  • Borough Commanders

    • Reference: 2011/0227-1
    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 07 December 2011
    While I congratulate both borough commanders from my constituency in securing promotions, they will both be much missed.

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 08 June 2011
    This may be more a question for Kit Malthouse, as an accountant. Are you satisfied that the MPS property estate management is as fast on its feet as it ought to be? Because it does seem to me that in the last few years we were at one point in a considerable property boom and I got the impression that a lot of opportunities were missed at that stage. What is your view?

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 08 June 2011
