Why didn't TfL revoke Uber's licence before 30th Sept, given that the Private Hire Act clearly states this can be done on public safety grounds?

Are you concerned that a serious sexual assault or worse occurs during this period of Uber's appeals process, given that sexual assaults by Uber drivers reportedly increased by 50% from the previous year.

TfL cited in their refusal to re-licence Uber, that they were not "fit and proper" and a "lack of corporate responsibility in relation to a number of issues on public safety and security". Why are they still allowed to operate during the appeal process which could take months, or more than a year to conclude?

Do you agree with the LCDC, that Uber are in breach of private hire regulations and should never have been issued a licence back in 2012, as on 27th September 2017 at the Employment Tribunal Appeal in the High Court, Uber admitted the nearest driver accepts the booking, without knowing the destination and it is not allocated by the Operator (i.e. Uber London Ltd).

What is the number of complaints made against Uber that were reported to TfL since they were licenced in 2012?

LCDC have levelled some serious allegations at TfL, alleging that there was an arrangement with Uber to streamline PH licences, and that "malfeasance" by a public body took place, with licences sold for mass profit, deliberately flooding the market, without considering the impact on driver's incomes, congestion and pollution. Have you investigated these allegations?

In Question 2017/3471, I asked why 'the phasing of the traffic lights both before and behind Marble Arch are set on such a short 'green man' phase.' Your response was: 'The signals have a 'green man' period of six seconds, followed by a safety 'blackout' period to allow pedestrians to clear the crossing.' I note that your reply carefully omits to explain what the 'safety blackout' period is. Notwithstanding, both these roads (the A4202 and the A40) consist of five lanes of traffic at Marble Arch. No reasonable person would expect a pedestrian to cross a five-lane road in a...

I note that TfL is delaying buying new rolling stock for the Northern and Jubilee lines and wonder whether track replacement on the Underground is being slowed in order to help reduce expenditure, as part of the savings the Mayor has tasked TfL with finding. Could the Mayor confirm that this is actually the case?

I distinctly recall Mayor Ken Livingstone leading London's Pride Parade in 2004, in the company of the actor and national treasure Sir Ian McKellen. Indeed, who having seen it, could forget the sight of Mayor Boris Johnson in his pink cowboy hat at Pride in 2008. Mere words would be insufficient to do justice to that occasion. I am in no doubt that the image of Mayor Johnson in his pink Stetson will become emblematic of our own age, in much the same way that portraiture of the Virgin Queen came to define an earlier epoch. I was therefore somewhat...
