  • Police Resources

    • Reference: 2013/0001
    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2013
    How do you intend to use police resources more efficiently over the next three years?
  • Safer Neighbourhood Teams

    • Reference: 2012/0039-2
    • Question by: Steve O'Connell
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2012
    Returning if I may to the effects, Commissioner, of the G4S ineptitude on the boroughs. I am pleased to hear your professional judgment that you expect perhaps no further draw or demand upon those resources, but clearly that remains to be seen as it plays out. However, I respect your opinion on that. Something that worries many residents is around the pressure on the Safer Neighbourhood Teams (SNT). The Mayor has given a commitment that the Safer Neighbourhood Teams will be staffed during this period. But remember they are starting from quite a low base at the moment, already the...
  • LOCOG

    • Reference: 2012/0042-2
    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2012
    When the last Government decided to set up LOCOG as a private company rather than a public agency, it was sold as a way of speeding up their procurement. After extensive questioning from all sides of this Assembly, it now appears that the motive may have been to escape the sort of standards of transparency that one would have expected from public bodies. Can you tell me, have you ever expressed dissatisfaction with the timing or quality of the information coming from LOCOG?
  • PCSOs

    • Reference: 2012/0020-2
    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 31 May 2012
    Richard Tracey (AM): I am grateful, Chair. Commissioner, this matter of PCSOs is really exercising the public of London. Obviously you have a lot more to do, but unfortunately there is a lot of misleading information out there and it is very good that you have, this morning, spelt out some of the reality. First of all you talked about the recruitment of new warranted officers from PCSOs which depleted the warranted officers but the main contact that the public seemed to have with the police, from the feedback I get, is when your fairly junior officers go out to...
  • Olympic Route Network

    • Reference: 2009/0118-1
    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    In the light of Jacques Rogge's statement that the Olympic Route Network is not essential, will the ODA reconsider imposing the ORN on Londoners?
  • Living Wage (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    Mr Armitt, let us just get this straight. You approved Mr Higgins' package which is £641,000 a year, but your own package is £250,000. That is part time isn't it?
  • Risks (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    Thank you, Chair. I would have thought one of the greatest risks that you actually run is the security of the site during build and, indeed, during the Games itself. Are you content that the structure, where you have got Ian Johnson now heading security, I assume within the Park? I am not sure if he has got responsibility for all the 134 sites plus the free to view Games. You have got him there. You have got the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) through Chris Allison [Assistant Commissioner, Central Operations, Metropolitan Police Service] and the public order with the responsibility...
  • Olympic Route Network (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Victoria Borwick
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    A couple of quick questions if I may. Could you just confirm that the vehicles operating on the Olympic Route Network will all be disability compliant? The next question is perhaps you could update us on the blue light services and what planning you will make to make sure that they adjust their route planning models because we know there is a limited amount of time and they need to get themselves organised? The final question is when would you reveal which of the ORN roads have exclusive Olympic lanes?
  • Budget and Venues Update (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    On Tuesday at his press conference the Mayor said, 'The Aquatics Centre will be built on time and to budget.' Now, we are all aware that two days late is not good enough. Which budget do you think he is talking about?
  • Budget and Venues Update (Supplementary) [17]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    Can I thank you for that and indeed welcome you to the Assembly for the first time. I am aware of both your and Mr Higgins' industrial backgrounds and I am also aware of what you inherited when you took on the role that you have got now. I am conscious that you are sorting things out rather than ploughing a field from fresh. Last Friday the Mayor in an interview said, 'Crossrail is not like the Olympics; we made a guess about the Olympics and had to work it out afterwards.' How close are you now to getting it...
