When will the LLDC be on a more financially stable footing?

• Question by: Andrew Boff
• Meeting date: 02 November 2017

Andrew Boff AM: The Local Plan says the LLDC will exceed the London Plan’s target of 1,471 housing units per annum. Does that remain your aspiration?

Gareth Bacon AM: Thank you, Chair. I will start by echoing something you said earlier on, David, and it was echoed by Sir Peter. As a regeneration project, it has to be acknowledged that it is successful. Compared to any other Olympic city in the past, what has happened in London is transformationally better than anywhere else. That said, of course, there are some caveats to that and the biggest running sore is the Stadium. I am going to go back over a couple of the points that have been covered by other Members, just to try to get more...

Andrew Boff AM: How could something be described as ‘sustainable’ when London taxpayers will have to keep propping you up every year and you cannot tell us when that is going to stop? How is that sustainable?

With the Metropolitan Police Service needing to make £800m in savings, it will become increasingly vital that it can deliver more with less. What role does technology have to play in providing London with a police force fit for the 21st century?

I just wanted to explore a bit more the interaction with gangs because you are right, Mr Mayor, that the anti-gang command or the new Trident Command, as it was, was launched at the end of 2011. Obviously, there would have been a bump in activity, arrests and convictions during the early part of 2012. Many of those gang nominals will have had, in my view, relatively paltry sentences and will be now re-emerging from the secure estate. What connection is there between them reaching the end of their sentences and re-emerging and this rise in activity, which may well...

Mr Mayor, I do not like to kick a man when he is down, but I am always willing to make an exception in the case of the Liberal Democrats. You have mentioned Nick de Bois’ attempts to introduce mandatory prison sentences for second offences of possession of a knife. Do you recall that it was in fact the Liberal Democrats who opposed that amendment?

Thank you, Madam Chair. Probably the point has been raised by Deputy Chairman Arbour, but I was quite bemused, I have to say, that the Liberal Democrats had asked this question when they seem to have tried to delay the mandatory sentencing of second offenders with knives in the last Parliament.

Thank you, Deputy Chairman. Commissioner, you have been quoted in places in the press recently about the possibility of a further need of police station closures. Could you be a bit more specific about that? Are you thinking about them? The other thing is that there has been some discussion recently about co-ordinating the control of the major services. Of course, I do not imagine I need to remind you that there is a very large fire control centre in Morden, which has a lot of spare space. Would it be something that the police service would consider to make...

Mr Mayor, you and I have sat in this horseshoe now for just over seven years. Boris Johnson MP (Mayor of London): It has been historic. Kit Malthouse AM MP: During that time, the conversation and the questions from the other parties have never changed. Boris Johnson MP (Mayor of London): It has deteriorated. Kit Malthouse AM MP: It has always been, “You are cutting. It is a disaster. Things are going to get worse”, yet crime and the budget have inexorably fallen, together, in parallel. Do you think your victory in 2012 and the Government’s victory not a few...
