About whether it is political advertising?

Actually, that was not a part of the question.

• Question by: Roger Evans
• Meeting date: 13 September 2006

Certainly not, no. I am just saying that some people are suggesting it and I am sure there is a process in place to prevent that.

You have explained how you are having a tough time with the finances and having to put fares up. I think it is a real problem for you in terms of image when you are overspending on advertising by £14 million. I think that many Londoners are very angry about that. What can you say you are going to do now to stop further overspends?

Some people might feel that some of what you are doing is political advertising rather that advertising services and products.

Just a quickie, did you say you were going to bring Ted Knight in to audit your advertising?

• Question by: Geoff Pope
• Meeting date: 13 September 2006

Therefore you are not going to do anything about controlling the overspend, because you have not answered the question?

Will you please tell us who the sole trader is?

We did check again, and they came back and said 'Yes, Bliss Events limited.'

• Meeting date: 13 September 2006

Can we just be clear; we are aware that there is a big question mark here. We actually rang the people who put the Mayoral Action Forms together and checked. It was put down as Bliss Events Limited. You are saying that it is not Bliss Events Limited?
