Members of the Metropolitan Police Authority will consider the findings of the MPA scrutiny committee, which were published on July 18.

The report on the shooting dead of the Brazilian in Stockwell, south London, also highlighted fundamental differences in ethos between the "crime" and "counter-terrorism" surveillance teams.

It said the Met must work harder to plug gaps in technology, and that officers should not confer when making notes after an incident.

Issues such as the adequacy of control rooms for commanding operations were likely to occur again with the 2012 Olympics and on a large scale, the report said.

Mr De Menezes, a 27-year-old electrician, was gunned down at close range in a Tube carriage at Stockwell station on July 22, 2005.

Police had mistaken him for failed suicide bomber Hussain Osman, part of the gang which tried to blow up passengers on Underground trains across the capital the previous day.

The force was later convicted on a general health and safety count at the Old Bailey last November.
