After analysis of the Quarterly Bus Safety Data, which – after my repeated requests – you recently restored in downloadable form to the TfL website, I note that, during the period 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2021, 14 people have been sent to hospital by an injury-causing action that TfL’s data records 83 times in the period as a “Safety Critical Failure”. Exactly what is a “Safety Critical Failure” and why is this not defined anywhere in the data or on TfL’s website?

In a 9 April 2020 email from TfL to Unite the Union released in your long-delayed response to question 2020/1724, TfL clearly states that the “latest guidance from TfL is masks are not needed”, yet you made a public declaration about the effectiveness of masks against Covid-19 on 16 April 2020.

In your response to question 2022/0792, you do not present any evidence of your lobbying the Government about the effectiveness of masks against Covid-19, but you do refer to your 16 April 2021 ‘public’ declaration for “the Government to change their advice around the compulsory wearing of face coverings”. A 16 April 2021 BBC Report about your public declaration (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-52312906) has you stating: "I'm lobbying our government and advisers to change their advice, and I want us to do that sooner rather than later.
