I wish to establish the current number of Non-Permanent Labour staff employed within Transport For London and its subsidiaries (i.e London Underground), what positions those Non-Permanent Labour staff occupy and how long each member of Non-Permanent Labour staff has been retained (to date) within Transport For London and its subsidiaries. Whilst I accept that the personal details of Non-Permanent Labour staff employed within Transport For London and its subsidiaries would not be divulged, Transport for London has strict polices for the use of Non-Permanent Labour and so all other pertinent information (as requested above) should be obtainable. Kind regards,

Whilst I accept that the personal details of Non-Permanent Labour staff employed within Transport For London and its subsidiaries would not be divulged, Transport for London has strict polices for the use of Non-Permanent Labour and so all other pertinent information (as requested above) should be obtainable.”
