Statement by Len Duvall - MPA supports Commissioner and management team

51/07
25 October 2007

“The MPA fully supports the Commissioner and his management team and urges that they continue to work to the Authority’s strategic reform agenda, which is already delivering real benefits to Londoners.

“The Authority met in private session with the Commissioner and the Deputy at the Full Authority meeting today, to discuss issues that had arisen in the media over the past few days. There was overwhelming support for the Commissioner. No one moved a vote of no confidence.

“Policing in London is a serious business and the Authority advised the Commissioner and his team not to be distracted by unfounded and unattributable press briefings.

“The Authority fully endorsed the achievements of the Met over the past two and a half years while recognising there was still much work to be done.

“Members pledged to continue to support and work with the management team to deliver a high quality policing service for London, and to hold them rigorously to account for improving the operational performance of the Met.”
