On February 20th the Sunday Times newspaper reported that Chinese telecoms firm Huawei were offering TfL significant funds to install mobile telephony equipment on the London Underground in time for the 2012 Olympics. Please tell us what the latest situation with regards to Huawei's offer is. In addition, do you believe it appropriate for transport scrutineers, not to mention members of the public, to learn of such a substantial and high impact proposal with potentially far reaching consequences for London transport from a newspaper?
