The Commissioner has said that he wants a new approach to stop and search. He told the Metropolitan Police Authority last year that he hoped to have a new policy in place for the New Year, and he told us last time he was here that that is still his view, but that there would be some consultation with communities and with ourselves and the stakeholders about that new approach. We have not heard of any consultation at the moment on what the new approach is, so could you just let us know firstly what the timescales are, what steps...

Yes, I do have some questions about the flawed police investigation that followed the fatal stabbing of Stephen Lawrence 19 years ago. I am sure I am not the only one but I just would like to say that so many people who have, if you like, been associated by just their feelings of sympathy and empathy with the family over the years would have been in a state of shock on reading that article. I would just like the Deputy Commissioner to say, if possible, what has been the response from the service to this article and this article...

Jenny Jones (AM): It is really difficult to know where to start. This has been going on for eight and a half years now and that is a long time in human terms, in Metropolitan Police Service terms of course it is just a click of the fingers. I think I first wrote to the Chief Executive, I cannot remember, it might have been 2004, about this when Mr Ahmad actually approached me, and it just seems to be so turgid, the whole process, that the Metropolitan Police Service is constantly to be forced to do anything about this. You...

Jennette Arnold OBE (AM): I have a few questions. I wonder, Kit, if I can ask you in your role as Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime what assessment you plan to make of the MPS' strategy and policy to address hate crime? I say that given this, I think, quite large increase of 7.6% around disability crime offences that we can see on the performance figures that you have given to us. Also, I just wanted to focus as well on hate crime and crimes against older people, because the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) February 2012 report shows an...

Thank you. Ms Shawcross has the floor for a point of personal explanation because I am sure she will want to tell us she is not an outrider.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. This morning because of the Fire Service dispute, I intend to use my powers under Standing Order 2.40 first to take an item of urgent business, which is a statement from the Chair of LFEPA and to vary the order of business to take that first. I imagine the Mayor, when he arrives, will also want to say something on this matter, as part of his update. What I intend to do is to allow 25 minutes of questions on the Mayor's update during which period questions will also be addressed to the Chair of...

Would the Chair of LFEPA accept that from the Liberal Democrats side we have been supportive of the basic position that more money is possible and is justified but only in return for modernised working practices? And if so, will she accept that too few people in the public, in the media, actually understand the extent of the current practices and what is required? Will she agree to make it clearer exactly what changes we are asking for in terms of working practices? Because most people simply do not understand how inflexible they are. As far as the Mayor is...

I read in the newspapers that the Bain Report terms of reference were not actually agreed by the union and that they were very unhappy with the terms of the report. Now, the result of the report is absolutely dependent upon the terms that you set at the beginning. Is it true that the union was unhappy with it?

Did the FBU have sight of the terms of reference before the review actually started or not?

• Question by: Brian Coleman
• Meeting date: 20 November 2002

I wonder if the Chair of LFEPA could outline very briefly the liaison which LFEPA has had with Chief Executives of London boroughs and whether she is satisfied that there is proper and close co-operation between the Fire Authority and London's boroughs in this matter. I understand, particularly, that the Army services will not attend any lift breakdowns, which is presumably an issue for many of our London boroughs with their tower blocks. I wonder if she could also assure the Assembly that arrangements are in place to deal with any possible intimidation by members of the FBU of those...
