  • Question by: Susan Hall
  • Meeting date: 01 November 2018
Susan Hall AM: Thank you. Mr Mayor, we were questioning Claire Waxman, the Victims Commissioner, yesterday at the Police and Crime Committee. When I asked her how many boroughs she had visited - and she has been in post about 18 months now - we were all surprised to hear that she has been to only four or five. She could not remember but she thought it was four or five. Do you think it would be helpful if she was to make herself better known throughout London?

  • Question by: Tony Devenish
  • Meeting date: 01 November 2018
Tony Devenish AM: I am sure you will agree with me that meeting future challenges for policing in London includes close working with our wonderful London boroughs, and so I was rather concerned to see that the scheme that was called often ‘two-for-the-price-of-one bobbies’ or formally known as the MPS Patrol Plus scheme may be scrapped. Please reassure me, Commissioner.

  • Question by: Tom Copley
  • Meeting date: 01 November 2018

  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 01 November 2018
Navin Shah AM: My question is to the Mayor. It is about hate crime issues. How effectively are you tackling hate crime and what support are you providing to victims and wider communities so that they have reassurance as well as the confidence to report such incidents?

  • Question by: Onkar Sahota
  • Meeting date: 01 November 2018
Dr Onkar Sahota AM: Mr Mayor, this is a question for you on terrorism. The past few years have seen the number of arrests for terrorism double compared to the three years before that. What impact will your Countering Violent Extremism Programme have on safeguarding vulnerable people and stopping the spread of extremist ideology?

  • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
  • Meeting date: 01 November 2018
Len Duvall AM: In 2017, homicides concerning domestic abuse were at eight. It may be nine. This year to date, there have been around 19. I have not included any murders that occurred at the weekend. Can you just update us about what the MPS is doing to target the most dangerous perpetrators? This is to the Commissioner rather than to the Mayor, this question.

  • Question by: Joanne McCartney
  • Meeting date: 01 November 2018
Joanne McCartney AM: My question is for the Commissioner because I raised this with the Mayor at the last Mayor’s Question Time. It is about the future challenges of disclosure, particularly with the onset of social media and the digital information that is out there. I particularly want to focus on concerns that have been raised with regards to survivors of rape and, it appears, different practices at various police forces on the extent to which they require disclosure of that digital information. I know the Mayor’s Victims Commissioner is extremely concerned about this and has written both to the...

  • Question by: Florence Eshalomi MP
  • Meeting date: 01 November 2018
Florence Eshalomi AM: Mr Mayor, Commissioner, you have both talked about the Violence Reduction Unit, and the reality is, yes, we have seen a massive reduction and massive increase in knife crime across the capital this year. You both touched on the fatal stabbing in Southwark Park yesterday. There was also a double shooting, I am sure you are aware, quite close to Crystal Palace in my constituency. I welcome the news that you have set up the Violence Reduction Unit in terms of how we address and take a different approach to tackling violent crime, but do you really...

  • Question by: Andrew Dismore
  • Meeting date: 01 November 2018
Andrew Dismore AM: Commissioner, the Mayor talked about Brexit in his remarks just now. With the Brexit negotiations deadline rapidly approaching, what would be the impact of a no-deal Brexit on the capital’s security and resilience, in your view?
