Commissioner, the Merseyside Independent Sexual Violence Adviser Scheme has been remarkably successful in that there has been a 400% increase in the number of women willing to give their details and report crimes to the police. 83% of those charged with offences against prostitutes have been convicted and 95% of the women involved have exited prostitution. Will you look in to the options for implementing the Merseyside Independent Sexual Violence Adviser scheme (ISCA) scheme across London?

Quickly, following on Mr Tracey's question, do you anticipate there being a greater likelihood of civic unrest in the near future?

Commissioner, it is pleasing to hear from you your commitment to safer neighbourhoods and Safer Neighbourhood Teams. My feedback to you is that they are something that are massively important to Londoners and there has been an immense amount of credit built up over the last half a dozen, eight years, with the evolution of them. First of all I want to explore your thoughts around the future and how you see Safer Neighbourhood Teams balanced with maintaining response teams balanced with back office duties. The commitment is there from you and I would like you to repeat it again...

I would like to take us back to civil liberties. In view of the various reports that have come out and following on from the comments that have been asked on community cohesion, I am a little concerned and want your reassurance that the police will still support the public's right to public protest while not, of course, condoning violence.

I wanted to ask about the strategy for delivering a strategic plan and borough plans, particularly on front counters. Four years ago we had borough plans and the incoming Mayor put them on hold saying he wanted a review. It seems that four year, in effect, has been lost and we still do not have a strategic plan for London but for each borough. I am glad you are coming out and you are looking at it again. Can you guarantee me that you will have a borough plan for each borough that will be consulted on in public before...

Has the Metropolitan Police Service got any plans to close D Division police stations in the north of the city of Westminster and send all the response teams from the south? This is something that ex-policemen in the neighbourhood have suggested is on the drawing board and people are concerned that you will not be able to respond to the gang warfare we have got in Queen's Park from Bulgaria.

Thank you, Madam Chairman. Acting Commissioner, the feedback I have had from a number of police officers of various ranks with regard to public order policing over the last 18 months is that there is an atmosphere of 'damned if you do, damned if you don't'. You used the phrase 'robust enforcement' and, as you say, there have been numerous examples of police officers both collectively and as individuals showing enormous levels of bravery, and that needs to be recognised. Do you currently feel that the response that you need to have in situations like this is getting the political...

): First of all, Acting Commissioner, again I would like to repeat the acknowledgement of the bravery of officers that night over in Croydon, Sutton and across London. I have been looking forward to the inquiry and the review and the evidence that will be given to that inquiry from this building and elsewhere. A couple of the points I would like to explore have already been touched upon by both of you. Clearly, from a Croydon point of view, Croydon and Tottenham and one or two others were the most seriously affected. Clearly, I have a lot of knowledge...

Tim, I have nothing but admiration for the men and women who faced down rioters. I just find the whole thing quite extraordinary, and I think we should wait until we have all the facts before rushing to judgement. I think that is very important. I just have a couple of questions of detail for you. Is there a system in place whereby, when there is an emergency, you can very quickly call in officers either by having radio announcements, like they do for nurses and doctors, or by another form of communication? That is my first question.

• Question by: Brian Coleman
• Meeting date: 07 September 2011

Will our two witnesses accept that London owes them personally a deep debt of gratitude for the leadership they showed in August; Mr Malthouse in filling the vacuum of political leadership, and you, Mr Godwin, in providing leadership? Can I also pay tribute to the Deputy Assistant Commissioner, Stephen Kavanagh, who played a leading role and was excellent on the media, and to my own Borough Commander in Barnet, Chief Superintendant Basu, who played a blinder, which meant we had no trouble in Barnet. My question is to Mr Godwin. Other than increased budgets, because every officer always wants increased...
