  • Transparency in the Metropolitan Police Service (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    Yes, thank you, Chair. I have a couple of questions for the Commissioner and for the Mayor. It is moving away; it is still on transparency but it is moving away from the topic raised by my colleague. Roger Evans AM (Chair): Not too far. Jennette Arnold OBE AM (Deputy Chair): Not too far but it is just to do with transparency. My question is in terms of transparency, in terms of what the MPS says and what the MPS does. I think that is really a good link. I want to ask the Commissioner in terms of what the...

    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    Commissioner, is the Metropolitan Police planning any more days of action to help tackle knife crime following the success of Operation Big Wing?
  • Transparency in the Metropolitan Police Service

    • Reference: 2014/4965
    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    Should the Met Police promote trust through transparency by having a compulsory public register of interests including membership of organisations such as the freemasons?
  • Meeting London’s Current and Future Policing Needs (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    My first set of questions are actually for the Commissioner, if I may, and I have some for the Mayor following that. Thank you for the comments about the Autumn Statement and the difficulties financially that the police are going to have in the future. A couple of weeks ago the Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime talked about drastic and dangerous police cuts which will have to happen. You have talked, I believe, today, and I have certainly had reports from ITN, that it would be difficult to maintain the 32,000 police officers on an ongoing basis. Could I...
  • Meeting London’s Current and Future Policing Needs (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    Thank you, Chair. Good afternoon, Commissioner. Good afternoon, Mayor. Commissioner, can I just talk to you about police response times? I can see from the tables which MOPAC has provided to us that the emergency response times of the police across London for the past two years have slipped in the wrong direction, particularly for Category S, which is the ‘respond in one hour’, and Category E, which is the ‘respond to within 48 hours’. Second and third priority response times have gotten worse. I notice this particularly because it has affected my own borough; Southwark have lost 5% of...
  • Meeting London’s Current and Future Policing Needs (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    Commissioner, could I go back to the conundrum about the future cuts in budgets and the increasing number of officers and, therefore, the increasing percentage that their pay will be. You have already said that pay is a huge percentage of your budget. As you increase offices you are actually brining the point at which it becomes inefficient and you are going to have to backfill officers into support staff roles, eve closer, are you not? If you stick with this what is a fairly arbitrary number of 32,000, or even what has been described as a ‘fetish’ for the...
  • Climate Change Action Plan and London's Buildings

    • Reference: 2008/0001
    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    How does the Mayor intend to meet his environmental and housing objectives?
  • Climate Change Action Plan and London's Buildings (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Do you not find that they are absolutely grotesque to look at? I am a great one for doing what can be done but I also believe that the best way to encourage people to do the right thing is to make it possible for them to do the right thing. Is it not going to be absolutely vital that we get these light bulbs designed in a way that is acceptable to people because the light is appalling and they look absolutely grotesque?
  • Climate Change Action Plan and London's Buildings (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Given that the Assembly's Environment Committee investigation into the barriers that ordinary Londoners faced in terms of greening their homes showed that one of the biggest barriers that Londoners faced, even though they were enthusiastic about wanting to do something, was the lack of practical advice and information, does it not suggest that the comparatively low take-up we have seen so far suggests we need a more aggressive marketing campaign that reaches Londoners rather than less emphasis on marketing and getting the message out?
  • Climate Change Action Plan and London's Buildings (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 16 January 2008
    Thank you very much. You have told us lots about your good intentions and your principles and so on - and indeed about 90% of what you have said was about your intentions - but not what you have actually achieved. That really is rather like the expenditure that there has been on these programmes. Is it good value for money that, of the £2.7 million that has been spent on the Green Homes programme, £2.2 million of that has been spent on publicity and only £300,000 on actual insulation grant? Would you not say that the whole thing is...
