  • Capital Investment (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 05 June 2013
    Richard Tracey (AM): Tony, in your report you do talk to quite a great extent about Crossrail and we will all remember very much the length of the process to get funding, to get the whole process through. Now we are beginning to talk about Crossrail 2, which is very important in my constituency and in southwest London.

  • Taking forward the recommendations (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 05 June 2013

Indeed, I believe you, this last year, did forego half of your bonus until 2012. Would it be reasonable for you and your fellow directors to consider foregoing your complete bonus until you have finished the job, and then receive whatever you are entitled to, through the success you have achieved?

  • Olympic Route Network (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 21 October 2009
    The Mayor, of course, has an aspiration that, wherever possible, the officials should use public transport. Now the media are in Bloomsbury, I believe, near the bullet train, so will they use that? Many of the officials will be close to the Central line. Will they use that?
