If I could dwell on examples, there has been some press speculation about the quota of business-class or first-class transatlantic flights that are afforded to you. There has been speculation about the catering bills; some cuttings from the Evening Standard suggest you are fed to a far higher standard than humble Assembly Members, for example. There has been other stuff like that, and I suppose it may be viewed as nosiness but I guess there is an aspect of public interest as to what perks there are around your employment and whether there is a transparency and understanding about those.

You had a new roof, but obviously that has to be fixed. Nevertheless, £108,000 for external maintenance seems a huge sum even if you had a new roof and had it painted twice.

During the time that you have been resident at the house, there have been various expenditures on it. I believe the total, if my information is correct, comes to just over £138,000.

I never thought I was going to be completely gob smacked by an answer from you relating to a simple matter of bus stops, but that simple matter has produced the very big statement that you would not like to see consultation get in the way of progress. It is an absolutely extraordinary thing to say considering the service oriented provision that you make.

So the residents of suburban London who effectively have new routes foisted on them " I draw your attention to the routes 419 and 485 in Barnes, where I have been in constant communication with TfL since before your appointment. The residents in quiet suburban streets are having very large double?decker buses and very long single?decker buses going up and down their quiet streets without anybody being consulted on it.
