Thank you for your response to my question 2018/1772. In your response, you seem to suggest that this policing activity from the pilot Operation Shield is still operational. Could you provide a detailed briefing to explain this policing operation and the circumstances in which the Metropolitan Police Service will threaten the family of an alleged criminal with eviction?

The Notting Hill Carnival is Europe's biggest street festival, celebrating the culture of black and other diverse communities that live in London.

When reading The London Needs You Alive Toolkit, I was pleased not to see any images of knives in the lesson plans that are designed to encourage people to stay away from that type of violence. Has MOPAC now adopted a trauma-informed approach to knife education lessons, which focuses on teaching the consequences and improves critical thinking as a way of communicating a positive message away from crime, rather than showing images of knives? Will MOPAC be sharing details of this approach with the Metropolitan Police Service?

Thank you for your response to my question 2016/4613, including the Operation Close Pass and the evolved Space for Cyclists initiatives led by the Roads and Transport Policing Command's Cycle Safety Team.

The MOPAC Youth reoffending dashboard only shows data up to March 2015. Have you spoken to the Ministry of Justice to ask why there is a two-year delay when releasing reoffending data? When will MOPAC update this dashboard?

I welcome your commitment to review the level of threshold that applies in your fast track planning process in 2021. Based on your monitoring of the policy to date, do you already anticipate a higher minimum threshold level being beneficial and viable in future and, if so, will you put this expectation into the supporting text of the London Plan?

Although you have said you will only require councils to hold resident ballots for estate redevelopment schemes where your funding is involved, a number of councils are now voluntarily applying this policy to their own developments. Given that you consider that your Good Practice Guide represents best practice, will you encourage all councils to have a voluntary policy on holding binding ballots?

Could you publish any analysis you have done looking at the expected impact, in terms of scheme size and the amount of affordable housing provision, of setting the trigger for resident ballots on estates at a proposed scheme size of 150 homes, and will you consider lowering this threshold if it leads to developers proposing smaller schemes to avoid ballots?
