Kemi Badenoch AM: Thank you, Chair. Mr Mayor, would you agree with me that Assembly Member Knight was selectively quoting figures to make a successful mayoralty look like it has not been?

It has been suggested that a number of firearms officers recruited by the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) have come from police forces in the Home Counties.
