Performance of London Underground (Supplementary) [2]

  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
That was out of LU's control. Have you assured yourself that measures are in place? We have heard about the blue-light team and all the things you told us last week, and Peter and others have told us. How have you assured yourself and the IOC that things are in place and that people will be able to get around?

Performance of London Underground (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
  • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
I think that is reassuring and I am sure the IOC and Londoners will be reassured by that. In the event that there is a failure, say, on the Jubilee line during the games and you have people at the Olympic Park wanting to get down to the north Greenwich arena, will you allow spectators to travel for free on the cable car as a quick means to travel?

Project Daedalus (Supplementary) [2]

  • Question by: Murad Qureshi
  • Meeting date: 20 December 2012
We have already had it rolled out to outer London boroughs like Havering, Barking, Dagenham, Enfield and Kingston. I just want to know what consultation engagement has been carried out in the boroughs about increasing the availability of Tasers?

Project Daedalus (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
  • Meeting date: 20 December 2012
Can we move away from the preplanned operations and some of the specialist operations, and talk to what is available in boroughs in terms of response? Just to get to the bottom of two cars, four officers being added and TSG group already in existence, could you just explain to me, would they only be available to certain boroughs in terms of tasking? Do they get round to all boroughs? They do not stay in one particular borough. I presume on top of that there are existing roving armed response vehicles that are Taser-led, so they could respond to a...

Drug Intervention Programme (Supplementary) [3]

  • Question by: Joanne McCartney
  • Meeting date: 20 December 2012
Can I just ask one question before we leave this section on violence against women and girls. We did hear in one of our earlier sessions that there is a shortage of refuge places in London. Is that something that MOPAC can look at, the demand and the need for that as well?

Drug Intervention Programme (Supplementary) [2]

  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 20 December 2012
I wanted to bring us on to the topic of violence against women and children. I think you know that we are doing a piece of work on it at the moment. We have met with women's support organisations and so on, with a view to presenting that report to MOPAC and then having it feed into your update to the Mayor's strategy. That is all going fairly smoothly at the moment. I wanted to ask you in particular about two of the Mayor's pledges on domestic violence. One of them was that he has pledged to maintain the number...

Drug Intervention Programme (Supplementary) [1]

  • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
  • Meeting date: 20 December 2012
I just want to clarify a bit on that transparency process, and it goes a bit back to some earlier answers you gave on the future of community safety funding plus the DIP money. OK, not all of it, but some of it is MOPAC's money and I think in your desire for joint commissioning, is it joint decision-making or is the ultimate decision going to be with MOPAC or with the London Crime Reduction Board? What is the line of accountability? Is it ultimately advisory to you, you sign it off, or are you going to share that decision...

Leveson Inquiry (Supplementary) [8]

  • Question by: Murad Qureshi
  • Meeting date: 20 December 2012
Can I ask the Deputy Commissioner for a point of clarification on the Leveson recommendations? To what extent are they applicable to British publications getting hacked material from abroad?

Leveson Inquiry (Supplementary) [7]

  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 20 December 2012
With your indulgence, Chair, I wanted to cover two things briefly. The first I think is to Stephen Greenhalgh, which is that he is the lineal successor to [Lord] Toby Harris AM, Len Duvall AM [former Chairs of the MPA and then Kit Malthouse AM [former Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime]. They exercised their roles predominantly as chairs of the MPA with many members. I just wanted to, if you like, punch the bruise of Tony Arbour's question, which is that understanding and defining your role -- and you are not stupid by any stretch of the imagination. However...

Leveson Inquiry (Supplementary) [6]

  • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
  • Meeting date: 20 December 2012
Can we look at the MOPAC role now? My question is directly to Stephen. There are two questions and thank you. I think you have provided the Committee with some correspondence from the previous questions around this issue. Can you just explain to us how the MOPAC plans to oversee the Metropolitan Police Service implementation of the Leveson recommendations will work? I understand there was an Audit Committee yesterday. Can you also then demonstrate how yours and the Mayor's relationships with the press will be transparent? That was an item that I think you alluded to in the correspondence that...
