FOI request detail

Advertising spend by Heathrow & Gatwick owners with TFL

Request ID: FOI-0940-1718
Date published: 03 October 2017

You asked
How much was spent on advertising over 1) the entire TfL network (tube stations, tube carriages, bus stops etc) and 2) at Westminster tube station specifically, by: • Heathrow (/ their owners BAA), and • Gatwick (/ their owners Global Infrastructure Partners), Over the period 8th June 2016 to 8th June 2017 (the year in the run-up to the general election). There is a clear public interest in knowing what these two large businesses have spent seeking to influence the public and MPs over the past year in the run-up to the election, especially over a period of time that is regulated by the Lobbying Act. Such information has also previously been released by the Mayor of London and I hope this more recent data can similarly be released.
