The letter that you have received from the Secretary of State for Transport setting out an Extraordinary Funding and Financing Agreement for TfL for the period to March 2021 states: “TfL and the Mayor have proposed that this could potentially include proposals to maintain the Congestion Charging changes implemented in June 2020.” Please could you clarify whether or not this potentially includes the ending of the residents’ discount to the Congestion Charge which was implemented separately and started in August 2020?

In the data you provided in your much-delayed responses to Questions 2019/20679 and 2019/20680 it is evident that TfL’s Bus Network Safety Performance Index has not been subjected to even a basic independent audit and assurance. Will you immediately instruct TfL to cease publication of the questionable Bus Network Safety Performance Index until serious work has been undertaken to independently validate the conceptual framework and supporting data used to support that Index?

The evidence you provided in Question 2020/0023 shows the Crossrail Head of Audit and TfL’s Internal Audit team’s intention to water down IA 17780’s findings in order it would appear to “placate” Tram Operations Limited. Do you believe that this is acceptable behaviour from TfL executives and auditors entrusted to scrutinise the Fatigue Management System of a contractor that had been recently involved in a catastrophic accident caused by the driver that was highly likely to have fallen asleep at the controls?

In answer to Question 2020/3251 you stated “The request for funding for the remainder of the financial year does include a request to fund schemes such as these and I hope that an agreement can be made with the Government to enable work on the design for improvements at this junction to complete.” As the new financial agreement does include funding for Healthy Streets please can you clarify when much needed improvements will now commence at this junction? Please also set out what other schemes under the Healthy Streets scheme which have been paused in 2020 will now commence, providing...

I understand that all TfL buses use tachographs to monitor speed and distance reached. Is any systematic assessment undertaken of the information collected to ensure that buses are not exceeding speed limits on specific roads, especially roads with a 20 mph speed limit? Please state how the information collected by the tachographs is regularly examined, other than being accessed following specific complaints about speeding.

What steps are you taking to ensure that there are long term and strategic policies to ensure the maintenance and sustainable funding arrangements for all of London’s bridges and tunnels, irrespective of their current ownership? Are steps being taken to avoid the fiasco of Hammersmith Bridge being closed for so long being repeated again in regard to any other bridge or tunnel in London?
