Sir Mark urged the public not to lose heart as the Met rooted out hundreds of corrupt officers thought to be serving.He told the committee: "We haven't applied the same sense of ruthlessness to guarding our own integrity that we routinely apply to confronting criminals - and I'm deeply sorry for that."
