When will you respond to question 2017/5256 from December 2017 which asks 'Why did TfL licence UBER in 2012 and not know or understand the mechanisms of inviting and accepting bookings? Why did they fail again to understand the booking process when they carried out their investigation into their business model in 2014? Did TfL Management just take assurances from UBER rather than carrying out their own due diligence?'

TfL provide data for phone calls made to TPH, this data consists of the number of calls received, time taken to answer and calls aborted etc. The LCDC believe that sharing this data would be beneficial for transparency and to understand the productivity of TPH better. Will the Mayor consider providing monthly data reports on emails TPH receive from trade groups and would you consider the data to include: 1) The number of emails to TPH from individual trade groups on a monthly basis? 2) The percentage of emails that TPH reply to? 3) Length of time taken by TPH...

Do you recognise that this raises serious questions of LTPH's impartiality and conduct? Will you now call for an independent inquiry of LTPH's role in licensing and regulating UBER?
