What was Leon Daniels (Head of surface Transport) paid as a final salary pay off for services rendered. Did this include a golden handshake and if so how much? Many thanks.

TfL Ref: FOI-2703-1718

Thank you for your email received by us on 20 December 2017 asking for information about remuneration.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can confirm we do hold the information you require.

However, in accordance with the FOI Act, we are not obliged to supply the information you have requested as it is subject to a statutory exemption to the right of access to information, under Section 22 of the Act. Information regarding remuneration of senior employees is published in our Annual Report and therefore, in this instance, the exemption has been applied as the information you have requested is intended for future publication.

This exemption is subject to a public interest test, which requires us to assess whether the public interest in applying the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosure. In this instance, while we acknowledge the significant public interest in matters of public safety, we consider that the public interest favours the publication of this information, in context and according to the pre-determined schedule, rather than in response to your request, to ensure the information is provided accurately and in an accessible manner.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

Yours sincerely

Lee Hill

Senior FOI Case Officer

FOI Case Management Team

General Counsel

Transport for London
