If you felt that you were surplus to requirements and that you did not have a useful role to play at TfL, might you consider terminating your consultancy sooner rather than later?

You obviously bring undoubted expertise in this consultancy role, but what might you be doing that Peter Hendy would be incapable of doing?

On the West London Tram, will there be an additional large pot of money to tackle traffic reduction and rat-running, as we saw with Congestion Charging, not only an important measure but an important measure in terms of building public confidence before the scheme goes ahead?

Has the budget been earmarked for that as part of the overall budget provisions?

If I can go back to Silverlink for a moment, the Strategic Rail Authority (SRA), as was, rejected the proposal of a commuter rail authority. Your priorities, or the benefits you saw were things like greater efficiency, more frequent services, integrating fares using Oyster and better station facilities. If you do get Silverlink Metro, how many of those benefits would we see soon? The Islington stations, for instance, on the North London Line desperately need modernising and to be made safer for passengers. The same can be said at Queens Park Station on the Watford line. You say you are...

Then it seems we can be optimistic. What about the upgrade of the stations in Queens Park on the Watford line and the Islington stations on the North London Line because they are critical in those negotiations? Can you give any assurance on that?

I think it was March 2004 when you launched TfL's bid for a London Regional Rail Authority, which the Liberal Democrats support. If I were to ask you for a progress report on the extent of the negotiations so far with Silverlink - How far has the agenda reached and what discussions are taking place?

£1.6 million in external legal costs is the cost that has come from the Freedom of Information Act request that the Liberal Democrats put to you. These are the legal costs for fighting the PPP originally. I was shoulder to shoulder with the Mayor and you and we were all against the PPP as being unworkable, but this reference by Roger Evans is the first peep, quite frankly, out of the Mayor towards his now chums in the Labour Party that there is anything amiss. Do you really think it is worth waiting until the end of the year? It...

I think it is so serious when bailiffs arrive that actually if you get letters from people saying, `But I never got the notices' and have business accounts departments that would normally handle them, you really have to do something about the system right now and say that any of these cases are to be an exception and should go to some sort of forum where they are looked at. To have bailiffs arrive is really unacceptable when the fault may be TfL's.

I just want to support Elizabeth (Howlett) because I had not realised there were other cases of bailiffs arriving. I have just written to TfL about several where no previous notice has been received. TfL writes to these people and says that penalty notices, etc., were issued, but they were not. You have to take this really seriously because some people are not able to go to court; they are vulnerable and scared and may not have the money. This is terrifying people. They are individual cases, not hundreds of them, but I do want your double assurance that you...
