    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 10 December 2003
    One of the issues I wanted to raise, and I think Elizabeth Howlett alluded to this, is that there is no commitment for extra beat officers under the Conservative proposals. But what happens if you do strip out resources from some of the essential services, such as the Serious Crime Squad, to fund community policing as Richard Barnes outlined and that we are all meant to be supportive of, although some of us do not want to pay for it?

  • Cost of Capital City and Security Functions (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Meg Hillier
    • Meeting date: 10 December 2003
    I would like to turn to New Year's Eve. This may be more of a question for the Commissioner, but last year we heard from one of the Mayor's advisers that New Year's Eve is not an event but a public order issue. What has your advice been to the Mayor about the policing of New Year this year and of the rugby celebrations on Monday? Are there any events you would strongly advise the Mayor not to proceed with because you would be concerned about not being able to police them safely?

  • Cost of Capital City and Security Functions (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 10 December 2003
    As I understand, a little while ago there was no safety plan in place because it was not clear what New Year's Eve would constitute. At the Authority meeting yesterday I think Sir John implied that it remained the case. Can you update us? Have you been properly told what is planned for New Year's Eve and do you have a safety plan in place for that, given that today is 10 December, just three weeks away?

    But you're not forced into set objectives and then measured against the achievement of those objectives?

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 12 June 2002
    The Mayor, we know, is an elected politician, and we know where he comes from politically. The Deputy Mayor is elected; we know where she comes from politically. Some of the Mayoral Advisors are described as having political links with various pressure groups, for example Socialist International and Socialist Action. Do you have any links with that?

    • Meeting date: 12 June 2002
    My final question is about the quality of advice that the Mayor gets. I know this has been probed a little bit earlier, but I think we all know that, yourself excluded, the Mayor's advisors include a range of people who have political baggage behind them. How do you ensure that the Mayor gets good advice, notwithstanding thatadvisors may carry with them prejudices that help to inform their advice?
