Was it your suggestion, the sums of money you were going to acquire as a consultant and the one-off payment? If you add up the sums, as far as we know, you will be earning in the first two years just as much as you were before, but working less. Was that your terms or was that the Mayor's terms?

How will that work on the PPP? It is critical that that is renegotiated for the benefit of Londoners. You will be developing your thoughts and providing advice, but then your contract ends some two years before the actual negotiations. When the Mayor announced your position, he made it quite clear that the renegotiations for the PPP would be one of your key roles.

Without your line responsibility, you will be able to get much more done in 90 days. When we take on board the fact that you said you had built the world's best management team for transport, it is starting to feel as though it is getting a bit overcrowded with expertise and the best guys around at the top there. We are concerned about this. Is there not a risk that the role of Commissioner, which was obviously important in the early days, is now getting rather squeezed?

Do you understand our concern, Mr Kiley, that you are living in a house rent-free that according to the Mayor's figures could be rented on the open market for £2,000 a week? Up to the end of your tenure, that would actually bring in or save the taxpayer £250,000 specifically at a time when there are 60,000 families in temporary accommodation, and doctors, nurses, care workers, etc., cannot afford to live anywhere near their place of work. Is this not taking accommodation for key workers to ridiculous heights?

I am interested to know what made you change your mind compared with a year ago and now. What has happened?

Do you regret the timing of this, coming at the same time as we have this large fare increase? Many Londoners are upset with the 10% or more increase at the same time as the sums of money that you are being provided with are being highlighted. Was that not bad timing?

When you decided that you would leave this particular role, did you just go into the Mayor and say, `I am going'? Was there a negotiation?

Please explain the reasons for your leaving TfL at an earlier date than anticipated by your engagement. Sally Hamwee (Chair): Thank you very much for all of that. We will follow the order, which is on the order paper. The first question is to ask about your reasons for leaving. I think Geoff Pope for the Liberal Democrats is going to kick off. Geoff Pope (AM): Good morning, Mr Kiley. May I start by, on behalf of the Liberal Democrats on the London Assembly, congratulating you on your leadership over the last five years to set a clear direction for...

What are the financial and other terms of the termination of your engagement to which TfL have agreed? The Mayor has informed the Assembly that you will be paid salary and bonuses up to 31 January 2006 and a final (additional) payment of £745,000. As the contractual benefits to which you have been entitled will presumably apply to that date, please list them (excluding the house you occupy, dealt with at Question 4).
