  • Leveson Inquiry (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 20 December 2012
    This is an incredibly difficult area because in fact you do not want to stop whistle-blowers. You do not want to stop the police officers who are reporting on illegal activities within the Metropolitan Police Service. You want them to come forward. At the same time, you do not want false allegations leaked. In the past, the Metropolitan Police Service has had incidents where that has happened and officers do not seem to have been published. We have the de Menezes stuff and we have the Tomlinson stuff. Metropolitan Police Service officers have got away with false allegations or false...
  • Drug Intervention Programme (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 20 December 2012
    I wanted to bring us on to the topic of violence against women and children. I think you know that we are doing a piece of work on it at the moment. We have met with women's support organisations and so on, with a view to presenting that report to MOPAC and then having it feed into your update to the Mayor's strategy. That is all going fairly smoothly at the moment. I wanted to ask you in particular about two of the Mayor's pledges on domestic violence. One of them was that he has pledged to maintain the number...
  • Undercover Officers

    • Reference: 2012/0056-2
    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 25 October 2012
    I want to ask you some questions about undercover officers, Mr Mackey. I have been asking the Commissioner questions now since June and I finally got a letter on 23 October 2012 marked Confidential and Private. There was absolutely nothing private in there and absolutely nothing confidential. Basically, it was saying it could not answer certain questions of mine because of difficulties in exposing various practices and so on. I just do not believe that some of my questions are not able to be answered by the MPS and I will give you an example. Under which European or UK...
  • Undercover officers

    • Reference: 2012/0048-2
    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 27 September 2012
    Thank you. You have just been talking about supervision, and of course supervision of undercover officers has been a problematic area. Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) did put a report together and made some recommendations. Have those been taken up by the Met?
  • Deaths in Custody (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 27 September 2012
    Jenny Jones (Deputy Chair): Thank you. Mr Mackey, how many vans are there that you are going to -- Craig Mackey (Deputy Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police): Right across the Metropolitan Police Service? I do not have the exact figure. Jenny Jones (Deputy Chair): I am just wondering, roughly.
  • Resources (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 08 March 2012
    Jenny Jones (AM): I would like to go back to Tony's questioning, which I completely support. I think senior police officers are paid amply and could probably provide their own legal services. Perhaps we should go through all the evidence from the Leveson and work out what percentage of their answers are completely of non-public concern or where we are not liable to pay for them and we could claim our fees back. What do you think, Tony? Would you like to write to the Commissioner and suggest that? Anyway, getting back to the papers Tony Arbour (AM): I am...
  • Alternatives to Air Travel (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    Let me tell you about some others. Are you aware, for example, that there were 34 trips to Paris by flying? You could walk from New Scotland Yard to Waterloo and get on the train. There were also 21 trips to Brussels. It seems to me that there is this presumption that air travel is more exciting, more fun, and it seems to me that the Metropolitan Police Service is not taking the Mayor's instruction seriously. Mind you, the Mayor is probably not taking it seriously either! He said, `The functional bodies have been asked to review their policies on...

    I want you to say you are going to do something about it.

  • Alternatives to Air Travel (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    Thank you for that. I would just like to say offsetting is just a way of calming your conscience and not a really effective way of combating climate change. You talked about the short flights. Last year there were 120 flights to Manchester. Now, the journey to Manchester is actually just something over two hours and I can assure you you can work on the train, even in second class. Then there were 32 trips to Liverpool. These places are actually easily got to by train and I would just like to ask you if you will commit now to...
