  • Stop and Search

    • Reference: 2012/0023-2
    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 31 May 2012
    The Commissioner has said that he wants a new approach to stop and search. He told the Metropolitan Police Authority last year that he hoped to have a new policy in place for the New Year, and he told us last time he was here that that is still his view, but that there would be some consultation with communities and with ourselves and the stakeholders about that new approach. We have not heard of any consultation at the moment on what the new approach is, so could you just let us know firstly what the timescales are, what steps...
  • Stephen Lawrence Inquiry

    • Reference: 2012/0011-2
    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 08 March 2012
    Yes, I do have some questions about the flawed police investigation that followed the fatal stabbing of Stephen Lawrence 19 years ago. I am sure I am not the only one but I just would like to say that so many people who have, if you like, been associated by just their feelings of sympathy and empathy with the family over the years would have been in a state of shock on reading that article. I would just like the Deputy Commissioner to say, if possible, what has been the response from the service to this article and this article...
  • Hate Crime

    • Reference: 2012/0014-2
    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 08 March 2012
    Jennette Arnold OBE (AM): I have a few questions. I wonder, Kit, if I can ask you in your role as Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime what assessment you plan to make of the MPS' strategy and policy to address hate crime? I say that given this, I think, quite large increase of 7.6% around disability crime offences that we can see on the performance figures that you have given to us. Also, I just wanted to focus as well on hate crime and crimes against older people, because the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) February 2012 report shows an...
  • Risks

    • Reference: 2009/0116-1
    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    What are your top three greatest risks and how are you managing these, and what is your greatest reputational risk?
  • Living Wage (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    Murad Qureshi (AM): I just want to continue on Richard Tracey's theme, actually, and I think it is a major reputational risk for the ODA, quite honestly, these whole bonuses that you have been giving yourselves. I just want to be clear; how can the ODA possibly justify raking in £2.6 million in salaries and bonuses when there is a funding shortfall for the Olympic sports' venues themselves, and the land assembly in particular?
  • Lessons Learned from the Beijing Olympic Games

    • Reference: 2008/0010-1
    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 08 October 2008
    What lessons has the ODA learned from the Beijing Games?
  • Opening Statement

    • Reference: 2008/0110-1
    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 08 October 2008
    Good morning Members. We welcome John Armitt and David Higgs who are here with us this morning and we are looking forward to a good exchange of information. Thank you both for coming. Before I go on, can I just say that I was asked by the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) to circulate a booklet which you will have found on your seats and John [Armitt] or David [Higgins] will make reference to this booklet in answer to Mr Boff's question [see Appendix 2]. The Deputy Chair and I had a pre-meeting with both John and David and we agreed...
  • Olympic Village (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 08 October 2008
    Can I ask one tiny supplementary which is a little bit tangential? I understand that Queen Mary College - which is a university round the corner from where I live and just down the road from Stratford - has made its student village - about 3,000 properties - available for the entirety of the Olympics. Is that in some way making up for the shortfall in accommodation that is likely to be built at Stratford?
  • Olympic Village and Legacy (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Navin Shah
    • Meeting date: 08 October 2008
    I was worried that there was a strong emphasis, quite rightly so of course, in legacy terms towards temporary and permanent developments and also the future options for the development projects, but not much at all about architectural legacy and heritage in terms of high quality of design etc. I am reassured now from the comments Mr Higgins made about the attempt being made, in terms of the whole process that you have developed, in getting better design and also your reference to the Barcelona Masterplan and so on. I am really seeking reassurance and an assurance for Londoners and...
  • Lessons Learned from the Beijing Olympic Games (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 08 October 2008
    Like yourself I was there as a spectator but I did not have any privilege access like yourselves to what was happening during that whole month of festivities. There were one or two things I picked up which I think are pertinent. The first is on the transport. It was not just the investment they made but they also dropped prices, quite considerably, so most people used it quite happily. A similar thing happened in Athens. They said afterwards they managed to move the modal shift by 10% from private vehicles to public transport. I do not know if we...
