Based on your responses to questions 2016/2967 and 2017/0043, TfL averaged a reported unintended acceleration incident resulting in a collision more than once per month for the period May 2010-May 2016, of which about half resulted in injury. Has TfL ever benchmarked the frequency of safety incidents resulting from pedal confusion incidents involving buses contracted by TfL with its 'World City' peers? If so, can you provide me with this data. If not, will you commission Imperial College’s International Bus Benchmarking Group to conduct such an exercise?

Has TfL ever compared the frequency of pedal confusion incidents involving TfL buses to the frequency of other UK cities’ public bus services? If so, can you provide me with this information? If not, will you ask TfL to conduct such an exercise?

A spreadsheet you provided in response to question 2017/0043 showed 33 injuries resulted from 114 unintended acceleration incidents which TfL recorded as taking place between May 2010 and May 2016. Of those 33 injuries, how many were (a) fatal (b) life-changing? Will you provide me with the same data breakdown for all unintended acceleration incidents recorded by TfL taking place from June 2016 to the present?

Following up on the analysis of 6 years of data that it took 12 months for TfL to produce after question 2017/0043 was asked in January 2016, please provide me with an updated spreadsheet showing the same analysis for the period from June 2016 to the present without the inexplicable delay.

Does the Mayor now agree that the correct procedure for private hire drivers is that the driver is compelled to pick up a passenger where a private hire operator has instructed them to do so to ensure the passenger is not left stranded?

If this is the case, can you please tell me why TfL is still licensing private hire operators who allow private hire drivers to cancel an accepted operator booking via their in car drivers app?

TfL has issued a TPH 20/21 notice stating that the private hire operator must enter into a contract with the passenger as the principal. Can you confirm that this means that the private hire operator has a responsibility to pick the passenger up after acceptance of their booking?
