Tom Copley AM: Mr Mayor, yesterday the President of RIBA, the Royal Institute of British Architects, Jane Duncan, called for the Garden Bridge process to be halted. This morning it emerged that TfL’s Managing Director of Planning, Richard de Cani, who is a former employee of Arup and who decided alone on the awarding of the engineering contract, which went to Arup, has just been given a job at Arup. Why was he allowed to be the sole decision‑maker in the awarding of the Garden Bridge procurement contract?
