• Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
• Meeting date: 01 December 2022

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Lovely, thank you. Baroness Casey’s interim report found much wrong in the MPS, and in particular, systems and behaviours that are racist and sexist. I want to start with you, Sir Mark, because I put this to the Mayor the other week. The report gave an example of one borough team where 37% of female employees had experienced unwanted sexual advances or touching in the last six months. What are you going to do to tackle this disgusting behaviour?

• Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
• Meeting date: 01 December 2022

Shaun Bailey AM: Thank you, Chair. Trust and confidence in the police in the Black community is at an all-time low, and we can all agree that disproportionality is a big part of that. The disproportionality is the rate at which our children get murdered, and the amount of Black children and people who are involved as both perpetrator and victim of crime. Given this, what plan do the police have to take some of these weapons off the streets? I address that to Sir Mark first.
