Met's gifts and hospitality register is a great step forward
September 15, 2011 7:00 PM
Dee Doocey, the Liberal Democrat London Assembly policing spokeswoman and member of the MPA, commenting on the publication by the Metropolitan Police Service of a detailed register of gifts and hospitality received by senior Met officers said:
"I very much welcome the new register. However there is more work to be done to achieve full transparency and I am delighted the new Commissioner sees this as a priority
"Over many months I have been urging the Met to be entirely open about the gifts and hospitality that senior officers receive. Until now it has been like pulling teeth getting any information out of the Met.
"This new register should ensure that the days of secret dinners between senior Met officers and media executives are finally behind us."
