Murad Qureshi AM: Whilst we are on confidentiality, can I ask why questions still exist around the power to veto the ground-share of the Olympic Stadium? Why do there seem to be questions remaining about who can veto the ground-share remaining on the stadium?

Andrew Boff AM: Could you tell me how many contracts you currently have that contain commercially confidential information?

• Question by: Len Duvall OBE
• Meeting date: 02 March 2016

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...

• Question by: Andrew Dismore
• Meeting date: 02 March 2016

Andrew Dismore AM: I would like to ask you some questions about the Orbit [Arcelor Mittal Orbit] and perhaps I could start by just establishing what I think are the agreed facts. You originally expected the Orbit to have 350,000 visitors a year. In 2014/15 there were only 124,000, a third of those forecast. In 2015/16 the target is 163,000 but by September 2015, halfway through the year, only 68,000 people had come and of course that was over the summer. That is 42%. You are losing about £10,000 a week. The 2016/17 visitor target is 239,000, rising to 261,000...

Andrew Boff AM: Mr Mayor, are you aware that the Garden Bridge Trust has stated that it is £30 million short of the £115 million it needs to raise from the public?

• Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
• Meeting date: 20 January 2016

Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: The National Audit Office has shone a welcome light on how the Chancellor [The Rt Honourable George Osborne MP, Chancellor of the Exchequer] rushed ahead and poured public money into the Garden Bridge in what was quoted as an ‘unorthodox’ way. Will you now ensure that every detail of your involvement with the Garden Bridge is made public, including answering October 2015 Mayor’s Questions that I have asked and providing full details of every dinner and meeting on your GLA-funded trip to San Francisco?

• Question by: Tom Copley
• Meeting date: 20 January 2016

Tom Copley AM: Mr Mayor, I wanted to ask you about the Garden Bridge. In February 2013, you took a 24-hour taxpayer-funded trip to San Francisco, along with various GLA and TfL officers, which cost taxpayers £10,000. This was to try to raise private sponsorship for the Garden Bridge. In December 2015 at the GLA Oversight Committee, you promised Len Duvall that you would, subject to advice, release the full list of who accompanied you. Why have you not released this yet?

• Question by: Valerie Shawcross
• Meeting date: 20 January 2016

Valerie Shawcross CBE AM: Thank you very much, Mr Mayor. Although the Transport Committee has not had a chance to meet to discuss your proposals, I am pleased that a majority of the proposals and the responses that the Transport Committee put in have found their way into TfL’s document. However, there will be some disappointment that there is not protection of people’s right to book a minicab up to seven days in advance. I hope that that is something where there will be a review mechanism as the market changes. There are many people not of the iPhone generation...

• Question by: Richard Tracey
• Meeting date: 20 January 2016

Richard Tracey AM: Mr Mayor, is this an exhaustive response from TfL to the whole of the consultation that went on? You mentioned certain aspects, but clearly there are others. I remember that there was the matter of a five-minute waiting time and so on.

• Question by: Valerie Shawcross
• Meeting date: 10 February 2016

Valerie Shawcross CBE AM: Thank you. The Mayor has just said there would be a plan to cut £2 billion from TfL by another candidate, whose name I will not mention. I have seen media reports of £1.9 billion, which the media have been attributing to TfL. I would like to ask the Commissioner, Mr Brown, is that a figure, either the £2 billion or the £1.9 billion that TfL has come up with? Was it from a TfL source? Do you own that figure? Then I would like to ask you about the assumptions behind it.
