  • Transparency in the Metropolitan Police Service (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    Yes, thank you, Chair. I have a couple of questions for the Commissioner and for the Mayor. It is moving away; it is still on transparency but it is moving away from the topic raised by my colleague. Roger Evans AM (Chair): Not too far. Jennette Arnold OBE AM (Deputy Chair): Not too far but it is just to do with transparency. My question is in terms of transparency, in terms of what the MPS says and what the MPS does. I think that is really a good link. I want to ask the Commissioner in terms of what the...

  • Meeting London’s Current and Future Policing Needs (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    My first set of questions are actually for the Commissioner, if I may, and I have some for the Mayor following that. Thank you for the comments about the Autumn Statement and the difficulties financially that the police are going to have in the future. A couple of weeks ago the Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime talked about drastic and dangerous police cuts which will have to happen. You have talked, I believe, today, and I have certainly had reports from ITN, that it would be difficult to maintain the 32,000 police officers on an ongoing basis. Could I...

  • Meeting London’s Current and Future Policing Needs (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    Thank you, Chair. Good afternoon, Commissioner. Good afternoon, Mayor. Commissioner, can I just talk to you about police response times? I can see from the tables which MOPAC has provided to us that the emergency response times of the police across London for the past two years have slipped in the wrong direction, particularly for Category S, which is the ‘respond in one hour’, and Category E, which is the ‘respond to within 48 hours’. Second and third priority response times have gotten worse. I notice this particularly because it has affected my own borough; Southwark have lost 5% of...

  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [14]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    So, again, no intervention; the Board did not rewrite it, ask you to pull your punches or whatever?

  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [16]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Therefore if you are looking at questions of the inner workings of organisations you might have funded in the past, you simply do not have the powers to investigate those to the extent that the allegations would suggest you might need to or might want to, or a third party might want to?

  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [21]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Just for the record, what formally are those roles that you fulfil, then? You are an accountant, I believe, but also you are the Financial Officer and that is defined in statute. Is that right?

  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [32]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    I have a number of housekeeping questions: the first one, which I think follows very neatly from Peter Hulme Cross's intervention, is, can you confirm, Mr Travers, that you are a Statutory Officer and that you have trade and professional qualifications as well which require you to act with integrity and not to be nobbled by the Board or other officers of the LDA?

  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Can you confirm then that the report that was issued is substantially, other than maybe a few housekeeping issues that might have emerged, the one that was presented to the Board on the Friday morning? I believe that is the case.

  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    I do not have any problem with the entirety. Just to clarify ' I think this has been clarified fairly well ' but the question of referrals to the police is because, when serious allegations are made ' and of course people making serious allegations have a serious responsibility to reflect on the seriousness of the allegations they are making ' the LDA is not a detective agency itself. You can confirm that it is not a detective agency?

  • Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    I might as well declare that I was the Chair of the Audit Committee of the LDA for a couple of years. I am very happy for that to be a matter of record as well; we did some very good work there. The District Audit is an independent service. There are of course two sides to this because politicians the world over use it as a foil for their political battles, but anyone in this Chamber, or indeed any member of the public, has a perfect right to contact the District Audit Service and to ask them to look...
