, of course, suffer from these early-morning flights you have been talking about. Indeed, Mr Graham was at the meeting a while ago and heard that people from Lambeth were complaining in exactly the same way as we are in Wandsworth. Do I take it that you accept that the current levels of noise, particularly early-morning noise, going into Heathrow are unacceptable for the millions of people who live underneath...

• Question by: Tony Arbour
• Meeting date: 18 June 2014

Tony Arbour AM: Arising from the last point that Mr Tracey raised, you told us that on the basis of what you already knew it is likely to be true that a third runway is going to generate less noise than two runways. I may say that my constituents in Hounslow and Richmond have frequently heard assertions saying, “More means less”, which has not proved to be so. I wonder if you can tell us on what you base your certainty that there will be a smaller noise footprint from a third runway than there is from the existing two...
