Open data on police workforce strength

  • Reference: 2012/1278
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 23 May 2012
I welcome your crime manifesto commitment to publishing monthly comparable crime figures and police numbers for every borough to ensure transparency and accountability. Will this include monthly comparable figures for overall workforce strength, including numbers for police officers, PCSOs, special constables and civilian staff employed by the Metropolitan Police Force in every borough?

Open data

  • Reference: 2012/1277
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 23 May 2012
Following your success in launching the London Datastore, you have pledged to publish more data. In your address to GLA staff on the 10th May you pledged to use this approach to generate consensus about the facts. In order to achieve this, will you work collaboratively with the London Assembly to agree a list or schedule of statistics to be published in the London Datastore?

Public trust in GLA group statistics

  • Reference: 2012/1276
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 23 May 2012
Following calls from Full Fact during the election campaign, will you review your decision not to commit the GLA group to following the Code of Practice for Official Statistics, which I suggested to you in March 2011? Signing up would help to promote public trust in the use of statistics.

Commitments for LGBT community

  • Reference: 2012/1275
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 23 May 2012
There appear to be no commitments in your manifesto for the LGBT community. What can the LGBT community of London expect from you over the coming four years?

Trees in new developments

  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 23 May 2012
How do you intend to use your planning powers to require developers to plant more trees? Do you have a timetable for planning policy and guidance on this subject?

Childcare costs in London

  • Reference: 2012/1273
  • Question by: Jenny Jones

Wildlife Crime Unit

  • Reference: 2012/1272
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 23 May 2012
Will you ensure that the Metropolitan Police Wildlife Crime Unit receives the necessary support, including an adequate budget without reliance on contributions from charities, to continue its work protecting animals from the illegal wildlife trade?

Olympic Tickets

  • Reference: 2012/1269
  • Question by: Stephen Knight
  • Meeting date: 23 May 2012
Further to your statement made at Mayor's Question Time on the 22nd February 2012 where you stated "All I can say is that I fully share the desire of the Assembly for transparency. The short answer to your question, Dee (Doocey), is yes, we will be raising this at the Olympic Board", please can you confirm whether you have attended an Olympic Board meeting since 22nd February, and if not what were the reasons for your non-attendance or cancellation of these scheduled meetings? Please outline any other actions you have taken to support the London Assembly's long standing call for...

UK Statistics Authority - Code of Practice

  • Question by: Stephen Knight
