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?

The reason that I am interested in that is, is there going to be anything in addition to the fee, which was upfront and we have seen that, up to 90 days, how that is calculated? You are keeping the occupancy of the premises in Belgravia; that is part of the negotiated deal, I take it. Will there be other matters? For example, the council tax on that property, insurance, pension contributions ' will that cover the lot?

Can you let me know how many other individual consultants in your time have been paid more than £3,000 a day and on what sort of basis while you have been Commissioner?

How will that work on the PPP? It is critical that that is renegotiated for the benefit of Londoners. You will be developing your thoughts and providing advice, but then your contract ends some two years before the actual negotiations. When the Mayor announced your position, he made it quite clear that the renegotiations for the PPP would be one of your key roles.

Without your line responsibility, you will be able to get much more done in 90 days. When we take on board the fact that you said you had built the world's best management team for transport, it is starting to feel as though it is getting a bit overcrowded with expertise and the best guys around at the top there. We are concerned about this. Is there not a risk that the role of Commissioner, which was obviously important in the early days, is now getting rather squeezed?

What is the essential difference between what service you are going to be providing as a consultant, and what the role of Peter Hendy is as the Transport Commissioner, and what the role of Redmond O'Neill is as the (GLA's) Executive Director of Public Affairs and Transport? Where is the line between them? Is there a line or is there not?

Do you understand our concern, Mr Kiley, that you are living in a house rent-free that according to the Mayor's figures could be rented on the open market for £2,000 a week? Up to the end of your tenure, that would actually bring in or save the taxpayer £250,000 specifically at a time when there are 60,000 families in temporary accommodation, and doctors, nurses, care workers, etc., cannot afford to live anywhere near their place of work. Is this not taking accommodation for key workers to ridiculous heights?

You had a new roof, but obviously that has to be fixed. Nevertheless, £108,000 for external maintenance seems a huge sum even if you had a new roof and had it painted twice.

During the time that you have been resident at the house, there have been various expenditures on it. I believe the total, if my information is correct, comes to just over £138,000. Some of that has been external work and some of that has been internal work, but that does seem to be an inordinately large sum considering that when the house was purchased it was described as being restored and modernised to an exceptionally high standard.
