    While I congratulate both borough commanders from my constituency in securing promotions, they will both be much missed. How will you ensure continuity of the excellent work that has been done in Lambeth and Southwark by the outgoing commanders during the recruitment process for their successors?

  • Budgetary Targets and Corporate Strategy (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2011
    ): Can I just begin by thanking, through you Chair, the entire staff of LFEPA for their outstanding professionalism during the riots? I wanted to talk to you about the future of the emergency control mobilising centre, the 999 call centre. I have it on good account that the staff of that centre performed magnificently during the riots. In fact, an entire shift stayed on as volunteers to double up the normal capacity. I hope you would not disagree with me if I said it is fair to say that is the most efficient and effective 999 fire control centre...

  • Priorities for Budget Cuts (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 08 June 2011
    We do all support efficiency but cuts and the pressure of budgets do pose a danger that we could be losing essential expertise. There has been some coverage that you are planning to make cuts to the homicide and serious crime command teams and that there may be some merging with Trident. I would be very concerned that the quality and effectiveness of the excellent work that is done in those areas could be lost. Would you be making these cuts and these changes to these extremely expert teams if it were not for the enormous budget pressures that you...

  • Budget Savings (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 03 December 2008
    Can I just begin by declaring hospitality? I attended the awards lunch at Lords [LFEPA staff achievement awards] and I enjoyed it and I sat next to the Counter-Terrorism Joint Liaison team between the Metropolitan Police Service and the Fire Brigade, who won an award, deservedly, for their work at Operation Tiger Tiger. However, subsequently one of those posts was proposed for cuts, within this package of cuts which our colleague has been proposing. I will have to say I would much rather have kept the post than have the lunch - nice lunch that it was. Can I just...
