I'd be very happy if you were to reveal your findings which exposed that it was a fraud?

This is the same Dave Gunn who presided over an increase in the number of collisions and derailments and train fires in New York, is that the same Dave Gunn?

I am aware that we have limited time but what you are saying then is that when the Health and Safety Executive come up with a conclusion that you find acceptable you're delighted to stand behind them and support them. But when you disagree with them, then they are not worth the paper they are written on?

It is the same Health and Safety Executive that carried out the safety review into the rail accidents in west London and Hatfield for example. So, you are saying that their findings there were not proper findings based on independent review? You relied on those very heavily in your analysis.

In terms of the legal challenge, I don't think you have any alternative to go the extra mile if the Government decides to go ahead, given everything you have said about the contract.

Would you agree that it's important that this is made abundantly clear to London electors between now and 2nd May?

If this were a Tory Government you would not hesitate to rally London against them. Quite frankly I think you are derelict in your duty if you don't go that extra mile and see if the people of London agree with you as you have always said they have done. Given the record of the company involved, if you don't do that you will be handing over things like track, signalling and stations to a company that was fined £1.2 million for breaches of Health and Safety when constructing a new rail link to Heathrow - the largest fine ever...

I am wondering what is TfL going to do with the response once they've got it?

TfL has been doing a postcard campaign trying to get people sending back postcards on whether or not they support the idea of PPP. Do you have any idea of the response yet?

Londoners of course will be voting in borough elections in May and elections do tend to concentrate the mind, but will you be writing to the leaders of all London borough Councils to seek their views on the PPP?
