Mayor fails to provide leadership on ending perks for senior police officers
November 11, 2009 1:30 PM
Dee Doocey, the Liberal Democrat London Assembly policing spokesperson, commenting on the Mayor's reply to her question at today's London Assembly Plenary urging him to ensure that chauffeur driven cars are ended for senior Met police offices said:
"Once again the Mayor has failed to provide clear leadership on this issue. Why can't he simply answer the question as to whether he wants to see the end of chauffeur driven cars for senior Met officers?
"The perk at present is costing taxpayer's nearly £2 million a year. This is a shocking level of waste, which could instead pay for an extra 30 police officers.
"The Mayor spends his time writing articles calling for Government Ministers to have their cars taken away but then fails to provide any guidance on an issue that is actually under his control."
