I may have missed this, Mayor, but did you tell us whether his consultancy is to you as Mayor or as Chair of TfL?

You are expecting him to tell the truth of your encounters with him in his memoirs, are you?

• Question by: Dee Doocey
• Meeting date: 14 December 2005

How can you possibly justify giving somebody who is working as a consultant access to a house in addition to their fees and also medical cover? I have never heard of a consultant getting this, and surely what you should be doing is renting out the house, or rather TfL should be renting out the house? Does it not take accommodation for key workers to ridiculous heights?

Sorry, but once again, you are not answering the question. I did not suggest you sold the house; it is much better to sell it later on, I agree. What I am saying is that it is quite extraordinary ' Mr Kiley resigned, so everything that he had negotiated should have ceased, and then he was negotiating a new contract. Furthermore, as a consultant, his contract should have been fee based; it should not include medical cover, and it should not include giving him a home that is worth £2 million. I really think there are so many people in...

Have you been to one of Mr and Mrs Kiley's dinner parties at their house in Belgravia?

You say that we are paying the costs of Mr Kiley running his house in London. Are we paying his Council Tax?

• Question by: Geoff Pope

We always get the impression when residents put forward ideas that there is not any money available and so people get very frustrated and feel that they are not really part of the system. In Richmond upon Thames when there was a proposal to get Section 106 money from a new elderly people's housing development, the planning transport officer wrote to TfL on more than one occasion and got no response or support at all. Is that because the policy is wrong or was it just incompetence?

Are you prepared to repeat the message that came from the LDA that no additional land would be purchased over and above that which is required to provide the Olympic venues?

• Question by: Bob Blackman
• Meeting date: 14 December 2005

If we are looking at the precept, you have given some guarantees about the maximum amount of money that would be claimed from the Council Tax and what you would do if it overruns, etc. At the last Mayor's Question Time, you actually stated in answer to a question that the land take was being increased by 25% specifically to contribute towards the costs of the development of the Olympics; that land would be sold after the Olympics for a greater profit and therefore that would help fund the Olympics. When the LDA came last week, they specifically said that...

• Meeting date: 14 December 2005

This is interesting stuff but there is an awful lot of shroud waving for the week before Christmas. I wanted to return to the kernel of the question, which as far as I can see, and I think this is a very fair interpretation of the question, is that the Liberal Democrats are arguing on the one hand that they support the Olympics and on the other hand that Londoners are being mugged in some strange way. Would you agree with me that the current crisis in the Liberal Democrats, who are about to remove their leader (Charles Kennedy), will...
