§ Mrs. GordonTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis to publish full-year data for the performance of the Metropolitan police in relation to its policing plan for 1999–2000. [126743]
§ Mr. StrawThe Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis included performance data for the first 11 months of the last financial year, and projected performance in its final month, in his Policing and Performance Plan for 2000–01 which he published on 31 March, on the Metropolitan police website http://www.met.police.uk.
The Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis tells me that he expects to publish a hard-copy version of the Plan on 21 June. This will include full-year performance data for 1999–2000. These data confirm, I understand, the provisional out-turns included in the version of the Plan published on 31 March.
It may benefit right hon. and hon. Members, in particular those preparing to take part in the debate on the policing of London which, subject to the demands of business, we hope the House will be able to hold before the end of this month, to have early sight of the hard-copy version of the Plan. I am, therefore, today placing proof copies of the Plan in the Vote Office, and in the Library.
