Press Release Statement from the Mayor Mayor of London, Boris Johnson said, “I welcome the report of Jonathan Goolden. He concludes that I did not fail to comply with the Code of Conduct of the MPA and GLA and that I did not disclose confidential information, improperly confer and advantage or disadvantage or bring my office or authority into disrepute. ‘I will now reflect on suggestions for the future on how to deal with extraordinary situations when they arise. ‘I have cooperated fully with Mr Goolden’s investigation and am pleased that it has moved so swiftly to deal with the issues that were raised. I am however disappointed that this investigation has so far cost the taxpayer in excess of £11,000. ‘I am happy to engage in the adoption of a protocol to cover the management of information by senior police officers, senior members and officers of the MPA and I in relation to a critical incident. ‘What rightly matters to Londoners is what we do to make our streets safer from knife crime and violence and how we support businesses and individuals through the downturn and that is what I am giving my full attention to.” Ends.
