‘We’ve been worried for a while about what has happened within the Met’, says London deputy Mayor

The commons home affairs select committee today heard evidence from Sophie Linden, London’s deputy mayor for policing and crime (DMPC).

Ms Linden was questioned by Labour MP Diane Abbott on the Metropolitan Police and violence towards women and girls.

Ms Abbott asked: “Why are you having these very serious cases, as the chair has spoken about, that are just coming to light?”.
