    Appendix 1 Police and Crime Committee – 29 January 2014 Transcript of Item 3: Discussion with the Mayor on the Proposed Deployment of Water Cannon by the Metropolitan Police Service Joanne McCartney AM (Chair): Then we move to our main item, which is looking at proposals for the Metropolitan Police Service to purchase water cannon. Before I start, this is the first of a series of three meetings we have. We have this meeting today to question the Mayor. Tomorrow we are questioning the Deputy Mayor [for Policing and Crime, Stephen Greenhalgh] and the Deputy Commissioner [Craig Mackey]. Then next week we have Sir Hugh Orde [President, Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO)] and a representative from Liberty and an academic as well who we are talking to, looking at some of the broader issues around this. Perhaps I could start the questioning today and my question is to the Mayor initially. In December 2010 you said you had no plans to bring in water cannon in London. You stated at that time that you did not want to see an arms race developing between the police and protesters. Can I ask what has changed your mind? Boris Johnson (Mayor of London): Very simply, I reiterate what I said. I do not want to see an arms race and I do not think that necessarily would be caused by having water cannon at the disposal of the Metropolitan Police Service. What has changed, really, is that ACPO has done a study about some of the situations in which water cannon might be used and it has concluded that there could be circumstances in which life could be saved and serious injury could be prevented.

  • Strong Mayors' Leadership Capital: New York, London & Amsterdam
    STRONG MAYORS’ LEADERSHIP CAPITAL: NEW YORK, LONDON & AMSTERDAM (2000-2016) by Max William Stafford Canterbury Christ Church University Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2019 1 Abstract This thesis examines mayors and their interaction with their institutional limits. In particular, it considers, from the perspective of political leadership studies, how far mayors fitting the strong-mayor typology are able to assert their will in the face of these institutional limits. David Sweeting’s expositions on the strong-mayor model, supplemented by those of other theorists, form the thesis’ theoretical framework. This framework is applied to three original case studies (Michael Bloomberg in New York and Ken Livingstone & Boris Johnson in London). A fourth case study, of Job Cohen in Amsterdam, follows these and offers alternative perspectives (based upon the application a model of an appointed mayoralty). The analytical tool chosen – the Leadership Capital Index (LCI) – is a recent innovation in political leadership studies. The thesis’ findings demonstrate that there was clear potential for all of the mayors within the systems examined to assert their political will. What varies is how far mayors in different forms of strong-mayor systems can do this and how they achieve it. With regard to the LCI, the study concludes that it needs further development if it is to achieve longevity in terms of its place in the field. The thesis ends by outlining the future research agenda emerging as a result of this study. 2 Table of Contents Abstract ................................................................................................................................ 2 Acknowledgements .............................................................................................................. 7 List of Tables and Figures ..................................................................................................... 8 List of Interviewees* ..........................................................................................................

Whereas under the previous administration we proposed wide-ranging alterations across all of the GLA Group to hold the Council Tax precept down to a more reasonable and realistic level in the face of a belligerent Mayor keen to squeeze every penny out of Londoners, we now have in Boris Johnson a far more responsible Mayor who is pressing down on costs across all the functional bodies and favouring a more realistic budget than his predecessor. We welcome the freeze in the precept for an unprecedented fourth year running. Ken Livingstone never got close to achieving a precept freeze or of even trying to do so even despite his Mayoralty coinciding with a time of financial prosperity.
