SIR IAN BLAIR (No. 2)

Motion Text

That this House welcomes the commitment of Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair to community policing in London, including the early roll-out of Safer Neighbourhood Teams throughout the remainder of the capital by April this year as a result of initiatives he has taken; further welcomes Sir Ian's commitment to ensuring the diversity of London is recognised both within the Metropolitan Police Service and in its policing style; recognises that whilst the terrorist threat remains real, the Metropolitan Police has had continuing success in foiling plots aimed at death and destruction within London; and expresses its full confidence in his leadership of London's police.
