  • Knife crime in London (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Kit Malthouse
    • Meeting date: 03 June 2015
    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...

  • Cuts to Policing (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Kit Malthouse
    • Meeting date: 03 June 2015
    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...

  • Meeting London’s Current and Future Policing Needs (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Kit Malthouse
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    Commissioner, Mr Mayor, a variety of questions from me. First of all, just on the FGM one, do you have any sense of the level of resources that are currently applied to this particular issue, how many officers, is there a team of 20 or 200?

  • Meeting London’s Current and Future Policing Needs (Supplementary) [13]

    • Question by: Kit Malthouse
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    OK, the other area I wanted to ask you about was the horse, the mounted units, an area I know that is close to your heart. There has been some research recently about the effectiveness of mounted police officers, both in visibility and in terms of enforcement. In effectiveness, I do not know if you have seen the hilarious video of a motorcyclist just on London Wall, I think doing a wheelie, being stopped by a mounted police officer very effectively and dealt with. What are the plans for the mounted units going forward?

  • Meeting London’s Current and Future Policing Needs (Supplementary) [14]

    • Question by: Kit Malthouse
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    Then I just wanted to clarify the situation on Westminster and police stations, since Murad [Qureshi] raised it. My understanding is that Westminster will be like a Belgravia, West End Central and Paddington Green, is that right? Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe QPM (Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis): Sorry? Kit Malthouse AM: The City of Westminster will have three stations in the plan, which is Belgravia, West End Central and Paddington Green, will remain.

  • Violent Crime in London (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Kit Malthouse
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    Sir Bernard, in your long and distinguished career, has there been any crime type, the statistics of which have followed a linear progression, either up or down, or has it always been two steps forward, one step back?
