  • Question and Answer Session: COVID-19 Recovery - The Next Steps for London (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Peter Whittle
    • Meeting date: 04 March 2021
    Peter Whittle AM: Good morning, Chair. Good morning to the guests. For my question, could I start by asking Matthew about small businesses? It might be most pertinent. It is a question I asked of the Mayor quite recently. What will you do to encourage people to return to their places of work as much as possible? When we are talking about the economic microsystems and ecosystems of the city, it is people not being in offices and so on that basically will cause - and indeed has caused - the system to collapse completely. The point has to be...

  • Question and Answer Session: COVID-19 Recovery - The Next Steps for London (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Peter Whittle
    • Meeting date: 04 March 2021
    Peter Whittle AM: Deputy Mayor, good morning. I noticed that in your reply to one of the Assembly Members you had a good old go at Brexit and the problems faced by musicians. Isn’t wonderful, though, that because we are no longer in the EU, we have had a fantastic rollout of vaccines, 20 million, which includes all of those creative people and includes all of those musicians? Is that not wonderful? Presumably, you are quite happy that we are not in one of those European countries where it has been so lamentable and appalling. Yes or no.

  • Police National Computer

    • Reference: 2021/0394
    • Question by: Peter Whittle
    • Meeting date: 25 February 2021
    I note the report in The Times on 15 January 2021 that nearly 150,000 DNA, fingerprint and arrest records have been wiped off the Police National Computer (PNC). ‘Sources said that more than 150,000 arrest records were accidentally deleted during a weekly “weeding” session to expunge data. Thousands of DNA and fingerprint records were also removed because the databases holding them were connected to the PNC, which is owned by the Home Office.’ 1 I am assuming that by now the Metropolitan Police has carried out a damage assessment. What is the likely impact of this development on their work...

  • Gang Violence Matrix

    • Reference: 2021/0398
    • Question by: Peter Whittle
    • Meeting date: 25 February 2021
    I note the report in The Guardian on 3 February 2021, ‘One thousand young, black men have been removed from an allegedly discriminatory gangs database used by police in London, after a review found they posed no or little risk of committing violence.’ 1 Why were these individuals on the Gang Violence Matrix in the first place, if they represented no threat to others? 1 https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/feb/03/a-thousand-young-black-…
