Meeting regularly with the Home Secretary
"I will ask for regular meetings with the Home Secretary to ensure that Whitehall is listening to Londoners’ concerns."
Mayor Boris Johnson regularly meets with the Home Secretary and Home Office ministers. His strong relationship with the Government has resulted in extra financial support for the Met, including £90 million to keep officer numbers high (link). Boris Johnson’s influence in Whitehall is important for Londoners. As long as Boris is in office, Londoners’ concerns will be well represented.
