    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 12 March 2008
    Given your open contempt for the London Assembly and many of its members, as expressed in answer to my question 532/2008, do you consider that its £8 million budget would be better spent by the Evening Standard and BBC, which are not subject to the same red tape in obtaining information from your office?

  • Extra Police Officers for London (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Graham Tope
    • Meeting date: 12 March 2008
    Mr Mayor, we can sit here and lose everybody in the figures. I can tell you you are losing 202 officers in the reduction in management structures; you are losing another 323 through improvements to the criminal justice system, a net reduction of 525. We can baffle everybody with all of these figures. The reality is that your 1,000 that you were proclaiming first of all is being funded by government and by the London boroughs, not through you and, secondly, is now actually not going to be achieved because the Government is not supporting you in two thirds of...

    • Meeting date: 12 March 2008
    The bid was for 300. The basis of your 1,000 was on the assumption, a rather rash assumption, that we would get those 300. In fact we have barely a third of that 300. There is a shortfall of £29.2 million on that.

    It all sounds extremely iffy doesn't, Mr Mayor? Your 1,000 included the 300 posts we are talking about here which turn out only to be 97; 300 on counter terrorism and 267 on Olympics. On your description just now of not at the cutting edge on the streets I would suggest that virtually all your 1,000 - none of which are being met through your part of the budget, all of which are being funded either by government or by the London boroughs - is not going to be achieved.
