    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?

  • Crime Statistics (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 20 February 2008
    Congratulations. I was under the impression that the Metropolitan Police Service has responded to you and said that it is not going to investigate it.

  • Crime Statistics (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Damian Hockney
    • Meeting date: 20 February 2008
    Unless I know something that nobody else seems to know. What I was really asking for was the letter you had sent to the Metropolitan Police Service, because the Metropolitan Police Service has responded to your letter saying that because you do not make any criminal allegations they are not going to investigate it.
