  • Meeting London’s Current and Future Policing Needs (Supplementary) [11]

    • Question by: Kit Malthouse
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    Commissioner, Mr Mayor, a variety of questions from me. First of all, just on the FGM one, do you have any sense of the level of resources that are currently applied to this particular issue, how many officers, is there a team of 20 or 200?
  • Meeting London’s Current and Future Policing Needs (Supplementary) [13]

    OK, the other area I wanted to ask you about was the horse, the mounted units, an area I know that is close to your heart. There has been some research recently about the effectiveness of mounted police officers, both in visibility and in terms of enforcement. In effectiveness, I do not know if you have seen the hilarious video of a motorcyclist just on London Wall, I think doing a wheelie, being stopped by a mounted police officer very effectively and dealt with. What are the plans for the mounted units going forward?

    Then I just wanted to clarify the situation on Westminster and police stations, since Murad [Qureshi] raised it. My understanding is that Westminster will be like a Belgravia, West End Central and Paddington Green, is that right? Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe QPM (Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis): Sorry? Kit Malthouse AM: The City of Westminster will have three stations in the plan, which is Belgravia, West End Central and Paddington Green, will remain.
  • Violent Crime in London (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Kit Malthouse
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    Sir Bernard, in your long and distinguished career, has there been any crime type, the statistics of which have followed a linear progression, either up or down, or has it always been two steps forward, one step back?

    Commissioner, is the Metropolitan Police planning any more days of action to help tackle knife crime following the success of Operation Big Wing?
  • Single Waste Disposal Authority

    • Reference: 2002/0273-1
    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 13 November 2002
    The Draft Municipal Waste Strategy sets out a desire to create a single waste disposal authority for London. Bearing in mind many boroughs are already engaged in long-term waste contracts, how do you intend to create this single authority and how will it work? .
  • Recycling Rates (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 13 November 2002
    I know Mr Duffy is keen to interfere all he can in boroughs. Some of us can't keep him out of our boroughs. Whether or not a borough has wheelie bins I would say is a matter for the borough council, and not for anybody else. Would he accept a scheme that we're about to introduce in Barnet, which is where in the past the Labour administration, if somebody phoned up for a second bin on the grounds that they needed one, just delivered it, our administration tends to send a waste minimisation officer round for advice on why they...
  • Recycling Rates (Supplementary) [13]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 13 November 2002
    John - both you and Nicky, as the Mayor's Waste Advisor, have told us at the Environment Committee, that the use of wheeled bins by boroughs actually reduces the amount of recycling. Now, from the borough's point of view, wheeled bins are useful because it reduces their cost of collection, and from the householder's point of view, they're convenient. So, are you actually planning, as a part of your approach to waste, to be reducing wheeled bins in London, or are you going to accept them as a reality?
  • Recycling Rates (Supplementary) [14]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 13 November 2002
    You say you would hesitate if a new wheeled bin scheme was proposed. What form of activity would that hesitation take?
  • Recycling Rates (Supplementary) [20]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 13 November 2002
    Well, either you think that wheeled bins are a bad thing and you're going to do something about it, or you're going to use them in a positive way, to help to improve people's recycling rates. I can think of several ways that you might actually modify a bin scheme to do that.
