Transport for London is currently undergoing a transformation, which includes significant back office organisational change. A large number of the staff affected belong to the Unite Union. However, the TfL Executive Board is refusing to include representation from that union, proportionate to its numbers. Does the Mayor have any plans as TfL Board Chair to rectify this discrimination based on trade union membership, or is he content to allow this situation to continue.

In 2013 and 2014, Uber London had a total turnover of £12.4 million and paid a total of £28,796 in UK tax. In 2015, it had a turnover of £23.3 million and paid £411,000 in UK tax. The company does not pay VAT in the UK. As Steve McNamara, the general secretary of the Licensed Taxi Drivers Association (LTDA) has stated: 'Any four black-cab drivers are paying more tax than Uber.' What sum does the Mayor think Uber should be contributing annually, as its fair share of the upkeep of London's roads?
