Transcript of this meeting [PDF]

I am conscious that we are over time now, Jennette [Arnold] --Jennette Arnold (AM): Can I just say your JEMs work is all very well. I would alsolike clarification that it is borough commanders who are reporting back to eitherLynne Owens as soon as possible (ASAP) as it happens in their borough, week by weekand day by day, rather than the three month trip(?) you do. Do we have that assurancethat this is a priority for borough commanders to be reporting back because anywithdrawal from partnership monies will have consequences and that consequence willimpact on the young people in some areas of London?Kit Malthouse (Chairman): Yes. OK. All done? OK. Fine. That is it for questions.We have got reports from Committees. Is there anything to report, Chief Executive?Catherine Crawford (Chief Executive, MPA): I do not think so, Chairman. Unlessanyone has any queries on the report that has been circulated?Kit Malthouse (Chairman): No? OK. Any other urgent business?Jenny Jones (AM): I put my hand up, Chairman.Kit Malthouse (Chairman): Did you? For what?Jenny Jones (AM): A Member of the MPA has not turned up today, did not sendapologies and is, therefore, absent. Can we record that in the minutes and can youperhaps, as Chairman, deal with that? I just think that is a bit rude.Kit Malthouse (Chairman): Yes. The absence is recorded. It is half term.Jenny Jones (AM): Apologies would have been appropriate.Kit Malthouse (Chairman): Yes, it would. Not everybody gives apologies. OK.Great.Can I just raise something that arises from our earlier discussion? I think all of us on theMPA, when we are using this public forum to question the Commissioner, have to beextremely careful about the language that we use because what we say gets reportedvirtually immediately. Despite, I am afraid, Dee [Doocey], your apology for your use oflanguage earlier, that use of language is now already running in the media. That is anextremely unfortunate situation and I am afraid, Commissioner, we will have to offer youour collective apologies for that. I would just remind Members about their responsibility.We as a group have a responsibility for maintaining confidence amongst Londoners thatboth the MPS and we are doing our job. Admittedly this is often a robust forum and itshould be robust. I think we just have to be careful about, sometimes, the language that isused. I include myself in that as much as everybody else.www.merrillcorp.com52
