Kit Malthouse: ...also targeted the wider road network—namely, the M1, M3 and M11. Dealing with that involved Surrey police, Essex police, Thames Valley police, Hertfordshire constabulary, Kent police, and the Metropolitan police as the lead force. A total of 241 arrests were made across those three days. On Monday, those groups attempted to block the carriageway at junction 1A of the M25 in Kent, the M25...
James Daly: ...had such political leadership for a long, long time. This is an important debate, and the first line of the Opposition motion says “this House is concerned about the negative impact of Government policy on the finances of working people”. The shadow Minister, the hon. Member for Houghton and Sunderland South (Bridget Phillipson), who is no longer in her place, framed that argument by...
Lord Wallace of Saltaire: ...of this country—the Scottish Borders, the West Country and East Anglia. I have heard from a number of Conservative Peers over the past few months the suggestion that all the Liberal elite are metropolitan. That is not the case. I suspect that the illiberal financial elite is a good deal more metropolitan than we are. I have some interests to declare. My wife was for some years a civil...
Sadiq Khan: The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) Directorate of Media and Communication currently has 92 staff. Staff work in a range of specialisms including the 24/7 press office, internal communications, campaigns/marketing and digital communication. Currently 39 of DMC’s staff work as media officers providing 24/7 press office support to operational colleagues to fight crime, respond to major...
Lord Bethell: ...In particular, I noted the physical attack on the MHRA headquarters in Canary Wharf 10 days ago. Videos of that attack really disturbed me; it was brutal, nasty and ferocious. I pay tribute to the Metropolitan Police, who responded extremely quickly and emphatically, and to professionals at the MHRA who had steady nerves on that Friday afternoon. We cannot operate in a society where...
Lord Davies of Gower: My Lords, I begin by calling noble Lords’ attention to my previous service in the Metropolitan Police. I look forward very much to my noble friend Lord Sandhurst’s maiden speech this evening. I do not need to remind your Lordships that the Bill covers many aspects. In the time allowed, I will dwell, perhaps superficially, on just a few that I feel are particularly noteworthy at this...
Sadiq Khan: To date, the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) have not sought to locate missing persons using live facial recognition policy. The MPS’s use of live facial recognition technology to locate a person on a watchlist is in line with its policy documents here: https://www.met.police.uk/SysSiteAssets/media/downloads/forc e-content/met/advice/lfr/mpf-lfr-guidance-document-v1-0.pdf.
Sadiq Khan: MOPAC is under a statutory duty to secure the efficiency and effectiveness of the Metropolitan Police Service and ensure that good value for money is obtained. MOPAC aims to maximise the value of assets that are surplus to need in order to release capital for re-investment in the retained estate and so supporting the objective that “officers are given the tools to do their job”. This is...

Baroness Barran: ...expert team of inspectors who provide first-rate advice across all areas of sports grounds safety to individual clubs and grounds. Additionally, the SGSA enforces the Government’s all-seater policy by issuing annual licenses to all grounds of clubs in the Premier League and Football League along with Wembley and the Principality Stadium. Under the Football Spectators Act 1989, the...
Sadiq Khan: The 10-year housing target for Enfield set out in my London Plan is based on the strategic policy objectives of protecting both the Green Belt/Metropolitan Open Land and London’s industrial capacity. This approach was supported by the evidence base that accompanied the London Plan and informed its development. London Plan policy E4 requires the provision and maintenance of a sufficient...
Sadiq Khan: My London Plan has a clear objective that Metropolitan Open Land should be afforded the same protection as Green Belt and protected from inappropriate development. The National Planning Policy Framework does allow development on protected open space if very special circumstances can be demonstrated. The number of planning permissions involving construction that would lead to a loss of...
Sadiq Khan: ...land back to the Wormwood Charitable Trust upon completion of the works. Once HS2 has completed its works and no longer requires the land, HS2 would have to act in accordance with its land disposal policy for surplus land which requires the land to be offered back to its former owners in certain circumstances. Nevertheless, OPDC will press HS2 to enter into an agreement with the landowners...

Lord Faulkner of Worcester: ...action to make it happen. These include cities such as Newcastle and Manchester, counties such as Durham and Northumberland, unitary authorities such as Middlesbrough and North Lincolnshire, and metropolitan boroughs such as North Tyneside, Gateshead and the London Borough of Brent. These regulations were debated in Grand Committee last Thursday. One of the most telling contributions was...
Sadiq Khan: ...for Londoners. I am committed to preserving and enhancing it. My London Plan clearly states that the Green Belt should be protected from inappropriate development. However, the National Planning Policy Framework does allow development on the Green Belt if very special circumstances can be demonstrated. The same applies to boroughs proposing to remove Green Belt designations in their local...
James Daly: The metropolitan borough of Bury currently has more than 2,000 children self-isolating, which is negatively impacting on their social, emotional and educational development. I welcome and recognise my right hon. Friend’s commitment to keeping children in school, but does he recognise and agree—I am sure he does—that we cannot allow this situation to continue? Surely we must learn to...
Baroness Williams of Trafford: I agree with the noble Baroness and I thank her for the work she has done to bring forward this report, which I am sure will be a source of learning for both the Government and the Metropolitan Police. Regarding the policies and procedures and what has changed since the murder of Daniel Morgan, as the noble Baroness probably knows, a code of ethics for the police was introduced in 2014, and...
Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle: ...Lord Teverson, who introduced it so powerfully. On democracy, the noble Lord pointed out how many local authorities have declared a climate emergency. In fact, 74% of district, county, unitary and metropolitan councils have done that, plus eight combined authorities and city regions. Sheffield Council has just declared a biodiversity emergency, as have Eden District Council and Dorset, so...
Victoria Atkins: ...know that, through the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill, we are looking at measures in the criminal justice system, and while I do not for a moment pretend that I am creating Government policy at the Dispatch Box, I would certainly welcome an opportunity to discuss with her, perhaps outside the Chamber, the sorts of measures that she raises. It would have to be a matter on which...
