Len Duvall AM: Can we go back to the issues of transparency? You rightly cited the Olympics. It was probably was the best and most transparent Olympics around some of these issue. However, you do seem to have gone back and you have made this problem for yourself around the issue of the freedom of information (FOI) request from Sir Richard Hunt, who is a member of the Charlton Athletics Supporters Trust, by the way that you have dodged and swerved and not answered the issues in terms of getting to grips with the actual issues that people are asking...

It should have settled down now. That is not the case. This is basic stuff about customer care. That is something that Capita, or any contractor, or even TfL, should be able to deal with, and we should not run away from the idea. It is about management; and it is about how do...

We have got numerous complaints and enquiries from our constituents and others who have contacted us, and no doubt others have, in terms of how they are contacted, what advice they have been given, not just in call centres in the normal day-to-day stuff about Congestion Charging but about penalties and those who want to pay. Those who want to pay. There is a real problem here, and I would really want to gauge whether you think there is a real problem, in terms of what...

Can we turn to implementation of the strategy? Are you not -- by your own admission in the past you've been " someone who has a light touch on certain officers. Are you not slightly concerned about Mr Kiley"s restructuring, planning and integration and the blurring of edges within TfL?
