What does the future hold for the Metropolitan Police Service?

• Question by: Keith Prince
• Meeting date: 06 July 2016

Keith Prince AM: Thank you, Madam Chairman. I want to talk about special constables, but can I just, first of all, Mr Mayor, welcome your comments on the Rape Crisis centre. As you know, Redbridge is one of the Rape Crisis centres - or is the Rape Crisis centre - for East London. Can I just ask you to clarify, did you say that you are giving a clear commitment to continue the funding of the Rape Crisis centres?

Shaun Bailey AM: Morning, Mayor, morning, Sir Bernard. I just wanted to quickly have a little talk about the night Tube. I, like most Londoners, am really looking to the notion of getting on the Tube at night; well done for that. A number of Londoners are slightly worried about the potential increase for anti-social behaviour and crime around particular stations. I know that 12 stations in particular have been highlighted by the British Transport Police (BTP). I just wonder - I address these comments to the Mayor - what can be done to track any change in behaviour around...

• Question by: Gareth Bacon MP
• Meeting date: 06 July 2016

Gareth Bacon AM: Thank you, Madam Chairman. I have questions to the Commissioner initially. The subject of the water cannon has aroused huge amounts of excited comment in the last couple of years; I know you are very familiar with that. I do not have particular feelings one way or the other, but I am interested in how decisions are made. Is it true, Commissioner, that it was the MPS that made the case for a water cannon to be purchased for London and the previous Mayor acceded to that request?

Andrew Boff AM: Mr Mayor, will you read and respond to the GLA Conservatives’ report, #reporthate, published in June last year, which identified serious weaknesses in the police’s capacity to process reports of hate crime online?

Roger Evans AM: If you consider the 13 appliances that you are considering taking away plus the ones that were removed before, I believe the saving is around £25 million. If by some miracle you were to have £25 million returned to your budget, Commissioner, would you ideally spend it on putting those appliances back or would you have other priorities that you think would keep London safer?

• Question by: James Cleverly
• Meeting date: 02 December 2015

James Cleverly AM MP: I am happy for either the Commissioner or the Chairman to answer this. When the traditional disposition of London’s fire stations was brought about, I suppose, with the early 20th century expansion, is it fair to say that fire and fire risk was the single biggest driving factor in the equipment disposition of fire stations and fire appliances?

• Question by: Roger Evans
• Meeting date: 02 December 2015

Roger Evans AM: I just wanted to add my support to Jenny’s suggestion that fire prevention people might look at flood prevention as well. I wondered if there was also a role for them to do some joint working with the MPS on crime prevention because at the moment we have fire prevention people who go out and tell people largely to provide more means of exit and entrance from their properties and then crime prevention people who go around and tell them to lock them up. Might it not be better if the two services worked together and more...

• Question by: Andrew Boff
• Meeting date: 02 December 2015

Andrew Boff AM: On the subject of safety, on 25 November 2015 there was a fire at a tyre shop in Walpole Road, N17. This shop has now reopened. Is it standard practice for there to be an investigation or an inspection subsequent to an incident and could you write to me and say whether or not there has been an inspection of these particular premises? The reason I chase this with you is that there have been some concerns from local residents for a considerable period but they do not seem to be getting any joy from Haringey Council...
