Our coverage of the commissioner's appearance on Eddie Nestor's show is coming to a close.

Over about 40 minutes he spoke about the corrosive substance attack in Clapham as well as issues including street robbery, police recruitment and women's safety.

Thank you for joining us.

The commissioner explains to Julia Matheson that e-scooters in themselves are not illegal, only those adapted to go at high speeds.

He says: "We do seize many, many e-scooters.

"When it's been adapted so that it's no longer limited in speed it becomes a motorbike and it won't have insurance and that's why it's seizable."

Sir Mark adds: "If someone has an e-scooter and it's not been adapted then it's harder to seize.

"The ones that being used criminally at the ones going at 50mph whizzing around alleyways and it's horrifically dangerous."

Julia Matheson is concerned about action being taken on illegal e-scooters.

"Inner London roads and pavements are awash with illegal-scooters," she says.

"The City of London Police now have a policy of seizing these e-scooters because of the part they are playing in street crime.

"But in Hackney I have yet to see any action being taken in spite of the fact that illegal e-scooters can be seen being ridden every day where I live.

She asks: "Why are the Metropolitan Police not operating a seizure policy in boroughs like mine?"

Sir Mark tells Hugh Murphy that new regulations coming in will mean they will speed up the process of rooting out corrupt officers.

Under new regulations, chief constables or their deputies will chair misconduct panels hearing serious allegations against officers.

It will also allow police officers who fail re-vetting checks to be dismissed.

"I've got tens of thousands of brilliant officers as I've said many times and also I've got hundreds of officers who shouldn't be here and we're sorting them out," says the commissioner.

"The new Home Office regulations are coming into force in a few months time will mean that we can go through it more quickly.

"The numbers that we are removing from the organisation have gone up dramatically over the last year.

"We will see a surge of officers being sacked over the next year and then the numbers will start to come down again, as we break the back of the legacy issues that we've been dealing with."

Hugh Murphy asks: "How many corrupt officers have you identified in your force?

"How far down the road are you in dealing with this issue and do you have a date in mind when the public can have restored confidence in the Met?"

The commissioner tells Annette the force targets dangerous criminals indiscriminately.

"We're interested in everyone's safety," he says. "This is not about just going after watch robberies."

Sir Mark continues: "We will do whatever it takes to catch dangerous people whether they are preying on people with an expensive watch or whether they are being preyed on by sexual offenders.

"We do an awful lot of targeting sexual offenders. Our prosecution of rapes has gone up massively, we have one of the highest levels of prosecution of stalking and harassment in the country."

Annette, from Walthamstow, says women's safety is still not a high enough priority for the Met Police.

She asks: "Why have you so swiftly set up a task force to protect the rich men who are getting their watches stolen in exclusive areas, when you have still clearly not tackled women's safety?

"Why are these men more entitled to your support and when women are still being judged by their backgrounds and just for being women?"

Here's a chance to watch back Met Police chief Sir Mark Rowley in conversation with BBC Radio London's Eddie Nestor.

Cliff asks why the violent crime taskforce has been disbanded when knife crime has risen by 22% in London.

Sir Mark responds that officer numbers have not been reduced, but are now working closer to the community.

He says: "We have changed the way we organise our resources and those teams are now working locally.

"We have not reduced the number of officers available to proactively go after the most dangerous people.

"What we've done is brought them together with local officers across of our 12 local commands.

"It's much closer to the streets, rather than me running it from Scotland Yard."

The commissioner tells Jane the amount of street robbery is "worryingly high".

"It's a massive problem at the moment and it's largely focused about mobile phones," he says.

Sir Mark continues: "The first thing we're trying to do is target prolific offenders, often school-age themselves.

"Second thing is that we have to break the criminal market. It's the value of them, around £200 to £300, that fuels the robberies. We are also targeting the shops that are reselling stolen phones."

"The third centres on phone companies. It's too easy to re-programme them. I've been having meetings with Apple, Samsung and Google to change the way the phones operate and are designed."

"We have to try and break that market," he adds.

The first question comes from Jane who says that a recent uptick in school muggings has meant she has told her son that it is likely he could get mugged.

She asks Sir Mark: "What are you doing to deal with the rise in muggings of school children, boys in particular?

"It’s a daily occurrence around Hammersmith Bridge and Clapham Junction.

"I've had to tell my son that the chances are that he will be mugged and he must try not to be too traumatised. I shouldn't have to say this.

"A visible police presence from 16:00 to 18:00 GMT would help," she suggests.

Witnesses described a "horrific" scene after a mother and her two girls were doused in their car with a "corrosive substance" in Clapham yesterday.

Eddie Nestor asks Sir Mark to give an overview of last night's attack.

He says attacks using "chemicals" or "acid" are "exceedingly rare" in the capital - though he acknowledges there was a spate of them some years ago.

Sir Mark also says there's a "live" police manhunt under way to find the man suspected of committing this "ghastly" attack.

He said: "Everything we know points to it not being random, those involved were known to each other and there's not threat to the community.

"We have a live man hunt and we have a big teams of officers, and we're hunting for him as we speak."

He added that some of the victim's burns "quite substantial."

A woman and her two young daughters were at the centre of the attack, Sir Mark said. Four members who came to help also suffered injuries.

Three other women and five police officers were also hurt and have now all be discharged from hospital, while a man, aged in his 50s, declined hospital treatment for minor injuries that he suffered.
