  • Grant Settlement (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 10 December 2003
    I will return to the politics of the situation in a moment. Firstly, can I ask Sir John for his professional take on the situation? Previously you were eloquently talking about the national responsibilities of the Met and our specific grant covering those of £200 million or so, is rising by 2.5%, less than the rate of inflation. I would really welcome your insight as to what you think the Government is up to. Given the stress we are under in London because of our national and international responsibilities why does central Government not seem to be recognising that, from...
  • Racism and Sexism (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 10 December 2003
    The Government recently proposed that the children of failed asylum seekers should be taken into care. What impact upon race and community relations do you think it would have to see Met officers assisting social workers in the Child Protection Agency as they forcibly remove these children from their parents?

  • Cost of Capital City and Security Functions (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 10 December 2003
    As I understand, a little while ago there was no safety plan in place because it was not clear what New Year's Eve would constitute. At the Authority meeting yesterday I think Sir John implied that it remained the case. Can you update us? Have you been properly told what is planned for New Year's Eve and do you have a safety plan in place for that, given that today is 10 December, just three weeks away?
