  • Terrorism Threat to London (Supplementary) [13]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 15 June 2005

    I am grateful. Therefore, the Mayor, when he made that assertion recently, clearly was completely wrong?

    • Meeting date: 15 June 2005
    I will not press you further. I know that is not the purpose of your position.

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 15 June 2005
    If asked, that is certainly the advice you would give to the Mayor today?
