Despite your failure to provide the information I requested in Question 2021/3886, TfL has responded to FOI-1391-2122 on 27 October (https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/tfl_discussion_about_10_june_202) which, inter alia, clearly evidences that TfL recorded and internally published a full transcript of my 10 June 2021 Meeting with Chief Safety Officer, Head of Bus Business Development, Head of Health & Wellbeing and Senior Bus Safety Development Manager. Is it customary for TfL to record and publish transcripts of meetings with outside parties without (a) seeking prior permission from them (b) allowing those parties to review and confirm the accuracy of the meeting transcript?

In your response to Question 2021/3887, you stated “There have not been any instances in the last five years where TfL has required an operator to put an [Safety] action plan in place”. In the wake of frequent public reports from London bus drivers about unsanitary and fatigue-inducing working conditions during your five-year term as TfL Chair, have you considered that TfL’s apparent complacency in monitoring the health and safety conditions of London bus drivers might explain why they continued to have excess mortality from Covid-19 long after the March 2020 lockdown?

Further to your responses to Question 2019/21052 and 2021/2354 and your failure to respond to Question 2021/3889, when will you give me a firm date as to when TfL’s Chief Safety Officer will have gained the appropriate Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH) and Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) accreditations that the public might presume to be a mandatory minimum pre-qualification for even being considered for that important post?

Further to your long-delayed response to Question 2021/2854, do you accept that the deaths of the 26 bus workers who died after May 2020—i.e., a fatality total nearly equal to the 27 who died between March and May 2020—cannot be blamed on the lateness of lockdown?
