    • Reference: 2014/4962
    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    With ever reducing budgets can the Metropolitan Police Service meet current and future policing needs?

  • Meeting London’s Current and Future Policing Needs (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    Thank you. My question now then is to the Mayor, if I may. When the cuts to policing were first announced three-odd years ago, there were reports and in this Chamber many people warned that anything above a 12% cut to policing would affect the frontline. You said then that the MPS could make 20% at that point without affecting the frontline. I think we have seen the frontline being affected by those 20% cuts. Mr Mayor, can I just put it to you that we have heard about the risks to the future. Is it fair to say, do...

  • Meeting London’s Current and Future Policing Needs (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Tom Copley
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    I want to raise with you the issue of tenants who were threatened with eviction from MOPAC-owned homes, some of whom were in fact evicted. I was pleased to see that the vast majority of those now will not be. Your Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime [Stephen Greenhalgh], who I see has just joined us, having reversed his own decision to evict people. I raised this with you back in March, the whole issue of tenants being evicted from Raynesfield in Wimbledon. Why did you not step in then when you had the chance, rather than sitting back while...

  • Meeting London’s Current and Future Policing Needs (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Andrew Dismore
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    A question for the Mayor, really. I want to pick up from where Sir Bernard left off on the issue of abstractions. Boris Johnson (Mayor of London): Yes. Andrew Dismore AM: In February 2013, Sir Bernard told the Police and Crime Committee that he had set a target of no more than 5% of officers’ working time on abstractions, but in July of this year, total abstractions across London in terms of total of hours worked was 17%, more than three times the target. What that translates to is quite serious. In Barnet, for example, in the six months to...

  • Transport Investment

    • Reference: 2013/0014-1
    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 24 July 2013
    What are your top priorities for transport investment in London?

  • Catastrophic Incident Preparations (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2004
    I wonder if you might just draw down a little bit and say is your planning based on a sector response. Listening to you, yes, you have all this equipment, but we are just used to seeing fire engines moving from A to B. How would you respond to a sector? Are you saying that you have enough equipment and resources within a given sector, and so that that would, in itself, support a catastrophic incident in that sector?

  • Catastrophic Incident Preparations (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2004
    A lot of your learning came about after 9/11. Have you been around the table with your New York colleagues recently? I am just trying to get a sense of whether the equipment we have bought since 9/11 is really state-of-the-art. Is that something for the next two years, or should we be finding ways of working with people from Spain, New York, more so, because clearly, things move on in other worlds?

  • Catastrophic Incident Preparations (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2004
    Last night in my constituency there was a major meeting because of concerns of movement of ordinary engines. What can you say to Londoners today in terms of your readiness from your service and working in collaboration with colleagues. Are you ready?

  • Orisis Exercise (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2004
    Surely you have learnt from that exercise and tested, and what did you use at that exercise, because you are saying ' in answer to question 363/2004 ' you are waiting for more equipment. What is happening now?

  • London Safety Plan - Assistance to London Fire Brigade (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2004
    Another area which could well be a target is the Tube system, and one of the things I have not really picked up is the extent of London Underground Limited's (LUL's) involvement in London Resilience. Could you just inform us, at least, of what kind of discussions you have had on that front?
