The January meeting of the Metropolitan Police Authority will be held in The Chamber, City Hall, The Queen’s Walk, London SE1 2AA at 10.00 a.m. on Thursday 27 January 2011.

The meeting is open to members of the public and press, and everyone is welcome to attend. There is access for disabled people and induction loops are available. 

Kit Malthouse, chair of the MPA, will give an oral update on any key issues or events since the last Authority meeting. Acting Commissioner Tim Godwin will present a report on policing performance and respond to questions from Authority members.

A petition has been received by the Authority from Zain Sardar (Young Greens National Coordinator) which seeks the MPA to ban the tactic of containment:

"We the undersigned call for the Metropolitan Police Authority to ban the tactic of containment (kettling) of demonstrations, where there is not the threat of violence between conflicting groups of protesters, as it damages the community’s trust in the police and confidence in the right to protest."

 A response to the petition will be provided at the meeting.

Amongst other items, members will discuss:

• Policing London Business Plan: to consider the Policing London Business Plan
• Policing and Social Responsibility Bill: providing members with an update
• Treasury management half year review 2010/11
