Mayor must give absolute guarantees to not repeat "extraordinary and unwise" behaviour

12.00.00am GMT Wed 25th Feb 2009

Dee Doocey, the Liberal Democrat London Assembly Policing Spokesperson and member of the Metropolitan Police Authority, commenting on the report into Boris Johnson's actions in contacting Conservative MP Damian Green while he was the subject of a police investigation said:

"The Mayor's spinning over this issue should not cover up the seriousness of this issue.

"The report concludes that his comments have been 'extraordinary and unwise' - this is behaviour unfit of the Mayor of London.

"Boris Johnson must now give an absolute guarantee that he will never again comment on any ongoing police inquiry, irrespective of whether he knows the person or not."

"If the Mayor cannot provide this guarantee he must now stand down from chairing the Metropolitan Police Authority."
