You previously suggested that the Met would be looking at their data and assessing the effectiveness and use of tasers in their policing and whether this had a negative impact on not just public safety but also that of officers. Has such a study been conducted and if so, what were the findings? If such a study has not been undertaken can you commit to one as soon as possible?

There was a 22 per cent rise in stop and search across London between March and April of this year. Do you support the sharp rise in the use of stop and search in London during the lockdown and do you think it will help to build trust with the police?

Data for January and February of this year shows that black men accounted for 33 per cent of incidents where police force was deployed, despite black Londoners only making up around 12 per cent of London’s population. Why do you think this is, and how are you working to improve relationships between those in BAME communities and the police?
