The business case, the modelling case, every bit of the facts and figures associated with TfL's decision to push for an extension. You said that if we found the money, you would make the information available. I am asking you to confirm that today.

No, we would like our own auditor, possibly, I am not the Chairman. You did say that if we found the money you would make the information available.

In the interests of access to information, can I just remind you that you very helpfully, I think, indicated that you would be happy for the Transport Committee to pay for an independent audit of all the papers, facts and figures connected to the western extension so that we could see for ourselves in our own way and not just in TfL speak whether the case stacks up. Can I ask you whether you would be happy to confirm that I am right in what I am assuming you said?

One of the sets of information that exists is the Mayor's Management Board agendas and minutes. We have asked for those where the Director of Secretariat was excluded from the meetings. We have not had a refusal. We have been told we will receive a full response by 15 June 2005. Do you agree that given the responsibilities of the people who attend that meeting that the way your policies are implemented is a matter of public interest?

The point is that you are already on the way to achieving the 21%. Even the trend figures show that there is 2% more than the 15% we are at, so the actual £8 you are proposing is over the odds for the reduction you claim you want.
