London Mayor's Policing Committee has received NO reports on Operation Grange since it began in 2011 - FoI Act response 7 Jan 2016

The answer to Question 1 reveals that, despite
* Operation Grange having spent over £12 million,
* Operation Grange having run for over four-and-a-half years already,
* Operation Grange being one of the most controversial and expensive operations ever run by the Met, and
* Operation Grange having been under the direct control of some of the Met's most senior officers...
...the Mayor's Policing Committee has not bothered to receive either a written or verbal report on its progress. The Policing Committee is supposed to exist to monitor the work of the police.
As for the second question, the Mayor's FoI Act section has misunderstood the question. I asked about the number of representations concerning the remit and conduct, not the number of Freedom of Information Act requests. I know there's been at least one representation, because I made one myself. And I know there have been others. So I shall ask in the first instance for an internal review.

Dr Martin Roberts: "The evidence is that these are the pjyamas Madeleine wore on holiday in Praia da Luz. They were photographed and the photo handed to a press agency, who released it on 8 May, as the search for Madeleine continued. The McCanns held up these same pyjamas at two press conferences on 5 & 7June 2007. How could Madeleine have been abducted?"
Amelie McCann (aged 2): "Maddie's jammies!".
