  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    One final question. Studying your documents there do not seem to be a vast number of trips being planned, for example, to other Commonwealth countries, with which Britain already has very good relations but could be improved. Is there a particular reason why that is the case?
  • Approving and Planning Foreign Travel (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 14 March 2007
    One of the considerations might be that we have had very clear ones to Cuba, Venezuela etc, which do not strike us as being those areas which would be immediately promoting London as such an important international city. Clearly, that is a priority. Why?
  • Terms of the termination of your engagement to which TfL have agreed. (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 18 January 2006
    Would anything in that contract prevent you, for example, from revealing details of discussions between yourself and the Mayor on the reasons for you leaving?
  • Terms of the termination of your engagement to which TfL have agreed. (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 18 January 2006
    Do you accept that the overall package is unprecedented in the public sector in this country, in the settlement of your leaving?
  • Terms of the termination of your engagement to which TfL have agreed. (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 18 January 2006
    I think the difference may be expressed from our perspective that if it is a private company that is being examined, and the Chief Executive leaves, that is something that is private. However, this is public money. That is why the concern is being expressed as to the full extent of the package that you have enjoyed. From our perspective, one of the things that we would seek to know is this £745,000 bonus payment, which we understand is being paid, is there in addition to that a lump-sum payment to be paid by the 31 March?
  • Terms of the termination of your engagement to which TfL have agreed. (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 18 January 2006
    The other issue is, as part of the contractual negotiation, which would not be unusual, is there a gagging clause that prevents you discussing the full details of the reasons for you leaving or the other effects of the contract?
  • Crossrail (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Bob Blackman
    • Meeting date: 06 April 2005
    You started on the subject of the Jubilee Line and I want to continue with that. What is currently proposed in terms of replacement of the signalling equipment, and are you proposing to take any action against the original suppliers?
