So there are no plans to try and sophisticate the scheme to allow more flexibility in terms of rebates and booking?

And that is a common experience about the bank statements meaning nothing to TfL.

  • Question by: Lynne Featherstone
  • Meeting date: 16 July 2003
I think it is totally indicative of Transport for London's desire not to give information to members of this Assembly that they could not give me an answer. I think that as Chair of Transport for London, you should instruct that if I make an enquiry or if any member to this Assembly makes an enquiry they should furnish us with information, without question. I will just move on to a few details. I think that the scheme is working extremely well and I am very much looking forward to the six?month review so that I can scrutinise it. The...

Do you remember that seven days after the Congestion Charge was introduced you sat there and said that the police will be alerted to look for them - those who have failed three times - to seize cars and eventually crush them. My view is that freeloaders are not going to be allowed to get away with it but in a sense they are if you have only done seven so far. Would you not agree, given your last answer to Valerie Shawcross, that if you do not enforce existing laws, then you are soft on crime?

And out of those seven, how many are being crushed or are going to be crushed?

But that is since I asked the question publicly to you. I do not mind if they gave me an answer and you at the same time when I enquired six weeks ago. I do not mind if they give you the same information they have given me but I do mind this. I lay down the question so they provide you with an answer and they do not provide me.

Could you tell us under the PPP contracts who would bear the cost of such replacements?

The £500,000 million?

Replacing Tube carriages (Supplementary) [4]

  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 16 July 2003
Since you have decided on balance that you should not resign having failed to resolve the Tube in 36 hours, it seems to me that we should try to take this matter forward in a more constructive fashion. I am reminded - and I think it has been reported in the press now - that the longstanding dispute between Canary Wharf Group and London Underground on the Jubilee Line extension has been resolved. As a consequence of that, the purchase and construction of new carriages for the Jubilee Line extension is being brought forward, which I think is very welcome...

Replacing Tube carriages (Supplementary) [3]

  • Question by: Roger Evans
  • Meeting date: 16 July 2003
The report that London Underground issued contains a lot of good safety recommendations and it was quite scathing about these trains. For example, it states that the bolt design is barely adequate for the amount of load it is going to be carrying. On the motors, it states that the safety brackets were never adequate, either in concept or in production. That is quite damning criticism of these vehicles. What steps are you taking to make sure that these recommendations are implemented and what have you done since you took over London Underground last week to ensure that the lessons...
