Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Alan Johnson (Labour). It was answered on Monday, 6 September 2010 on behalf of the Home Office.
Police Accountability
- Question
- If the Conservative party believes so fervently in direct accountability, why is the unelected deputy Mayor chairing the London Metropolitan Police Authority?
- Answer
-
It is entirely a matter for the Mayor whether he wishes to delegate those functions. That is permissible in London, but ultimately the buck stops with the Mayor and Londoners know that.
