Does the Metropolitan Police Service actually accept in broad principle the findings of the Leveson Inquiry?

Perhaps I can start with the Commissioner because we are meeting on the day that Lord Justice Leveson is to announce the results of his inquiry and recommendations. No doubt there will be recommendations with regards to the police as well. I just wondered if you could take a couple of minutes just to explain whether you have actually seen the report, know what the recommendations are and how the police are going to respond to it.

Perhaps I can move to the Police and Crime Plan, and thank you, Deputy Mayor, for sending us the headline document. I think at the moment, until there is great meat on the bones, there is very little we can feedback at the moment, so we look forward to doing that in the New Year. Could I just make and observation and ask one question. You talked about accountability earlier, police accountability. There is nothing in this document about accountability, so I think that is a major issue that needs to go in there. Also, I think MOPAC's accountability, particularly...

Can I just pick up some of the training issues then. I am very pleased you said you welcomed outside providers perhaps that deal with violence against women and girls to come in and do some training, because that is one of the issues that was raised with us from those support groups. I understand that particularly with you recruiting more PCs, part of your frontline training is now going to be computer based. How do you ensure the quality of that and the quality of response to vulnerable victims with that computer-based training?

I am going to start today and start by asking some questions about the MOPAC Challenge mechanism. The Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime has set up what he calls MOPAC Challenge, which is the principal mechanism through which the Mayor and Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime hold the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) and the top team to account. I believe earlier this month some performance targets were set as part of a 20-20-20 vision. Perhaps I can start, Mr Morley, with you. Could you just very briefly tell us what that 20-20-20 vision is?

I am going to move on now to police registration certificates. I have been contacted by the University of London Union and there have been press reports about the debacle that happened only a few weeks ago where I understand that students who are foreign nationals have to register with the police. Recently the category of students who have to register has been widely widened. I understand that the numbers are now higher. We have had reports that the MPS has struggled to cope with demand and that some of the information given by the police may have been confusing...

Joanne McCartney (Chair): Can we then move to our substantive item this morning, which is the question and answer session with the Mayor and Commissioner for the Metropolitan Police Service, and can I welcome you both here this morning. Obviously since we last met one of the major issues that has arisen has been allegations of racism within the Metropolitan Police Service, and perhaps I can start with you, Mr Mayor. Today you issued a press release saying that you were launching a review of measures introduced to eradicate racism within the Metropolitan Police Service. Four years ago you launched...

The Commissioner has said that he wants a new approach to stop and search. He told the Metropolitan Police Authority last year that he hoped to have a new policy in place for the New Year, and he told us last time he was here that that is still his view, but that there would be some consultation with communities and with ourselves and the stakeholders about that new approach. We have not heard of any consultation at the moment on what the new approach is, so could you just let us know firstly what the timescales are, what steps...
