  • Diversity in London Fire Brigade recruitment (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2016
    Jennette Arnold OBE AM (Deputy Chair): Thank you, Chairman. Good morning, Commissioner. Can I just add my personal thanks for the work that you have done. I remember your first meeting and you set the bar high then and you have certainly maintained that. I want to just go back to something that you talked about and that was the Stonewall Equality Index. This is an Index that is now recognised as not only being about the LGBT community. It is known that, if you focus on one aspect of access for one group, you can then look to see...
  • Catastrophic Incident Preparations (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2004
    A lot of your learning came about after 9/11. Have you been around the table with your New York colleagues recently? I am just trying to get a sense of whether the equipment we have bought since 9/11 is really state-of-the-art. Is that something for the next two years, or should we be finding ways of working with people from Spain, New York, more so, because clearly, things move on in other worlds?

  • Orisis Exercise (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2004
    Surely you have learnt from that exercise and tested, and what did you use at that exercise, because you are saying ' in answer to question 363/2004 ' you are waiting for more equipment. What is happening now?
  • Multi Agency Initial Assessment Team (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 08 December 2004
    Excuse me, did you not recognise this 17 years ago during the King's Cross fire? Are you saying that we have not moved on from there, and is it not about time that something was resolved, and you could all speak together?
