  • Meeting date: 22 November 2018
Further to your answers to 2018/2595, 2018/2596 and 2018/2597 you failed to provide an answer as to whether TfL will take any action to ensure that bus drivers, including trainee drivers, who were not paid the London Living Wage for any period of time since 2009 are retrospectively compensated.

In February 2018 in answer to Question 2018/0334 you stated: "Based on the latest programme that Transport for London has received from the borough, it is anticipated that main construction will start on site in Autumn 2019." Yet recently in the local media a Hammersmith and Fulham Council spokesperson was quoted as stating: "We don't know why the Mayor's office has given a start date of autumn 2019.
