    How concerned are you with the recent performance of London Underground?
  • Performance of London Underground (Supplementary) [1]

    I think that is reassuring and I am sure the IOC and Londoners will be reassured by that. In the event that there is a failure, say, on the Jubilee line during the games and you have people at the Olympic Park wanting to get down to the north Greenwich arena, will you allow spectators to travel for free on the cable car as a quick means to travel?
  • Performance of London Underground (Supplementary) [2]

    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    That was out of LU's control. Have you assured yourself that measures are in place? We have heard about the blue-light team and all the things you told us last week, and Peter and others have told us. How have you assured yourself and the IOC that things are in place and that people will be able to get around?
  • Performance of London Underground (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    I think the last thing any of us want is images being beamed around the world of spectators having to be walked down the tracks and tunnels due to a broken-down train or some signalling problem or whatever, and particularly we have now heard that Jacques Rogge, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) President, may even occasionally be travelling by the Tube thanks to the pressures from you and others.
  • Performance of London Underground (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 20 June 2012
    Thanks to the pressure by yourself and others no doubt. Are you concerned that such failures on the Underground at Games time could lead to worldwide embarrassment and what are you personally doing to assure yourself that the system is going to be working as well as it can throughout the Games?
  • Reasons for your leaving TfL (Supplementary) [15]

    • Question by: Geoff Pope
    • Meeting date: 18 January 2006
    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?
  • Provisions of Consultancy (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Geoff Pope
    • Meeting date: 18 January 2006
    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.
  • Provisions of Consultancy (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Geoff Pope
    • Meeting date: 18 January 2006
    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?
  • Consultancy Benefits (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 18 January 2006
    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?
