    I was surprised to learn from the press that Mr Jack Stenner, the GLA’s director of political and public affairs, on a salary of £120,000 a year, has quit London for an apartment in San Francisco, some eight hours behind London, whilst retaining his post. I would be interested to learn if you believe someone residing in Northern California can do an effective job as member of your senior management team from 5,000 miles away 1 . 1 https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/13364319/sadiq-khan-aide-working-from-hom…

    On 22 July 2020, you appeared before Parliament’s Transport Select Committee and told them: ‘Unlike du ring the previous administration where the number of people earning over £100,000 was going up and bonuses were going up, in the last four years they have been going down.’ However, for the end of the financial year 2015/16, when you took over as London’s Mayor, the total number of TfL employees earning more than £100,000 was 458 - including Crossrail staff.
