  • Lead off question - Delays to Crossrail (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 06 September 2018
    Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Thank you for that. Will the decision to delay the opening until autumn next year [2019] ‑ it would be great to find out which month in autumn ‑ mean further delay in the opening of the other sections and the final full opening of the line in December 2019?

  • Lead off question - Delays to Crossrail (Supplementary) [13]

    • Question by: David Kurten
    • Meeting date: 06 September 2018
    David Kurten AM: Let us come back to the technical aspects. It seems the main problems are getting the three different signalling infrastructures to talk to each other. If you had an extension from Abbey Wood to Ebbsfleet then you would need Crossrail to go onto Southeastern track, which might be a fourth signalling structure. Would it not be? You are shaking your heads.
  • Limitations of CCTV

    • Reference: 2007/0109-1
    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 07 November 2007
    A joint report by the Home Office and police found that more than 80% of CCTV pictures are of such poor quality they are no good for police purposes, and most cameras are in the wrong places to help in fighting serious crime or terrorism. * Is the purpose of CCTV cameras, to tackle low-level, high-volume crime and disorder in town centres, being undermined by a lack of quality? * The report also claimed that authorities have no idea how many cameras exist despite claims that Britain is the most watched nation in the world, with more than 4m in...

    • Question by: Angie Bray

  • Impact of Olympics on MPS Budget

    • Reference: 2007/0113-1
    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 07 November 2007
    Can you please supply a summary of the impact of the 2012 Olympics on the MPS Budget between now and 2013? There have been suggestions that some aspects of security in the Budget for 2012 are not allowed for in either the MPS Budget or the revised 2012 Budget. Please can you state what is being done to ensure that London council tax payers will not be required to fund this expenditure.
  • Carbon offsetting

    • Reference: 2007/0114-1
    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 07 November 2007
    How much has the MPS spent on 'carbon offsetting' between 2004 and 2007, and is it not absurd that the EU will in future force us to pay VAT on these additional costs to the taxpayer?
  • Notting Hilll Carnival

    • Reference: 2007/0115
    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 07 November 2007
    Policing at Notting Hill Carnival was successful but there remain flashpoints (in particular at the end of the final day). Having been present and witnessed some of these difficulties at first hand, I can confirm that there is general agreement that the MPS handled them well, and that earlier intelligence-led operations and planning decisions had a very positive impact, but is there anything further that can be done to try and prevent the Monday problems?
