It&#8217;s made incredibly difficult by the fact that we&#8217;re now seeing cases listed for sexual offences for 2025 and 2026. And that often leads to high levels of attrition, with victims and survivors not going through for understandable and good reasons with the criminal case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we are seeking to do is to not just encourage people to report when they&#8217;ve been the victim of sexual offences, but also to make sure that there are resources given by the government to which the police, the Crown Prosecution Service and the courts to make sure these trials reach their end.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;re investing more \u00a3170 million pounds in addressing the issue of violence against women and girls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ms Hall cuts him off by accusing him of giving drawn-out responses to cap the amount of time for answering questions.<\/p>\n<p>She said: \u201cYou do go on exceptionally long and you don\u2019t actually answer the questions. It would be awfully helpful if you do because we\u2019re on the clock here.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Hall also blasted Mr Khan for the 994 murders in the capital since he took on the role in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>She said: \u201cIf you\u2019ve done such a good job, because you keep giving stats on how much money you\u2019ve put in and very often you seem to think by putting money into things that will solve issues and white clearly it doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKnife crime has increased by 50 per cent, sexual offences have increased by around 50 per cent and 994 people have been murdered while you have been the mayor of London. Do you think that\u2019s acceptable?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr Khan accepted there has been an increase in serious violence since 2012, including homicide.<\/p>\n<p>He said \u201cone homicide is one too many but insisted the issue should not be used as a \u201cpolitical football\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ms Hall said: \u201cKeep answers much, much shorter so we can get on. He\u2019s just counting down the time.
