The Transport for London (TfL) lane rental scheme is due to end in March 2019. This summer the Government is supposed to consult on the future of the scheme and the potential for the same powers to be given to local authorities. Are you able to give an update on the timing of that consultation?

Deputy Commissioner Mackay and Crime Victims (2)

  • Reference: 2017/3579
  • Question by: Peter Whittle
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
To ask the mayor if anyone at New Scotland Yard foresaw the media firestorm that would follow Deputy Commissioner Mackay's comments in the Evening Standard on 25 August 2017 and if not, why not?

Deputy Commissioner Mackay and Crime Victims (1)

  • Reference: 2017/3578
  • Question by: Peter Whittle
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
I have noted the controversy generated by the comments made by Deputy Commissioner Mackey in the Evening Standard on 25 August 2017 that crime victims may not get a visit from the police if they speak good English. Has the Metropolitan Police now changed this policy so that all victims are treated equally, irrespective of what language they speak? Londoners expect police to respond according to the seriousness of the offence - not the personal circumstances of the victim.

  • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
