• Question by: Andrew Pelling
• Meeting date: 26 February 2003

Thank you very much, Chair, and also to my colleague, Roger Evans, for allowing the swap of the question order. I have some sympathy, surprisingly, with Sutton Council who obviously will be concerned by a process where they have not delivered on other projects for which they have applied for money from TfL because there has been very strong pressure from residents suggesting that the proposals are not appropriate. We have another example here of a proposal from Sutton Council which has created a lot of concern about how well TfL's money is being spent by Sutton Council. There is...

That is not for you to say.

• Question by: Eric Ollerenshaw
• Meeting date: 10 December 2003

Eric Ollerenshaw (AM): It is a pity I cannot ask you to comment on Nicky Gavron's or Simon Hughes' proposals for youth, because obviously we do not know them and they do not exist yet. But at least we might be prepared to admit that Steve Norris, the Conservative candidate who now seems to be fascinating the Labour benches, has some positive proposals in terms of a key issue, which you have acknowledged and indeed Sir John has acknowledged. Even though I think it is a bit unwise for him to comment on what the Mayoral candidates are saying to...

• Question by: Noel Lynch
• Meeting date: 10 December 2003

Noel Lynch (AM): In your opening remarks you mentioned the TV images and the predominance of attacks on older people, when in actual fact it is most towards young people. Of course, the problem now is that over 50% of over 75s are afraid to leave their houses because they are afraid of getting attacked. What can you do to allay their fears?

• Question by: Graham Tope
• Meeting date: 10 December 2003

Graham Tope (AM): Perhaps I may direct this at Sir John as well. The LSE and South Bank University study on Policing for London found that dissatisfaction with the police was greatest amongst the young. They said that their `focus groups brought out the intensity with which many young people see police activity as biased against them and based on negative stereotypes of youth'. What is being done to address that perception? More particularly, where do children and young people fit into models of community-based policing that we are hoping to move towards?

Diana Johnson (AM): It is about the Cadet Corps. As the link member for Havering, Barking and Dagenham I have been very impressed by their Cadet Corps. What do you think is the future for the Cadet Corps?
