The HMICFRS Report Divergence Under Pressure

  • Reference: 2020/0453
  • Question by: Peter Whittle
  • Meeting date: 24 February 2020
I note the report Divergence Under Pressure issued by Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) on 7 February 2020, which stated that the public is increasingly not bothering to report certain types of crime. Is this development placing the relationship between the police and the public in jeopardy? https://www.justiceinspectorates.gov.uk/hmicfrs/news/news-feed/noticeab…

Hailo

  • Question by: David Kurten
  • Meeting date: 24 February 2020
In your answer to MQ 2019/17376 you stated that Hailo (now known as Free Now) is outside of TfL’s regulatory remit and it is a stakeholder that TfL engages with on a regular basis, but you did not answer the central question about whether TfL’s general manager for taxis and private hire carried out an investigation in 2013 about Hailo’s minimum fare policy and if so, what was the outcome of that investigation? https://www.standard.co.uk/news/transport/not-fare-taxi-app-in-10-minim…

Unaffordable shared ownership homes

  • Reference: 2020/0450
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 24 February 2020
A constituent has written to me about the Homebase Development on Manor Road, in the London Borough of Richmond. They inform me that the developer will receive GLA grant funding to build shared ownership homes, which are being marketed to people with a household income of over £67,000 (1 bedroom) and over £80,000 (2 bedrooms). Do you agree that shared ownership homes marketed on these terms are out of reach for many Londoners, such as key workers, on normal wages?

Information sharing between police forces on missing persons

  • Reference: 2020/0449
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 24 February 2020
A constituent is concerned that when they enquired at a Network Rail station to British Transport Police (BTP) about a vulnerable older missing person they were helping family members to search for, who had been reported to the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS), they were told that the MPS: “doesn’t pass missing person incidents on to us.” Is it true that this is the policy that is followed by these police services and, if not, what is the policy?
