‘Political accountability’ rests with Mayor of London on Casey report, says Braverman

The Home Secretary Suella Braverman today made a ministerial statement to the House of Commons on the Casey report into the Metropolitan police.

She said: “While I work closely with the Metropolitan Police, primary and political accountability, as Baroness Casey makes clear, sits with the Mayor of London. I spoke with the Mayor yesterday and we are united in our support for the new commissioner and his plan to turn around the Met so that Londoners get this police service that they deserve”.
