Concern (Supplementary) [30]
- Question by: Andrew Boff
- Meeting date: 20 June 2012
I would be very interested, Mr Hendy, to see the results of that study. Just anecdotally, tipper-truck drivers do seem to drive incredibly fast and just from my observation, as somebody who did cycle in this morning, and cycles in to City Hall most days, it desperately needs attention, because there is something desperately wrong with the way in which those vehicles are used on the roads of London.
Performance of London Underground (Supplementary) [8]
- Question by: Roger Evans
- Meeting date: 20 June 2012
Boris, there is some work going on on the District line at the moment to improve the service, which we are all very pleased about. This I think is really a question for the Commissioner. The work that is going on at the depot in Upminster is proving to be more disruptive to neighbours than they were told it would be, with noise and working for longer hours than they were told would take place, and I think what can fairly be described as an unhelpful attitude from some of the staff in the depot when the neighbours go around...
Government Delivery of Mayoral Policies (Supplementary) [4]
- Question by: Richard Tracey
- Meeting date: 20 June 2012
You have just said one significant thing that I have not heard before and that is that the Commissioner himself is supportive of this line of policy. Perhaps we could have it on the record from Peter Hendy just how supportive he has because in our approaches to Government, whether it be the Prime Minister or other Cabinet Ministers, what the Commissioner for TfL might say about it would be rather important, I believe.
Review process of LDA funding

- Question by: Tony Arbour
- Meeting date: 16 January 2008
Yes. I would like to know exactly how you carried out your investigation; for example, did you interview the whistleblower, Brenda Stern, as to the allegations which she made and which were repeated in the Evening Standard?
Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [12]
- Question by: Bob Neill
- Meeting date: 16 January 2008
Understood. Then, quite separately, as you also point out in your report, there is a separate police investigation into the Green Badge Taxi School which you are cooperating with?
Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [13]
- Question by: Bob Neill
- Meeting date: 16 January 2008
Yes, thank you very much, so that is an internal review. Your conclusions in the report, which I have read and which were submitted to the LDA Board, really put it in these terms, do they not, as Mike Tuffrey has said; in a nutshell, of the six you concentrated on, four require further work, three of those specifically involve the police and we do not know whether Brixton Base will involve the police or not because it is too early to say yet; you need to do further work. Is that a fair conclusion?

- Meeting date: 16 January 2008
But none of the organisations have received grants?
Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [17]

- Meeting date: 16 January 2008
Mr Travers, you have already made it clear, and I think it follows, that you did not speak to people who are not employees of the LDA. Does that mean you did not speak to Mr Jasper?
Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [19]
- Question by: Bob Neill
- Meeting date: 16 January 2008
So, two thirds of the six you concentrated on require further work. You make the point in your report, 'Further work is required in respect of four organisations including referral to police and no conclusions are reached in respect of those matters' for the reasons you have sensibly set out?
Review process of LDA funding (Supplementary) [23]
- Question by: Bob Blackman
- Meeting date: 16 January 2008
Have you referred it then fully to the District Auditor and said, 'We think there is further work that needs to be done'?
