  • 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]

    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?

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

    • Question by: Geoff Pope
    • Meeting date: 18 January 2006
    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?
  • Reasons for your leaving TfL (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Geoff Pope
    • Meeting date: 18 January 2006
    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?
  • Buses in Pollards Hill, Merton (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Samantha Heath
    • Meeting date: 11 June 2003
    I think Elizabeth hit the nail on the head. The Croydon tram link extension we are talking about is hospitals to hospitals. Your funding mechanism will not work for that particularly: it is a pretty deprived residential area. This whole area does not need to wait for a wing and a prayer in terms of new alternative funding, but it does need a proper investigation. I know the Mayor has been down there. You say you have been down there; I am sorry, I did not know that you had. I think this area needs to be better looked at...

    No, he has not.
  • Local Residents (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Samantha Heath
    • Meeting date: 11 June 2003
    The Environment Committee, or rather Graham and I, met TfL the other week and we came up with the issue of how the Mayor's noise and air quality strategies get embedded. It goes back to Tony's question, because the noise strategy states very clearly that you will consult about buses. Although you will consult if it is related to the noise strategy, what does that mean to your toolkit? If it makes a street noisier, what are you going to do about it? You have the consultation and people say it is making their street noisier, so then what?
