Early day motion 1557, tabled 1 February 2006 by Andrew Dismore (Labour). Signed by 30 members.

That this House welcomes the commitment of Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair to community policing in London, including the early roll-out of Safer Neighbourhood Teams throughout the remainder of the capital by April this year as a result of initiatives he has taken; further welcomes Sir Ian's commitment to ensuring the diversity of London is recognised both within the Metropolitan Police Service and in its policing style; recognises that whilst the terrorist threat remains real, the Metropolitan Police has had continuing success in foiling plots aimed at death and destruction within London; and expresses its full confidence in his leadership of London's police.
