Victoria Borwick chairs the Metropolitan Police Authority's Civil Liberties Panel, which was set up last year by the MPA's then deputy chair (since promoted to chair) Kit Malthouse.

Here she discusses some of report's main themes in advance of its discussion by a full meeting of the MPA on Thursday.
