  • 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...
  • Deaths in Custody (Supplementary) [3]

    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 want to ask you some questions on undercover policing. Are you satisfied with the result of the Commissioner's review into undercover operations?

    • Reference: 2009/0115-1

  • Living Wage (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    Thank you very much. I am very glad to hear that you have made progress on that because it is incredibly important. Congratulations on being on time and on budget. That is pretty amazing and I am sure we are all happy about that. One of the next steps that you could do, in fact, with the Living Wage, is to have accreditation from London Citizens and I gather that organisations like the London Development Agency (LDA) already do have that. I wondered if you would take that next step and get accreditation and then, perhaps, you could also work...
  • Legacy Master plan for the Olympic Park (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    I am more than slightly concerned about the legacy, which you have all mentioned in your presentations. Somehow I am getting the feeling that in the original bid the legacy was a huge part of it, to regenerate a very poor area of London. There was this idea that the Olympics would actually fund the legacy, but it is starting to look (and I am well aware that when we are asking our questions we ask so many questions based on newspaper reports because we do not have the information from you) that it looks more now as if selling...
  • Budget (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 15 November 2006
    I would like to go back to the environmental and social issues. I would like to float an idea past you and see your reaction. It is worth spending more money and going over budget to include all these environmental ,sustainability and social issues than it is to come in on budget and reject all of these things as being something we cannot achieve. Remember we are talking about 2012 here. People will have very different expectations of what sustainability is by then.
  • Procurement (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 14 June 2006
    First of all I would like to say from the Green Group, we very much support the Olympics and want it to be a success, and this is the force of our questions. I want to push you again on the whole issue of targets and monitoring, specifically on the legacy aspect of the employment, of the skilling and also of the living wage. There are actually three questions from us' Brian Coleman (Chairman): Let us do one at a time. I am trying to make a point that this is something we care about and something that is going...
