    • Reference: 2015/1564
    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 03 June 2015
    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?
  • Knife crime in London (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 03 June 2015
    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.

    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014

While the decline in overall reported crime is welcome, it is disturbing that we have these particular categories increasing. I wondered if you would be supportive of the recommendations in a report published by the Greater London Authority (GLA) Conservatives in June called On the Wagon , whereby we wanted to see a doubling of the penalty notice for drunk and disorderly behaviour...
  • Safer Neighbourhood Teams (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 05 March 2014
    It was widely said by your political opponents that in times of cuts and recession crime was likely to increase in London. We have heard from you and we have heard from the Commissioner, very encouragingly, that crime figures are improving, crime rates are going down. Can you assure me, and indeed London, that crime truly is decreasing, or is it related to the fact that crime is being screened out?
