Question

Taser

I want to move on and pick up the issue of Taser. I presume you have a briefing sheet there on Taser.

Answer

Date: Wednesday 20 June 2012

Yes, I will move on because time is moving on. Moving on to particularly burglary and robbery. I mentioned earlier directly to the Commissioner that these are crimes that affect many, many people and often are the crimes that touch many people in the sort of areas that I represent, be it burglary of their homes, often robbery which often affects their young people in town centres. It is often a disproportionate affecting crime. It does worry me somewhat that the figures on robbery and burglary do seem to be going in the wrong direction over a period of time, both pan-London and in particular one of my boroughs. I would hope that this is something that you will be turning your glare on the Commissioner to hold him to account about. Have you got any observations around this worrying trend?
