  • Priorities for Budget Cuts (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 08 June 2011
    Last month I was fortunate enough to tour Romford Town Centre with the Borough Commander, who showed me the work that has been done to tackle crime associated with the night time economy which is a serious problem for us in Romford. Regrettably last month we had a shooting which is quite unusual. Stabbings and violence is not unusual but a shooting is. Can you explain how you are going to tackle crime in places like Romford in the night time economy set against this background of austerity that we need to deal with?
  • Major Terrorist Incident (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 29 January 2003
    I am very reassured by that, Mr Bishop. If the bid is successful in April or May, whenever the Government is going to take the decision now, there will be a procurement process. And this is specialist equipment that takes a significant time. You don't just get them off the shelves in your local B&Q. I wonder if we have any timescale for when we will be fully up to strength.
  • Major Terrorist Incident (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 29 January 2003
    I am grateful for that Mr Bishop, but I think London is well-served by you and the other senior officers, who are directing these matters, those who are not on strike. As a professional officer, you would prefer the equipment that is subject to this £15 million bid sooner rather than later?
