  • 2017 Terrorist Attacks MI5 and CTP Reviews Implementation Stock-Take
    2017 TERRORIST ATTACKS MI5 AND CTP REVIEWS IMPLEMENTATION STOCK-TAKE UNCLASSIFIED SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS by DAVID ANDERSON (LORD ANDERSON OF IPSWICH K.B.E. Q.C.) 11 JUNE 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • This is the unclassified summary of a stock-take of the progress made by MI5 and Counter-Terrorism Policing (CTP) in implementing the recommendations arrived at in the Operational Improvement Review and Post-Attack Reviews of 2017. It summarises progress to 31st January 2019 and looks in greater depth in some key areas: use of data, management of closed subjects of interest (CSOIs), multi-agency centre (MAC) pilots, and non-Islamist extremism. • Both MI5 and CTP were conscientious and frank in providing me with the documents and briefings required. I was able to meet and question several dozen security officials, police officers and others, including the senior management of each organisation. • Implementation has been tackled with energy and commitment. As of 24 January 2019, 85% of the 104 recommendations were complete (63%) or on track for delivery (22%). With possible very limited exceptions the recommendations were forecast to be complete on schedule, by Q4 2019. • Good progress has been made for example on data discovery projects, CSOI management and non-Islamist terrorism. Positive results have been noted from some of the reforms, but it has not yet been possible to make an authoritative assessment of their overall benefits or of any opportunity cost. • Obstacles to delivery remain, notably in the fields of data, information management and multi-agency interventions. Progress on Prevent data-sharing has been delayed while officials across government work up a proposal for ministerial approval.

  • Mayor's Report June 2019
    32nd Mayor’s Report to the Assembly Mayor’s Question Time – 20th June 2019 This is my Thirty-Second Mayor’s Report to the Assembly, fulfilling my duty under Section 45 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999. It covers the period from 3rd May – 6th June 2019. Executive Summary Third round of Good Growth Fund to open in the Autumn On 6 June, I announced, as part of the third round of the Good Growth Fund, a further £20 million in funding to help London’s town centres, high streets and local regeneration projects. I am determined to address some of the big challenges facing our communities and ensure Londoners have a big say in the future of their city. Volunteers’ Week 2019 – Poppy Appeal and 75th anniversary of D-Day landings On 5 June, I joined staff at City Hall using one of their annual days of volunteering leave to help create over 750 boxes for this year’s Poppy Appeal, in support of the Royal British Legion and to mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day landings. The day of action coincided with Volunteers’ Week 2019 to recognise the invaluable and diverse contribution volunteers make. Increased investment to track knife crime offenders On 31 May, I announced a programme to tag knife crime offenders with a tracking device on release from prison. This includes an increased investment of more than £700,000 to expand the programme to 20 boroughs across the capital to cut reoffending. New London Housing Panel On 30 May, I announced the 15 leading organisations from across the voluntary and community sectors which will form the new independent London Housing Panel and help shape my housing policies for the capital.

  • Counterterrorism in the United Kingdom Module III: the UK’S Counterterrorism Structure and the Pursuit of Terrorists
    Counterterrorism in the United Kingdom Module III: The UK’s Counterterrorism Structure and the Pursuit of Terrorists PAUL JONATHAN SMITH CENTER FOR HOMELAND DEFENSE AND SECURITY DEPT. OF NATIONAL SECURITY AFFAIRS NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL Slide 1 Opening Credits Music Slide 2 Counterterrorism in the UK: Module III: Counterterrorism Structure and the Pursuit of Terrorists By Paul Jonathan Smith Slide 3 Domestic Counterterrorism Structure PURSUE is the fourth and final strand of CONTEST, the UK’s national counterterrorism policy. The British domestic counterterrorism structure is comprised of four elements: 1. The British Security Service (MI5): MI5 is the UK’s domestic security agency, which coordinates the collection and assessment of all UK domestic counterterrorism intelligence. 2. The Special Branches in each UK police force: These officers work in close cooperation with MI5 to collect counterterrorism intelligence within their local force area. 3. The Metropolitan Police Service Counter Terrorism Command: This unit, based in New Scotland Yard, coordinates the national police response to counterterrorism intelligence and supervises the collection of evidence for charging suspected terrorists. 4. The Crown Prosecution Service: This is the legal branch of experienced lawyers, called barristers, which receives counterterrorism evidence from police and represents the Crown in the prosecution of terrorists. Most counterterrorism cases are tried at the Central Criminal Court, commonly known as Old Bailey, in London. This structure relies on a clear understanding of each organisation’s role, a well-rehearsed interagency system that facilitates the appropriate handling of counterterrorism intelligence to generate compelling evidence, and a legal system that delivers successful convictions and protects sensitive operational sources and techniques, without losing “the hearts and minds” of the Muslim population.

  • Portland Place
    DRAFT CHAPTER 17 Portland Place With its exceptional width and Adam architecture, Portland Place was one of the outstanding developments of its day, and despite extensive and often insensitive change remains one of London’s most memorable streets. Among the many post-Adam buildings, Broadcasting House and the headquarters of the Royal Institute of British Architects, both dating from the 1930s, are of major national significance. Though the Adams’ scheme for terraces of spacious and highly sophisticated townhouses was to be fully realized in Portland Place, it was not matched by financial rewards, and from a business point of view came close to disaster. The brothers’ involvement locally covered much more than just Portland Place, notably Mansfield Street, where their development began in the late 1760s, while land to either side of Portland Place was built up by others working under them, including large parts of Devonshire, New Cavendish, Hallam and Great Portland Streets – and a short stretch of Harley Street (see Ill. 17.3). But Portland Place was where the Adams’ energies and architectural flair were chiefly concentrated. Nash’s additions at either end – Park Crescent, Upper Regent Street and Langham Place (including the later Langham Hotel) – are discussed in succeeding chapters. For a century Portland Place was one of London’s most exclusive residential streets. But the big, expensive-to-run houses had lost their appeal by the early 1900s, when taller blocks of flats, often in a Beaux-Arts style, began to take their place. Subdivision and medical use, resisted at first by the Portland Estate, saved some; others have survived as legations and embassies.

  • A “Get Acquainted with the Neighborhood” Walk
    A “get acquainted with the neighborhood” walk Along the way you should find a Kinko’s (near the hotel) where you can purchase internet access, and along the way you will find several ATMs. Turn left (east) leaving our hotel, the Washington Mayfair, 5 Curzon Street. 1 – 4 Curzon Street was the home of Curzon House. Curzon House, the block immediately across the alley from the hotel, used to house the British Security Service MI 5. In 1994, MI 5 moved to Thames House adjacent to Lambeth Bridge. Walk along Curzon, and immediately past the block that used to contain Curzon House, off to the left, you’ll see Berkeley (pr. barkly) Square. On the west side of the square (the side nearer the hotel) is 40 Berkeley Square – an early OSS (United States’ Office of Strategic Services) office. OSS is a forerunner of the CIA. Cross the square and turn right onto Berkeley Street heading (south) for Piccadilly. 7 – 9 Berkeley Street was the home of the diplomatic and commercial section of the World War II Government Code and Cipher School (GCCS); the military section was housed at Bletchley Park. Bletchley Park’s original head, Commander Alastair Denniston, was exiled to Berkeley Street in 1942 because of some internal problems at Bletchley Park. Turn left (east) at Piccadilly and walk to the Piccadilly Circus tube station (Piccadilly line and Bakerloo line). Piccadilly Circus has been in the news lately because of the alleged poisoning of the former KGB agent at a sushi restaurant at Piccadilly Circus.
