Public Private Partnerships (Supplementary) [4]

  • Question by: Darren Johnson
  • Meeting date: 20 February 2008
We heard from Tim O'Toole last week that money was being paid out to contractors for work which TfL is not convinced was ever actually carried out. I am sure you are going to be as keen as me to ensure that TfL tracks down all this contracted work and payments and puts that money in the public domain. Will you pledge to name and shame any companies who received money from Metronet for work that was not completed or was not carried out?

That work did not happen. Do you agree now that presenting the evidence ' and I hope you do present it to the Fraud Squad if there is clear evidence of fraud ' would convince the Government that it would be a bad idea to re-let the PPP contracts to another consortium and that maintaining it in-house is the best possible option?

There have also been reports of the loss of heritage items from London Underground during Metronet's contract.

Signs, tiles; various things which have disappeared from stations when work has been done to upgrade stations. An example is the seats at Elm Park Station which I believe had been moved up the line to Upminster Bridge and put there. There are other items which have disappeared altogether. Is this going to be a priority for London Underground?

I have a couple of questions really, mostly around sporting legacy. It is something that I am very interested in. The first one concerns one of the venues and the second one is about the Stadium itself. It touches on some of the answers that you gave earlier. The first one is about the equestrian events in Greenwich Park. I was quite gratified by your response to Mr Biggs' question about possible cash savings. I know that KPMG is doing a review on that. The issue I think that I personally have with Greenwich Park is that it will cost...

  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 08 October 2008
I do appreciate that most of the questions we want to ask you are probably subject to commercial confidentiality and so the last thing you want to do is announce the answers in public, but I will try one and maybe you can give us a thoughtful answer on this. It is about the IBC, the Media and Broadcast Centre. Is there a risk that it might not ultimately be built where it is proposed that it be built but that an opportunity might arise out of current other developments in the property market to relocate them within the Stratford...

  • Meeting date: 08 October 2008
On the funding of the Olympic Village, you have said it is extremely unlikely that there will be a scenario where 100% will be coming from public funds through contingency, but what proportion are you looking at now in terms of the mix of different sources of funding for the Olympic Village?

  • Question by: Richard Barnbrook
  • Meeting date: 08 October 2008
Thank you for a very well presented report. I am a little concerned with the costing, whichever proportion is given over to the taxpayer of London and the UK Government tax collection from the people. You mentioned the credit crunch. This morning 400 points was taken off the Financial Times Index within the first hour of opening and that probably will not change for the foreseeable future. I come back to the aspect of the Stadium first. Mayor Boris has made it quite clear that the £500 million Stadium will, at the end of the Games, go back to 25,000...

John, are we facing the prospect that the Olympic Village might be completely funded by taxpayers?

  • Question by: Dee Doocey
  • Meeting date: 08 October 2008
First of all can I congratulate you on the work you have done so far. I think you have done a spectacular job and long may it continue. I do not underestimate how very difficult it has been to get to this stage. I think it is very good and I am sure we are all impressed. My question is, in a worst case scenario how much of the contingency are you likely to have to use in order to rescue the financing of the Village and the Media Centre?
