THE head of the Metropolitan Police was confronted live on radio yesterday by Green peer Jenny Jones over why spooks’ records on her were destroyed.

Ms Jones rang in to Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe’s weekly phone-in on LBC radio to demand answers over the cover-up of the documents.

The Green peer has obtained some of the records kept by the domestic extremism unit between 2002 and 2012 on her, which largely contained inane observations on her participation in protests or public statements.

But a serving police officer bravely revealed last week that other potentially more damaging documents had been destroyed.

In an astonishing on-air exchange, Ms Jones challenged the Met commissioner to clear up if and why the files were deleted.

The bumbling bluebottle repeatedly refused to answer the question, insisting: “I can’t discuss individual cases in that detail.”

He said the conclusions of an internal investigation should have been given to Ms Jones and accused the peer of “abusing” her position.

“You’ve got access to me, 8.6 million people haven’t,” he said. “I wouldn’t give you special treatment.”

But Ms Jones stormed: “Well the investigation certainly hasn’t been shared with me and I understand you’ve had a report on all of this.

“You haven’t spoken to me about it. You haven’t made any attempt to clear up the mess.

“And so I’m just very curious about why the Met’s being so, you know, so slow to admit that they’ve done something stupid.”
