  • Leveson Inquiry (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 20 December 2012
    With your indulgence, Chair, I wanted to cover two things briefly. The first I think is to Stephen Greenhalgh, which is that he is the lineal successor to [Lord] Toby Harris AM, Len Duvall AM [former Chairs of the MPA and then Kit Malthouse AM [former Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime]. They exercised their roles predominantly as chairs of the MPA with many members. I just wanted to, if you like, punch the bruise of Tony Arbour's question, which is that understanding and defining your role -- and you are not stupid by any stretch of the imagination. However...

    John Biggs (AM): Yes. If I can get away with that, I have four questions, but they should all be fairly short. The first is on early departures. Do you have a number of officers who have indicated that they want to go, but not until after the Olympics? Do you have the measure of that?

  • Speeding (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 10 December 2003
    I wanted to give either the Commissioner or the Chair an opportunity perhaps to amend a false impression that has been created in the media recently that the police are in some way opposed to traffic calming. Certainly my post-bag tells me that this is an issue that people are very anxious about in the community; I think Jenny is absolutely right about that. Secondly, where boroughs seem in my view to be ill-advisedly removing traffic calming, might the police take a view as to whether those boroughs are being unhelpful in their role of protecting public safety.

  • Independence for Borough Comanders (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 13 November 2002
    I have a feeling we won't get to the question to which this supplementary will be perhaps a little more appropriately targeted, but it does fit with this as well. I attended last week a meeting of the Covent Garden Community Association, where there were about 400 residents present. And they have the good fortune of being in a very lively part of London, and the misfortune of the problems that brings. And they welcome the support of their borough commanders, but they span two borough areas. And I'm wondering whether you think the relationship is quite right where, in...
