Steve O’Connell AM: On this side we welcome the alterations that are designed to retain as much as possible our higher London standards and apply consistency across our city. A question I have for you, however, is for the first time there is a requirement for developers to consider installing lifts in developments below four storeys. The Planning Committee had some concerns around that initially and we sought some clarification around this policy. Clearly one of the risks would be by adding potential costs to the developer they may be incentivised to increase the size of the buildings and/or potentially...

Steve O’Connell AM: Deputy Mayor, you will not be surprised to know that on this side we do welcome these relaxations. These are modest, however. It is interesting that colleagues are getting rather agitated over what we feel is too modest. I, indeed, had a report published last year that called for parking standards to be abolished in outer London and for outer London boroughs to be able to refuse planning permission based on insufficient parking. Clearly this does not go that far. If, indeed, my proposals were on the table I would understand colleagues’ agitation around that. That is...

Andrew Boff AM: Sir Edward, are you aware of a place called Barking Riverside?

I would like to return to your reasons for leaving TfL early. Obviously there has been a lot of press speculation about the fact that maybe you had disagreed and fallen out with the Mayor. That would not be surprising because I would expect that you would have some disagreements over working together for that amount of time. Could you just tell us what your most significant disagreement has been with the Mayor?

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?

Do you accept that the overall package is unprecedented in the public sector in this country, in the settlement of your leaving?

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?

Mr Kiley, in answer to my colleague, Bob Blackman, you mentioned that you would not disclose details that affected other personnel. Are there any other members of TfL staff ' either in the Commissioner's office or elsewhere ' who are leaving as a result of your departure? Have you negotiated any pay-offs for them?

• Question by: Bob Blackman

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?

The reason that I am interested in that is, is there going to be anything in addition to the fee, which was upfront and we have seen that, up to 90 days, how that is calculated? You are keeping the occupancy of the premises in Belgravia; that is part of the negotiated deal, I take it. Will there be other matters? For example, the council tax on that property, insurance, pension contributions ' will that cover the lot?
